The Dual version is a true high-end Jolly Joker autoformer-based line control unit. It features both RCA and XLR input and output sockets, making it an ideal match for most audiophiles with both analogue (like vinyl) and digital sources (DAC, CD player). It offers remarkably precise volume adjustment capabilities, spanning 136 steps within an 83 dB range. The Dual has a fully passive analogue signal path between the RCA sockets and active, electronically balanced circuits between the XLR sockets.
The inclusion of the optional input buffer, coupled with the lower inductance autoformers, along with the finely adjustable volume control in increments of 0.5 dB and the tilt control, results in an astonishingly lifelike auditory experience.
Features:
Unprecedented 136 steps over an 83 dB attenuation range
0.5 dB steps from +3 dB to -47 dB with the buffer and 1 dB from -48 dB to -80 dB or without the buffer
Unbalanced operation between the RCA sockets, electronically balanced between the XLR sockets
1 RCA + 1 XLR input & 1 RCA + 1 XLR output
Improved linearity and transparency due to the new, lower inductance autoformer
The silver winded autoformers are our own production with 80% Ni core
Optional input buffer for the total source compatibility
FET switches for the autoformer taps' selection
Max. input level: 8V RMS (22.6 Vpp)
Balance, mute and standby mode
Optional tilt control (defeat-able) with 8x0.5 dB steps for fine-tuning the record and room acoustic imbalances
Remote-controlled output selector
Large (0.8") 3-digit white or orange display with 2 brightness and night mode
Apple remote-compatible IR remote controller
Optical encoder and touch button for the manual operations
