The Audia Flight Strumento N°1 MK2 stereo preamp is the perfect device to transmit the perfect signal with precision, dynamics and incredible speed (bandwidth over 1 MHz) to any power amplifier. During the creation, the engineers used the most accurate tool, human hearing, to help set up the circuits in the original Strumento N°1 (small but critical changes include the selection of resistor and capacitor ratings).
The device is built according to the "double mono" scheme, the level adjustment is performed on separate boards for each of the channels. The power supply is based on as many as three fully shielded toroidal transformers. There is also a CPU circuit that provides for the possibility of disabling inactive inputs, adjusting sensitivity and gain (within 6 dB).
A 28 kg preamp with an energy consumption of 200 VA sounds proud! And when you find out that the total capacitance of the capacitors in the power supply is 60 thousand UF, then confusion creeps in at all: what is the preliminary in it? Nevertheless, the fact remains, and even more so
