SPECIAL DESIGN FEATURES
COMPACT ELEGANCE: Balanced integrated amplier design housed inside a low prole,
compact, ultra-low resonance, structurally rigid chassis that is precision-machined
from solid blocks of aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum that is completely sealed for
trouble-free operation and high RF and EMI isolation. An auto-ranging switch-mode
power supply accepts all world-wide mains voltages. The elegant front panel is
precision-machined and sculpted with a diamond tipped cutting tool.
I/O FLEXIBILITY: Dual low impedance line-level outputs (80 ohms balanced, 40 ohms
unbalanced), 40k ohms balanced and unbalanced inputs, and preamp bypass inputs
allow unprecedented compatibility with audio and A/V components.
HIGH-PRECISION SURFACE MOUNT COMPONENTS: Extensive use of Lead (Pb)-free, low
temperature coefficient, active and passive surface-mount components results in
signicantly smaller loop areas, reduced circuit capacitance and inductance, and
introduces less noise than conventional leaded components.
THIN-FILM RESISTORS: All resistors are low noise, 0.1% thin-lm type for extremely low
thermal noise which complement the low-noise characteristics of the active circuitry.
FOUR-LAYER CIRCUIT BOARD: All circuitry is populated on one side of a 4 layer circuit
board to allow for continuous, unbroken, low impedance ground and power supply
distribution planes. Care was taken to minimize signal path lengths and components
sizes.
TRANSFORMER-COUPLING AND ISOLATION: Transformer coupled input circuitry provides
universal component compatibility and virtually eliminates ground loop noise and RFI/
EMI. Transformer coupling ensures identical overall gain when using unbalanced input
adapters. Other benets include ground noise isolation and excellent common mode
noise rejection (CMRR) from all sources.
PRECISION VOLUME ADJUSTMENTS: Dual rate volume control allows precision level
adjustments over nearly a 100 dB range. The volume control incorporates a
permanently noiseless optical encoder that always maintain its tactile feel, accuracy,
and channel balance at all settings. The optical encoder mounted behind the volume
knob commands the attenuation level of a monolithic resistor attenuator over a 99.5
dB range in 0.5 dB increments. Excellent channel matching, monotonicity, and low
noise is achieved throughout the entire volume adjustment range over the lifetime of
the product.
