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.
* 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
