Preamplifier Preamp III German company Accustic Arts\u00a0carried\u00a0to the audiophile reference device.\u00a0The company is true to its traditions: the basic principles laid down in the new product – a fully balanced circuit and a class A output stage – were followed, for example, in the Preamp 1 Mk3,\u00a0released\u00a014 years ago.<\/p>\n

The presence in the circuit of carefully selected Burr Brown OPA 627 opamp can also be considered traditional. Despite the tradition, the novelty is equipped with a high-resolution display, on board – a 4-channel digital volume control.\u00a0The circuit is powered by a 50 VA toroidal transformer in a magnetically shielded sealed enclosure.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

For the preamplifier, the stated frequency range extends from DC to 120 kHz with a flatness of -0.5 dB.\u00a0This is at a signal-to-noise ratio of -100 dB (weighted) and a THD + N distortion level of better than 0.002%.<\/p>\n

Preamp III allows you to choose from three balanced XLR inputs and two unbalanced RCA inputs.\u00a0Another RCA input is configured as Surround-Bypass.\u00a0The signal is output via two pairs of connectors – also available in XLR and RCA versions.<\/p>\n

Another pair of XLR and RCA outputs with a 0-180 \u00b0 phase switch are made specifically for an external headphone amplifier.\u00a0At the same time, the Preamp III itself already has such an amplifier, and the headphones can be connected to the 6.35 mm stereo jack.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The novelty is assembled by hand in Germany in a silver or black case from massive aluminum panels (the standard remote control is made in the same style).\u00a0The rotary controls are machined from solid chrome-plated brass.<\/p>\n

The cost of the Accustic Arts Preamp III has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
