Audionet PRE G2
Revolutionary Resolution
You would be hard pressed to find a more competent preamplifier anyplace on this planet. This pretty much sums up the PRE G2 in a nutshell. As for what it is capable to do to and with music – words fail us. But fortunately not the knowing members of the press.
There are not that many things in this world you could justly qualify as being the optimum of their respective category. The epitome of what human beings can achieve with maximal effort at a given moment in time and space. To listen to or even own something falling in this category ranks among the more memorable experiences we can have on this earth. One can very well exist outside of the reality distortion field these things project. But there are many people who – once they had an epiphany like this – understandably prefer not to.
Function
Microprocessor-controlled reference preamplifier.
Special Features
- Chassis and circuit design magnetically and capacitively optimized
- Double mono construction
- Controlling and signal processing units are optically decoupled
- Electronically switched, real time linearised high precision resistor network for volume and balance
- Completely DC-coupled, no capacitors in the signal path
- Two individual encapsulated 100 VA toroid core transformer
- Special audio capacitors with together 164.000 µF capacity
- Input buffer with a virtual infinite input impedance
- Extra power supply for the control unit
- Discrete realized Audionet output drivers
- Home cinema mode for home cinema integration
- Chassis insensitive against microphonic effects (made of massive aluminium)
- Remote activation over Audionet Link (optical waveguide)
- Mains phase recognition
- Audionet Metal Remote Control RC 1
