Fully discrete, direct-coupled, dual-monaural line-level output circuit provides exceptional reproduction of the analog signal, which is delivered to the balanced XLR stereo outputs as well as the single-ended RCA connectors. A linear power supply with an oversized toroidal transformer is employed to ensure the widest bandwidth and dynamic range possible.

Control

With debossed top cover vents, screen-printed logo, and machined aluminum buttons, no detail has been overlooked.
