IP-777 Pre-Amplifier

A new, High Performance Pre-Amplification System from Kern Electro-Dynamic Ltd

This New Product from Kern Electro-Dynamic Ltd and Audio Designer/bassist Les Plopa Features:

 

  • Balanced and very high impedance
    (10  meg) inputs for versatility
  • Straight forward controls for quick and easy setup.
  • All vacuum tube signal path for low noise, warmth, clarity and tonal transparency. No chips used.
  • High quality components: Polypropylene capacitors,
    flameproof metal film resistors, gold plated connectors ect., were chosen for the best tone and longest life.
  • Tone controls are passive for an intuitive, familiar feel, and a minimum fussing.
  • Peak lamps that come on before clipping, letting you know in advance before the signal degrades.
  • Hand soldered Point-to-Point wiring, using glass epoxy tag board for high quality and durable build
    construction. Great for rugged road use.
  • Rear mounted, recessed tubes for cooling and easy access without removing unit from your rack. Only ceramic tube sockets are used.
  • Balanced 600 ohm output using broadcast quality output transformer, capable of + 20 output level. Separate line-out master control.
  • Hi level unbalanced output with separate master volume control.
  • Continuous buffered tuner output.
  • Hi-z input has a very high 10 meg input impedance. This is attained by using a very special bootstrapped follower circuit that produces little loading on pickups such as piezo transducers, giving full range response and eliminating the need for for additional pre-amp box usually needed with piezo pickups.
  • Buffered signal level effects loop for your favorite pedals and processors.
  • Unit does not invert the phase of signal, preserving signal punch.
  • High voltage design with audiophile concepts.
  • Engineered for headroom and high fidelity performance, Class "A" circuitry
