Pre Amplifiers

Pre AmplifiersA Preamplifier is a device in which the user can connect all audio or audio/video source components (such as CD or DVD players). The preamplifier then can switch between sources, process audio and, or video, but also supplies an output signal to what is referred to as a Power Amplifier. The Power Amplifier then supplies the signal and power needed to the loudspeakers.

Primare A34.2 Stereo Power Amplifier1 ONLY! Primare A34.2 Stereo Power AmplifierThe A34.2 is a 2 x 150 watt stereo power amplifier utilising proprietary UFPD technology. It is designed to provide high power output with very low distortion for Primare’s PRE32 audiophile preamplifier and all other preamps, as well as multi-channel audio processors. UFPD’s instantaneous rise time results in a naturally fast, clean and agile sound over a much wider frequency range and with exceptional headroom. Ecologically the A34.2 is far superior to conventional Class A/B designs being extremely efficient without generating excessive heat.$3,999.00$3,199.00
