The FLS1 is a preamplifier from Audia Flight, built with an exceptionally wide bandwidth and remarkably low output impedance. The FLS1 brings Audia Flight's meticulous engineering to dedicated line-level signal control.
Key specs that matter
Two balanced XLR inputs and three single-ended inputs are provided, with one balanced and one single-ended output. Gain is 90dBu. Input impedance is 47,000 ohms on both connections. Output impedance is a remarkably low under 1 ohm on both balanced and single-ended outputs - an exceptional figure for driving long cable runs without signal degradation. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 0.3Hz to 500,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is a strong 110dB unweighted, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.05%. At 450 x 120 x 380mm and 15kg, the FLS1 maintains a manageable preamplifier chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally transparent signal handling reflecting the remarkably low sub-1-ohm output impedance combined with the exceptionally wide 0.3Hz-500kHz bandwidth, consistent with Audia Flight's broader precision Italian engineering philosophy.
Pairing
The remarkably low sub-1-ohm output impedance handles even the longest cable runs to a downstream power amplifier without signal degradation.
Alternatives
Audia Flight's own STRUMENTO n° 1 offers a more accomplished flagship-tier alternative within the same broader preamplifier catalogue.
