SPL ELECTOR - Stereo Preamplifier

ELECTOR - Stereo Preamplifier

The analog purist.
This is the preamp for lovers of pure analog technology. With motorized volume control, retro-looking VU-meter, tape monitor and superior VOLTAiR technology, Elector brings analog sources to new life.

Milled from solid
is the large 45mm volume control. Its mass together with the Alps RK27 “Big Blue” motorized potentiometer further enhances the “spoon in honey” feel.

The red LED marker makes the setting visible even in dark environments.

RC Volume
The volume can be controlled remotely with any infrared remote control, which the Voter simply learns.

To do this, press the IR programming button and then the louder and quieter buttons.

Source of joy
You can connect up to six (6!) analog stereo sources to the Elector.

Elector offers three pairs of balanced inputs with XLR connectors and three pairs of standard inputs with gold-plated RCA connectors.

Good old days
Two mechanical VU meters display the input levels for the left and right audio channels.

With the VU switch you can optimize the display for different signal levels.

Tape Monitor
The circuit of a tape monitor is quite retro. Who still owns a cassette deck or a tape recorder? Who still has an equalizer?

To put it another way: Who would want to do that and can't do it because no manufacturer offers a tape monitoring circuit anymore?

Well, whoever wants can again.

Audio levels today are much higher than in the past and many recorders will be overloaded.

In this case, simply press the switch and the recorder level is lowered by 10 dB.

To compensate, the recorder level is increased by 10 dB. Et voilà.

Preamplifier and direct output
On the output side, power amplifiers or active speakers can be connected to the preamplifier output jacks using XLR.

The direct output via RCA collects the output signal before the volume control and thus offers the possibility of connecting a headphone amplifier.

AMP CTL
Convenient are the AMP CTL sockets to which power amplifiers with 12V trigger inputs can be connected to be switched on and off remotely together with the Director Mk2.
