Product information "PreAmplifier Kit"

GAIN UP, NOISE DOWN

The PreAmplifier Kit is packed with features designed to provide a high quality audio and user experience. The heart of the kit is a fully analogue build-up PreAmplifier. It is controlled by a 2.7” monochrome display, which offers adjustable brightness and an on-time standby feature. A power indication LED keeps you informed about the power status. The kit includes two full aluminium control knobs, giving you precise control over your settings while adding a touch of tactile to your setup. For added convenience, the kit comes with a remote control, allowing you to adjust settings from a distance.

Each input on the PreAmplifier features adjustable gain offset, enabling you to customise the audio levels to perfectly match your preferences. Furthermore, the kit is extendable with the PreDIGin Add-on, providing a DAC, Fusion Connect board, Bluetooth input board and Streaming option.

One of the most compelling aspects of the PreAmplifier Kit is the combination of high-end quality and the do-it-yourself approach. Assembling your own amplifier not only brings a sense of accomplishment but also provides a deeper understanding of the technology behind the audio equipment. The kit is designed to be user- friendly, with easy-to-follow instructions that guide you through the assembly process. Most users can complete the assembly in under an hour, making it an accessible project even for those new to DIY electronics. For additional support, an online instructional video is available, offering a visual step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth assembly process.

The PreAmplifier Kit features a sleek, modern design with a matte black finish that will enhance and pay compliment to any audio setup. Made from durable, high-grade aluminium, the housing is built to withstand regular use while maintaining its pristine appearance. This robust construction ensures that your preamplifier will not only perform well but retain its aesthetic appeal for years to come.

Furthermore, you can personalise your PreAmplifier with our black or silver faceplate replacement options.
