Next Generation Design
With an ultra-flat frequency response from 1Hz all the way up to 40kHz, and an incredibly fast slew rate, PRIME delivers detailed and articulate audio to the mix engine at the highest possible resolution with breath-taking transient response, and full range linearity.
While most preamps are based on AC coupled stages, PRIME has a DC coupled gain stage which eliminates the LF distortion typical of AC coupling, vastly improving low frequency linearity and phase response. This unique design calls for painstaking component choice and layout in addition to intensive per channel component trimming during commissioning.
A Difference You Can Hear
Because linearity was paramount in the design process, our design team made several innovations to improve high input level handling. A super-matched low noise quad transistor package on the front end dramatically reduces thermally induced very low frequency anomalies.
Audiophile grade Nichicon FG (Fine Gold) electrolytic capacitors – manufactured using state of the art etching techniques – have been utilised in the signal path.
Naturally, PRIME employs the very latest 32bit / 96kHz analogue-to-digital converters, but more importantlyalso
Any combination of PRIME Input and Output cards can be installed in a DX32 modular expander. PRIME modules can also be mixed with existing analogue and digital DX32 I/O modules.
