Preamplifiers — Audia Flight STRUMENTO n° 1 Signature

The STRUMENTO n° 1 Signature is a preamplifier from Audia Flight, sharing the STRUMENTO n° 1's exceptional bandwidth in a somewhat lighter chassis with different connectivity balance. The STRUMENTO n° 1 Signature brings Audia Flight's most accomplished current engineering to dedicated line-level signal control.

Key specs that matter

Two balanced XLR inputs and three single-ended inputs are provided, with two balanced and one single-ended output - a somewhat different connectivity balance than the standard STRUMENTO n° 1. Gain is 90dBu, matching the STRUMENTO n° 1. Input impedance is 15,000 ohms on both connections, also matching. Output impedance is a low 5 ohms on both connections, matching. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 1Hz to an extraordinary 1,000,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, matching the STRUMENTO n° 1. Signal-to-noise ratio is 105dB unweighted, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.05%. At 450 x 120 x 450mm and 22.5kg, the STRUMENTO n° 1 Signature is considerably lighter than the standard STRUMENTO n° 1's 38.5kg.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally transparent, richly detailed signal handling reflecting the extraordinary 1MHz bandwidth, matching the standard STRUMENTO n° 1's measurement standards in a somewhat lighter chassis.

Pairing

Audia Flight's own STRUMENTO n° 8 Signature monoblock amplifiers offer a natural, brand-coherent pairing within the same broader flagship catalogue.

Alternatives

Audia Flight's own standard STRUMENTO n° 1 offers a somewhat heavier alternative with slightly different connectivity within the same broader flagship catalogue.
