Smart and user-friendly operation

 

The PreAmp III features an Auto On/Off function that automatically powers on when a signal is detected and turns off after 15 minutes of inactivity.

A 12V Trigger Out allows it to control connected power amplifiers – such as the PowerAmpster III – so your system powers up and shuts down in perfect sync.

 

With the included remote control and a clean, intuitive front panel layout, operation is both simple and elegant.
