About this item
Styled in red, the SPL Elector is a high-quality preamp for use in hi-fi scenarios. The unit is an all-analog take on the Director Mk2, giving you the same VOLTAiR technology and internal circuit topography. Use the Elector with your tape machines, casette recorders, and CD players.
Multiple Connnections Possible
The Elector is a stereo preamplifier that provides connectivity for six analog (three stereo) sources in the form of balanced XLR inputs, while the other three stereo input channels are standard RCA inputs. Power amplifiers or active loudspeakers can be connected via balanced XLRs and you can connect the Direct Out to your own headphone amplifier.
Prominent Volume Dial
Volume is controlled in the 120V rail VOLTAiR volume stage and an ALPS RK27 Big Blue potentiometer, providing a sturdy feel and excellent channel matching.
Amp Control
Up to two power amplifiers can be wire-linked and triggered for simultaneously switching power on/off with the Elector. To achieve this, connect the AMP CTL sockets with 3.5mm mono-jack cables to the power amplifier. The Elector sends out a 12V trigger voltage on the sockets A & B to switch on or off one or two stereo amps or two mono blocks.
IR Remote Control
Volume can be remotely controlled using any existing infrared (IR) remote control.
