Preamplifier

Respect for your sources.

The new X-P1200 preamplifier is the showcase of our expertise. A reference stereo preamplifier, it is in fact composed of two mono preamplifiers assembled in a single compartmentalized housing to ensure complete isolation of the various circuits and preamplification stages.

This design ensures better channel separation (crosstalk) and therefore a better stereo effect.

Not only does your X-P1200 feature independent preamplifier circuits for the left and right channels, but their power supplies are also designed to meet the most demanding requirements. that we have chosen to make them totally independent thanks to the use of two transformers.

The X-P1200 is equipped with 9 analog inputs, including 2 A USB B (XMOS) input, 2 coaxial digital inputs and 2 digital inputs. Output side, you have a choice of balanced XLR outputs or unbalanced RCA type. Everything has been thought out to make this preamplifier the reference for best audio systems: mains input with choke filtering and capacitors, two high-performance toroidal transformers current capacity, filtering with 4 capacitors 12000uF / 150V.

Control is by integrated circuits mounted on heat sinks. Inputs and outputs are switched by relays without loss of contact. Cinch inputs are balanced and desymmetrized using high-quality Burr Brown operational amplifiers.

Digital source processing is entrusted to an Analog Device AD-1955 converter. This converter is particularly suited to high-end and SACD applications. Digital-to-analog decoding is of the highest quality, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 123 dB and top audio quality. It features a sigmadelta multibit modulator, high-performance digital interpolation filters, and a continuous-time differential current output DAC.

Playback of audio files from a PC or MAC is entrusted to XMOS, a benchmark solution in the field of high-quality audio reproduction.

The X-P1200 can be combined with the X-A1200 mono unit to create an exceptional hifi system.
