Preamplifier MOMENTUM

Why only the Momentum preamp can match the exceptional quality amplifiers Momentum? Because it is the only preamp built according to the same standards. Dan D’Agostino, probably the most well-known builder of high-end equipment, created the Momentum preamp in order to best work with Momentum amplifiers.

The construction of this preamp is based on assumptions, which are also the basis for the construction of power amplifiers. First, there was used the most perfect project ever came from the hand of Dan D’Agostino. Second, the construction of each unit shall be precise technique, which the rest of the industry have long since given up selecting cheaper and faster automated assembly. Thirdly, placed emphasis on achieving maximum performance with minimal power consumption. And finally, fourth: the quality of the housing Momentum arouse jealousy is even in the best of Swiss watch makers

Innovative features The preamplifier is equipped with a meter, we know the power amplifiers Momentum. Its design was inspired watches Breuget shield. It shows basic information about pre-settings.

Boldest move, Dana D’Agostino is an introduction to the structure of the Momentum preamp tone control. This function was abandoned in the industry many years ago. Poorly designed systems for deteriorating sound quality of high-end preamps. However, D’Agostino longed for color control utility that allows you to correct the mistakes of weaker recordings.

To create a bass level control and treble, D’Agostino tried a number of filters, which allowed him to find the ones that sound the most musically. Then he brought them to the preamp design using the best available components. The result of this work is the ability to dramatically improve the sound recordings made less. Of course, if you do not use color control system can be completely excluded from the signal path

Round Remote allows you to remotely control all functions of the preamplifier. It uses radio waves – it has therefore also through the walls.

Robust construction Dan D’Agostino has applied to build Momentum preamp only discrete components. The signal path is not a single operational amplifier. The total lack of feedback loop provides the best sound musicianship. The volume control is responsible optically controlled resistor ladder – is the purest and most transparent sonically gain control method.

All electronic components embedded in the motherboard hole mounting method, which is more expensive than the popular surface mount technology today, but it provides better results sound and increases the durability and stability of the finished device.

A power supply circuit is closed 300VA in a separate case at the same time which is the basis for the reinforcement signal. With such a delicate part of the structure design regulates the sound level is insulated from interference and electromagnetic noise. Some pre-control is separate from the power of dealing with the processing of the audio signal. This enables a complete separation of the two systems and signal control.

Each stereo preamplifier Momentum is built and tested by hand in the factory business in Connecticut.
