Octave Phono Module: Ultimate Customizable Analog Experience for Audiophiles
The Octave Phono Module is a high-end phono preamplifier for audiophiles seeking exceptional analog sound reproduction. Its modular architecture offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing users to customize input and output configurations to suit various audio systems and preferences.
Key Features
- Modular Input Options: The Phono Module supports up to three simultaneous input modules, accommodating a wide range of phono and line sources. Available input modules include:
- RCA MM Module: Features switchable input impedance between 1k Ohm and 47k Ohm.
- RCA MC Module: Offers adjustable input impedance ranging from 50 to 1k Ohm, with two gain settings.
- Balanced XLR MC Module: Provides the same impedance and gain adjustments as the RCA MC module.
- Modular Output Options: Users can select from three output modules to match their system requirements:
- Standard RCA Output Module: Includes dual RCA outputs—one fixed level and one with passive regulation.
- RCA Direct Drive Module: This module features dual RCA outputs with a buffered regulated output, enabling direct connection to power amplifiers.
- Balanced XLR Direct Drive Module: This module incorporates complex circuitry with tubes and integrated circuits to provide a balanced output capable of driving power amplifiers directly.
- Tube-Based RIAA Equalization: The RIAA stage utilizes three tubes, ensuring high gain and precise equalization, superior spectral clarity, and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
- External Power Supply: An external, magnetically shielded power supply minimizes noise and interference, contributing to the Phono Module’s exceptional audio performance.
- Design and Build: The Phono Module is available in silver or black finishes. It features a robust aluminum chassis that combines durability with a sleek aesthetic. Its design includes both XLR and RCA outputs with low output impedance, facilitating the use of cable lengths up to 10 meters without compromising audio quality.
The Octave Phono Module is a versatile, high-quality preamplifier that allows audiophiles to fine-tune their audio systems for an exceptional listening experience.
