Fully configurable
The VP3 Phono preamplifier incorporates 36 rear-mounted, user-configurable, mechanical dip switches to provide maximum flexibility and versatility allowing precise adjustment of the VP3 to match the gain and loading requirements of the users chosen phono cartridge.
Dual connection
The VP3 Phono preamplifier can accommodate the simultaneous connection of two turntables. One pair of VP3 inputs can be assigned to use a Moving Magnet (MM) or high output Moving Coil cartridge (MC) and the second VP3 input pair can be set up for a low output Moving Coil (MC) cartridge.
Possible options are:
1 x Moving Magnet (MM) turntable and 1 x low output Moving Coil (MC) turntable.
1 x High output Moving Coil (MC) turntable and 1 x low output Moving Coil (MC) turntable.
Touch panel control
The VP3 features a unique, stylish, touch-sensitive control panel capable of switching the unit in and out of standby or selection of Moving Coil (MC) / Moving Magnet (MM) or Mono modes.
Compatibility
The VP3 is compatible with both high / low output Moving Coil (MC) and Moving Magnet (MM) phono cartridges.
Normal RIAA or IEC RIAA Equalisation Profiles
User-configurable, rear-mounted mechanical dip switches provide the user with the ability to select between normal RIAA and IEC RIAA equalisation profiles.
Low distortion
The VP3 generates a diminutive Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) figure of only 0.002% at 1KHZ @ rated output, providing a clean, clear and precise reproduction of vinyl recordings.
Balanced and unbalanced outputs
The VP3 phono preamplifier features both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analog audio output pairs. Both balanced and unbalanced output pairs can be used simultaneously without interference or degradation in signal performance.
High Power internal power supply
The VP3 features a high power, shielded toroidal transformer with shunt voltage regulation and filtering, providing high levels of transparency, musical detail and dynamics.
