SHORTEST SIGNAL PATH:
Gain stages, based upon ultra-low noise differential
balanced audio amplifiers, are implemented into the shortest signal path of any
previous Rowland preamplifier. All signal paths are balanced from input to output
for maximum noise rejection.
DUAL-ZONE PREAMPLIFICATION:
Separate 2nd gain stage for record outputs offers
same circuitry as the primary signal path with independent volume control.
TRANSFORMER-COUPLED:
All inputs and outputs routed through professional
grade Lundahl transformers for maximum common noise rejection, EMI immunity,
and cross-component compatibility. Transformer coupling also ensures invariant
gain for all balanced inputs and outputs. When used with input transformer
equipped JRDG amplifiers a 140dB dynamic range interface can be achieved. All
unbalanced inputs convert to balanced upon entering the preamp.
FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY:
6 inputs (4 XLR balanced, 2 RCA unbalanced); 4 main
outputs (2 XLR balanced, 2 RCA unbalanced); 2 record outputs (1 XLR
balanced, 1 RCA unbalanced); per channel.
INPUT GAIN OFFSETS:
Hi resolution independently programmable gain offset on
each main input ranging from -20dB to +20dB in 0.5dB increments.
OUTPUT OFFSET:
High-resolution programmable gain offset on
MAIN UNBALANCED
OUTPUT 2
(mapped to
OUTPUT B
on the preamplifier back panel) with 0.5dB
resolution adjustable relative to
MAIN OUTPUT 1
(mapped to
OUTPUT A
on the
preamplifier back panel).
UNITY GAIN INPUTS:
Any main input can be configured as unity gain bypass for
compatibility with theater processors.
PHASE INVERSION:
Independent signal phase inversion control on left and right
channels for optimum speaker setup and system checks.
CHANNEL BALANCE:
Hi resolution (1.0dB) panning of stereophonic image
(channel balance) for a m/-20dB shift.
VFD:
Long life 32x320 pixel custom graphic vacuum fluorescent display (VFD)
offers maximum resolution of display data for status indication.
