Preamplifiers — Audia Flight STRUMENTO n° 1

The STRUMENTO n° 1 is an accomplished flagship-tier preamplifier from Audia Flight, built with an exceptionally wide bandwidth extending into the megahertz range. The STRUMENTO n° 1 represents Audia Flight's most ambitious current statement in preamplifier engineering.

Key specs that matter

Three balanced XLR inputs and two single-ended inputs are provided, with two balanced and one single-ended output. Gain is 90dBu. Input impedance is 15,000 ohms on both connections. Output impedance is a low 5 ohms on both connections. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 1Hz to an extraordinary 1,000,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB - a remarkable range extending far beyond audible limits. Signal-to-noise ratio is 105dB unweighted, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.05%. At 450 x 120 x 450mm and 38.5kg, the STRUMENTO n° 1's considerable weight reflects serious internal power-supply and chassis engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally transparent, richly detailed signal handling reflecting the extraordinary 1MHz bandwidth, representing Audia Flight's most ambitious current flagship engineering ambition.
