The Tango Apex NEO sets a new standard as a balanced phono preamp featuring a strictly double mono construction. Each channel is equipped with its own additional housing, dedicated power supply, and phono amp, ensuring optimal performance and separation. Moreover, every aspect of the Tango Apex NEO is conveniently remote-controlled, offering seamless operation and versatility.
Features:
- 3 inputs: 1 x balanced XLR and 2 x unbalanced RCA
- All signal switching is carried out with ultra high-quality miniature signal relays
- Adjustable gain for each input (individually adjustable): 40 dB, 50 dB, 60 dB and 70 dB
- Input impedance individually adjustable for each input: 47, 100 , 220 , 470 , 1 k, 47 k and all values resulting from parallel connection.
- Input capacitance: basic capacitance approx. <=100 pF, switchable capacitances for unbalanced inputs: 100 pF and 220 pF; Two capacitances can be switched on, resulting in three values (C1, C2, C1+C2)
- Subsonic filter: -24 dB. Operating frequency 20 Hz
- 2 outputs: 1 x XLR and 1 x RCA, maximum output voltage 8.5 V RMS switchable as fixed output or as adjustable output (volume control in 100 steps)
- Built-in headphone amplifier: maximum output voltage 8.5 V RMS
- Power supply unit: separate shunt power supply with 25 VA per channel and one separate power supply with 25 VA for the microprocessor control. Digital control galvanically isolated from the analog power supply.
- S/N: e.g. -73 dB at 60 dB amplification
- Frequency response: +-0.13 dB RIAA equalized
- Distortion factor: 0.06 %
- Crosstalk attenuation: better -90 dB due to double mono design
- Weight: 34 kg
