REVIEW & AWARDS Electrocompaniet EC 4.8 MKII/AW 800 M Pre/Power Amplifier - Read More "There are larger high-end power amps, and more than a few that are smaller, just as there are many that cost more. Yet, the sheer flexibility of the Electrocompaniet AW 800 M is hard to beat. Use it in stereo, then upgrade to mono if you wish, and add the partnering preamp for a big-hearted, refined sound. This system is an excellent buy, capable of a hugely entertaining listen with almost any music." - Andrew Everard Electrocompaniet EC 4.8 Preamplifier Review - Read More "Well, here I am again recommending a high-end audio product, but the EC 4.8 absolutely deserves it. It is, in fact, a high-value product that performs above its price range. It delivers very clean and very natural music with a voicing that mimics reality, mates well with a wide variety of products, and performs well with all types of music. Put it on your short list even if you have a lot more to spend." - Ed Momkus SPECIFICATIONS All measurements are made at 120V / 240V //50Hz / 60Hz Input impedance 47 Kohm Output impedance 100 ohm Max input +-15 Vp-p ( +- 30Vp-p Bal) Max output +-30 Vp-p ( +- 30Vp-p Bal) Minimum gain -111dB Maximum gain 6dB Noise Floor(0 dB gain) < -130 dB Frequency responce 1 – 200 kHz Channel Seperation > 120dB THD (1V in, 1V out)
