Both balanced XLR and RCA inputs and outputs make it the natural partner for Thorens' XLR-equipped decks — TD 1500, TD 1600\/1601, and the TD 124 DD family — running the cartridge signal balanced from stylus to line stage. A separately shielded power supply section and configurable RGB front illumination round out a unit that is engineered, crafted, and assembled in Germany to extract maximum detail with exceptionally low noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully balanced, dual-mono circuit design — separate amplifier sections per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMM and MC compatible with per-channel DIP-switch adjustment of gain, impedance, and capacitance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable subsonic filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR and RCA inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately shielded power supply section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable RGB front illumination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartridge Compatibility: MM and MC\u003cbr\u003eInputs\/Outputs: Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (WHD): 11.8\" x 7.9\" x 11.9\" (300 x 200 x 301 mm)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 11 lbs.
