Violectric PPA V790 Phono Stage on Sale

The new Violectric V790 phono stage features an extensive range of controls, including seven switchable impedance settings from 10 to 1000 ohms (for MC systems), eight switchable capacitance settings from 22 to 1000 pF (for MM systems), three selectable EQ filters utilizing RIAA standard, NAB, and LP-Columbia curves, a switchable 20 Hz low-cut filter, and seven gain stages ranging from +30 to +66 dB, including three gain boosts, making it easy to accommodate any piece of equipment or audio source. All parameters can be stored individually for each selectable input, so you never have to worry about writing down settings for different input sources.

The V790 features a 6 inputs and 2 outputs. It is designed to handle nearly any MM or MC cartridge. The V790 sports DC-coupled inputs with three stereo pairs of balanced XLR inputs, three stereo pairs of unbalanced RCA inputs, one stereo pair of balanced XLR outputs, and one stereo pair of unbalanced RCA outputs for up to six cartridges at the same time.

Features:

• 3 balanced stereo cartridge inputs via XLR
• 3 unbalanced stereo cartridge inputs via RCA
• 7 selectable impedances from 10 to 1000 Ohm (for MC cartridges)
• 8 selectable capacities from 22 to 1000 pF (for MM cartridges)
• 7 gain steps from +30 to +66 dB
• Clip indication to visualize incorrect operation
• 3 EQ filters RIAA, NAB, Columbia-LP
• switchable Subsonic Filter 20 Hz
• triple boost circuitry to perfectly adapt the amp into existing equipment
• Obviously all individual adjustments are stored

Up to six cartridges (3 x balanced, 3 x unbalanced) may be connected to PPA V790 at the same time.

For each cartridge the input impedance, the input capacity, the EQ law, the subsonic filter and the output boost may be set individually. All this is done by clear denoted push buttons and displayed by white LEDs on the front panel. All settings are stored! The usual distinction between MM- and MC-cartridges in such amps was renounced.

Instead, beneath “standard” cartridges also “MC High-Output” or “MM Low Output” can be treated individually by the wide and open gain adjustment from +30 to +66 dB.

The gain stages inside Violectric PPA V790 are DC coupled with cascaded bi-polar superfast input transistors for highest bandwidth, extreme low noise, lowest distortions and highest dynamic range. Don´t expect any coloration from this amp! Gain may be set in 7 steps from +30 dB (factor 30) to +66 db (factor 2000). A clip indication is in charge to avoid incorrect operation.

PPA V790 offers three DC coupled EQs. Beneath the usual RIAA filter, NAB and Columbia-LP EQs may be selected for “exotic“ recordings. The filter accuracy is 0,1 dB.

A switchable subsonic filter helps to eliminate low frequency interferences.

The Boost circuitry with 0, +6 und +12 dB settings is intended to adapt Violectric PPA V790 into virtually any signal chain.
