The modular flagship PA 8.3 preamp is based on a modular design, which allows the device to be continuously expanded and adapted to individual requirements. PA 8.3 consists of two parts: the base unit and modules (all modules are purchased separately). The base unit contains a newly developed and very sophisticated linear power supply, as well as processor control of all functions and all modules that can be combined in almost any way and assembled together to meet individual requirements.
