Description AVID HIFI PULSUS PHONO PREAMPLIFIER Advanced Phono Stage for Discerning Audiophiles The AVID Pulsus Phono Stage is engineered to deliver exceptional audio fidelity, catering to both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges. With three selectable gain settings—MM, MC Low, and MC High—the Pulsus ensures optimal compatibility and performance across a diverse range of phono cartridges. This adaptability allows vinyl enthusiasts to fine-tune their listening experience, achieving unparalleled sound quality. Precision Engineering and High-Quality Components Built from first principles, the Pulsus features an unbalanced design that maintains outstandingly low distortion and noise across the audio spectrum. The unit is equipped with gold-plated RCA inputs and outputs, ensuring superior signal transmission. Gain, resistance, and capacitance settings are easily adjustable via switches located on the underside of the chassis, providing users with the flexibility to match the phono stage precisely to their cartridge specifications. The passive RIAA equalization circuit, incorporating Neumann HF correction and high-end capacitors, guarantees linear and accurate sound reproduction. An external 35VA regulated power supply further enhances performance by minimizing noise and interference. The AVID Pulsus Phono Stage combines meticulous engineering and premium components to provide audiophiles with a versatile and high-performance solution for vinyl playback Specifications Noise: < -81dB (MM), < -67dB (MC)Distortion: < 0.001%RIAA Accuracy: 5Hz – 70kHz ±0.5dBGain: 48dB (MM), 60dB (MC Low), 70dB (MC High)Resistance Loading: 100Ω, 300Ω, 500Ω, 1kΩ, 5kΩ, 10kΩ, 47kΩCapacitance Loading: 100pF, 200pF, 500pFPower Supply: External 35VA regulatedVoltage Input: 100-240V AC, 50/60HzDimensions: 120 x 220 x 70mmWeight: 1.5kg (main unit), 1.5kg (power supply)
