The Kharma P150 preamplifier illustrates that originality consists of returning to the origin. This preamplifier has a very solid and compact design, which is almost totally made out of aluminium. As a result, the form and function of this preamplifier are matched in perfect harmony.
The design of the Matrix preamplifier fits perfectly in the Matrix series, but also can easily blend in other stereo settings. The colour of the aluminium casing can be blank aluminium or black. In combination with the minimal red LED display this preamplifier returns to the origin.

Kharma P150 Features
The Matrix P150 preamplifier is a fully balanced single-ended class-A preamplifier. A signal path without coupling capacitors and specially selected non-magnetic 0.5% tolerance resistors, guaranty a sound of the highest transparency.
The output is controlled by a high-quality motorized potentiometer. The power supply uses unique filter capacitors, specially designed for Kharma, to assure optimum noise reduction.
The Matrix P150 comes with an easy-to-use remote. With this remote, you can change the source, increase or decrease the volume and mute the system.
