Product Information

  Model 5
  Audiopax > Pre-amplifier
The first in the world to have AUDIOPAX exclusive Timbre Lock™ feature, a truly remarkable step foward in the reproduction os sound. It was recognized a long time ago that proper system compatibility between the componets in an audio chain is much more important than the performance of each isolated part. AUDIOPAX has been researching the interfaces in audio since the company started almost a decade ago. The multi award winning model eighty eight amplifier has addressed the speaker/amplifier matching. The new model five design looks at the preamplifier role in a novel way and allows you to achieve the most musical performance. This is the result of its ability to optimally interface with just about any system through the use of different Timbre Lock™ settings.

Features:

The Timbre Lock™ controls in the preamplifier are not the only unique feature. Several other details help it extract the most from your system. The chassis is made of non-magnetic material optimized for low mechanical resonances. The power supply is outside in a different box to prevent any electromagnetic or mechanical interference. Even the remote control circuitry is containded in the power supply box! The eletronic circuit is quite unusual with an inductor loaded mosfet signal path. Extended frequency response, exceptional low level resolution, lifelike dynamics and very high immunity to load variations, are some of the results of this unique topology.
