Concerto Features
Two pairs XLR input connectors for balanced system configurations.
Three pairs RCA input connectors for unbalanced system configurations.
Two pairs of parallel, high-current, balanced line level preamplifier outputs to allow driving of external amplifiers, subwoofers, zones, etc.
Fully-balanced transformer-coupled inputs provide universal compatibility with other components and eliminate ground loop noise and EMI.
Fully-balanced circuit topology implemented on all inputs and outputs.
Bypass function allows for transparent use in combination audio/home theater systems.
Regulated, high-current, linear power supply provides stable operating voltage with the lowest possible noise and distortion artifacts under all operating and line conditions.
Low power consumption permits constant power-up operation to eliminate warm-up time.
Optical encoder type volume control maintains quiet, trouble-free performance and accuracy over the entire lifetime of the product.
Dual range volume control allows large volume level changes when knob is rotated abruptly, yet allows small, precise volume level changes when knob is rotated slowly.
Six function, hand-held infrared remote transmitter.
Ultra-low resonance, structurally rigid chassis, precision-machined from a solid block of aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum.
Optional plug-in phono cards (installed internally) convert Line Input 2 to high performance phono inputs. Three gain and loading options can accommodate moving magnet (MM), moving coil (MC) cartridge types and high output moving coil cartridge types.
