CPA3000 Preamplifier
Thank you for buying a Chord Electronics product.
Before you start to enjoy your preamplifier, please take a couple of minutes to read how to connect your audio equipment
and how to maximise your listening experience.
Product Description
Using similar technology as the highly successful CPA5000 reference preamplifier the CPA3000 features a high
frequency switch mode power supply and ultra low noise circuitry to give the very best noise floor performance.
Four pairs of balanced style XLR inputs allows for great flexibility with two additional RCA inputs for unbalanced
sources. A single tape loop is available for playback and also to record from any of the connected sources.
Front panel controls allow for easy input and output selection if required but changes can also be made via the supplied
remote control. Cleverly situated under the main display, signal detection indicators have been replaced with highly
accurate VU meters. These give both clear signal detection and accurate input level. Naturally via the front panel control,
these may be selected or disabled as required. Two polished and nickel plated aluminium controls feature prominently to
manually adjust the volume and the balance and give easy visual reference of the settings. Using the precision motorised
Alps potentiometers levels can also be adjusted by remote control. All settings are clearly visible via the large easy to
read vacuum fluorescent display and are retained even when power is removed.
