Karan Acoustics KA L Reference Mk3 Stereo Line Preamplifier

Description

The Karan Acoustics KA L Reference is the company’s statement pre-amplifier, the KA L is divided up into two separate chassis to keep the power supply completely isolated from the pre-amplifier itself ensuring as clean a signal path as possible. Using several newly developed proprietary solutions, this preamplifier yields absolutely no sonic colourations, huge soundstage, deep and tight bass and polite mids and highs.

 Karan Acoustics KA L Reference Mk3 Technical data:

* Completely balanced, dual-mono circuit topology with no overall feedback
* All stages are DC coupled and operate in true pure class A;
* Separate power supply;
* In order to avoid inherent nonlinearities of potentiometers, this preamp uses a four-gang attenuator, with 64 positions, implemented by using highest quality vacuum relays and fixed value 0.1% tolerance metal film resistors;
* Due to high sensitivity  interference of preamplifiers, the power supply has been relegated to a separate case of its own, and has been made ultra-stable using four stabilization levels per channel;
* The preamp is remote controllable
* An ultra-high precision optional MM/MC phono RIAA board is available, with a response precision of +/- 0.15 dB;
* Overall frequency response of line inputs is DC-300kHz, +0, -3dB;
* Intermodulation distortion is below 0.006%;
* Input sensitivities: RCA-line= 750mV/30k; XLR-line= 1,5V/30k; Phono MM= 2mV/47k; Phono MC= 0.2mV
* Adjustable phono gain, input load and capacitance with dip switches
* Line level input S/N ratio is better than -112 dB;
* MM input S/N ratio is better than -90dB, MC input S/N ratio is better than -81dB;
* Output level: 6V/0.6 Ohms;
* Dimensions 500×110 x 367 mm (19.7″ x 4.3″ x 14.4″) WxHxD, each case
* Dimensions in box 640x230x470 mm WxHxD each box
* Net weight for electronic part 16 kg; Box weight for electronic part 21 kg
* Box weight for power supply 17 kg; Box weight for electronic part 22 kg
* Total weight of boxes: 43 kg
