Contained in the good trying Soulution 330 lives a devoted preamplifier, a devoted energy amplifier, and the evaluation pattern got here totally loaded with the optionally available DAC and MC Phono Stage. Simply add Rockports.
4 pair of line stage inputs (2x RCA, 2x XLR), and a balanced Supply-Out be a part of the one set of speaker binding posts whereas the optionally available DAC board and MC Phono Stage, that gives impedance (loading) choices through the entrance panel controls or distant, occupy the highest slots.
The amplifier, which relies on the know-how used within the Soulution Collection 5 amplifiers, operates in Class A placing out 120 Watts into 8 Ohm, doubling that into 4 Ohms for 240 W, and doubling that once more for 480 Watts into 2 Ohms (dynamic). Six energy provides feed the features of the 330 with clear, filtered energy and the quantity management employs high-precision, low-noise steel foil resistors whereas a second PGA management (Programmable Achieve Amplifier) takes over throughout adjustment to allow the quantity to be adjusted easily with out clicks. As quickly as the brand new desired stage worth has been chosen, the unit returns management to the precision resistors in accordance with Soulution.
The easy entrance panel contains a show with purple LEDs, three operate buttons (energy, mute, prog to enter program mode) and a silky clean multi-function management for Quantity, Quantity Dim (as outlined in Program Mode), Enter Choice, and for navigating the Program Mode menu. An included distant mimics these controls.
As I kinda joked up entrance, a part of the explanation for the Soulution’s arrival at this very second is a system-building concern—I needed an influence companion that ‘matches’ the Rockport Atria II (extra information) by way of efficiency / worth and I’ve been listening to superb issues about Soulution amps for a while.
And right here we’re.
