The RL-102 is a preamplifier from Vitus Audio, built with comprehensive five-input connectivity and an extraordinarily wide bandwidth. The RL-102 brings Vitus Audio's considered engineering to line-stage preamplification.
Key specs that matter
Three balanced XLR inputs and two single-ended RCA inputs are provided, with two balanced and one single-ended output. Input sensitivity is a substantial 8,000mV, with input impedance at 10k ohms on both connections, and output impedance at 80 ohms on both connections. Frequency response extends to an extraordinary 800,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio (unweighted) exceeds 110dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.01%. At 103 x 435 x 396mm and 11.5kg, the RL-102 maintains a manageable preamplifier chassis for its considerable measured performance.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean signal handling reflecting the strong over-110dB signal-to-noise figure combined with the extraordinary 800kHz bandwidth figure, representing Vitus Audio's considered current preamplifier engineering.
Pairing
The comprehensive five-input connectivity comfortably accommodates a source-rich system, and Vitus Audio's own SS-103 power amplifier shares the brand's coherent engineering philosophy.
Alternatives
Vitus Audio's broader electronics catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different configuration.
