DESIGN
APPROACH
|
Precision 8i rear panel output connectors |
PRECISION 8i uses
a high-voltage composite architecture with discrete devices
plus integrated circuits. It offers very low noise and distortion
as well as high headroom. The totally balanced dual-servo
design eliminates nearly all capacitors in the audio path
and is DC-coupled at the output. All this results in a very
detailed and transparent sound quality which challenges
even the most esoteric microphone preamps.
