The performance in the following 6 key areas guides our engineering focus and effort:-
- low distortion
- wide bandwidths
- high slew rates
- high energy reserve power supplies
- high current, large Safe Operating Area (SOA) output stage capability
- layout and physical execution.
These are in our view the prerequisites, before any further design optimisation can begin, for transparent, relaxed, fatigue free sonics.
More informationThe task of an audio preamplifier, or control amplifier, is to provide for the selection of any of a number of sources along with equalization if required, amplification and some means of level control, after which a buffered, precise replica of the input signal is then made available to a power amplifier which in turn drives the system loudspeakers. Preamplifiers therefore form a critical part of any high-end audio system signal chain and must be chosen with care.
