The new Tango Apex NEO ist a balan­ced phono preamp with a strictly double mono cons­truc­tion. The preamp is desig­ned with an extra housing per channel, a dedi­cated Power supply per channel and a phono amp per channel. All features of the Tango Apex NEO are remote con­trolled.

- 3 Inputs: 1 x balan­ced XLR & 2 x unba­lan­ced RCA

- All signal switching is carried out with ultra high-quality miniature signal relays

- Adjustable gain for each input ( indivi­dually adjus­table ): 40 dB, 50 dB, 60 dB and 70 dB

- Input impe­dance indivi­dually adjus­table for each input: 47 , 100  , 220  , 470  , 1 k , 47 k  and all values resulting from parallel connection.

- Input Capa­citance:

Basic capa­citance approx. <=100  pF, switch­able capaci­tances for unba­lanced inputs: 100 pF and 220 pF; Two capaci­tances can be switched on, resul­ting in three values ( C1, C2, C1+C2 )

- Subsonic Filter: -24 dB. Ope­rating frequency 20 Hz

- 2 Outputs: 1 x XLR and 1 x RCA, maxi­mum output voltage 8.5 V RMS switch­able as fixed output or as adjus­table output ( volume control in 100 steps )

- Built-in Head­phone Amplifier: maxi­mum output voltage 8.5 V RMS

- Power supply unit: separate shunt power supply with 25 VA per channel and one sepa­rate power supply with 25 VA for the micro­pro­cessor control. Digital control galva­nically isola­ted from the analog power supply.

- Signal to Noise Ratio: e.g. -73 dB at 60 dB ampli­fication

- Frequency Response: +-0.13 dB RIAA equa­lized

- Distortion Factor: 0.06 %

- Crosstalk Attenua­tion: better -90 dB due to double mono design

- Weight: 34 kg 75 Lbs
