SW1X PRE I Line Pre-Amplifier

SW1X Audio Design™ PRE I Performance Level 1

Line Pre-Amplifier

 

The PRE I is a pure class A, Output Transfomerless (OTL) line pre-amplifier with Power Valve Output Stage. Employing El84 power tubes at the output makes the PRE I a smaller brother to the SW1X PRE II Pre-amplifier. It is great enhancement to any tube power amplifier and ideal partner to our DAC I and II STD/SPX and LPU I Phono products, reducing their output impedance further and enhancing their sound with fullness and authority. With a help of of a PRE I, any source becomes unleashed to drive subsequent power amplifiers to its full potential.

The PRE I can be ordered with differnt series of SW1X Stepped Attenutator Volume Contols.
