Key Features  

• High-Performance Phono Stage: Supports MM (47 kohms) and MC (40/10/2.5 ohms) cartridges with adjustable impedance (3 levels for MC) and capacitance (4 levels for MM) for optimal cartridge performance.  
  
• Low-Distortion Amplification: Luxman’s proprietary circuit design minimizes distortion (<0.003% for MM, <0.02% for MC), delivering clear, natural sound with high gain (38 dB MM, 58/64 dB MC).  
  
• Fully Balanced Architecture: Balanced signal paths via XLR inputs/outputs ensure superior channel separation and noise rejection for a wide, precise soundstage.  
  
• High-Capacity Power Supply: Large EI-core transformer and 4,700 μF capacitors provide stable, clean power, reducing noise and enhancing dynamic range.  
  
• Versatile Connectivity: Includes 2 unbalanced RCA inputs, 1 balanced XLR input, and both RCA and XLR outputs, with switches for mono/stereo, subsonic filter, and direct/phase-inverted modes.  
  
• Subsonic Filter: Reduces low-frequency rumble (below 20 Hz) to maintain clarity without affecting musical content.  
  
• Robust Chassis Design: 5mm-thick aluminum top plate and loop-less structure minimize vibrations and EMI, ensuring pure signal integrity.  
  
• User-Friendly Interface: Front-panel switches for cartridge selection, impedance, capacitance, and playback modes, with a 7-segment LED display for settings.  
  
• Handcrafted in Japan: Built in Yokohama with meticulous craftsmanship, reflecting Luxman’s commitment to ultimate fidelity and durability.  
  
• Elegant Design: Blasted silver aluminum finish with a minimalist aesthetic complements Luxman’s high-end components, enhancing any hi-fi setup.
