(4.5 kg) Design Features The Bel Canto PRe3 represents a power- ful statement in high performance audio control preamplifiers. Its superb audio performance and transparency renders it a modern standard in control preamplifi- er design: • All analog, low noise, low distortion architecture for controlling up to six (6) 2-channel inputs including 1 balanced input • Fully balanced XLR outputs for optimum interface to the power amplifier • 4-layer PC board design for superior signal routing, grounding and power supply routing • Latest generation of low-noise, low-dis- tortion high speed audio buffers, level controls and output drivers provide superb measured and subjective audio quality • Independent digital and analog trans- formers and multi-stage power supplies for precise power to the sensitive analog circuitry • Precision audio grade resistors and no capacitors in the audio signal path • Ultra low noise second stage regulation for the analog amplifier sections • Home Theater Bypass mode on Input 5 • Digitally controlled analog volume control for optimum signal archi- tecture • New Single-Knob user interface pro- vides simple, intuitive control function The Bel Canto Design PRe3 preamp is a marvelous feat of engineering at a price that will fit most audiophiles’ budget. As a matter of fact, since I didn’t have to take out a second mortgage to afford it and didn’t end up with debt up to my eyeballs I decided to purchase the demo unit to use as my reference preamplifier. I am also so overjoyed by the musical performance of the PRe3 that I feel compelled to recognize it for our publication’s highest accolade, the Most Wanted Component Award!
