  PRE30




The PRE30 is a high-quality two-channel preamplifier featuring a high-end, fully balanced, design.

Its input stage is made with J-FET input devices coupled in a fold back cascade for maximum transient speed. All stages are current loaded and the current source is thermally compensated, which means that no DC servos are needed. The output stage is made with MOS-FET output devices.

A custom-made 100VA toroidal transformer and double active regulators are used in the PRE30's substantial power supply, which combines with local regulators to ensure that all stages in the design receive the current needed for best possible performance.

To emphasise Primare's uncompromising approach throughout the PRE30 design, an exacting "shunt to ground" type volume control is employed for best possible sound quality. This solution is mostly found in much more expensive products.

Primare has designed the PRE30 to be as versatile and easy to use as it is advanced. Offering full remote control of all functions, including switching for its seven inputs, it also provides such useful features as individually adjustable input sensitivity for all inputs, a tape output, and a surround processor throughput, allowing the listener to use the PRE30 in a combined Home Theatre / Music reproduction system. In addition, a remote link allows the listener to control a Primare power amplifier.

In fact, when combined with the CD31 and the A30.2 or the A32 a chain has been created, guaranteeing pure musical drama, unrivalled in its class, for lovers of music and aesthetic design everywhere.
