Plinius RM-10

RM-10 marks the flagship electronic designs and the highest level build quality of stereo preamplifier housed in a new aesthetic design.

The RM-10 will be closely followed by Class A Power Amplifiers RA-300 and RA-125.

Key features of the new RM-10 Stereo Preamplifier:

New Discrete Circuit Design using only discrete components for lowest possible noise and distortion figures.

Analogue Balance Control for accurate adjustment of the audio level.

High Performance HT Bypass eliminates additional balanced/single ended signal processing and passes the signal through the high quality line amplifier stage.

Adjustable Line Stage Gain allows the adjustment of either the standard 12dB gain or a lower noise 0dB gain setting.

Dual Mono Configuration ie. a dedicated transformer and power supply for each of the left and right channels allows complete isolation of the signals and importantly the ground reference paths.


Specifications:

Line Inputs: 3 x XLR/RCA selectable, 3 x dedicated RCA
HT Bypass: 1 x XLR/RCA selectable
Line Outputs: 2 x XLR/RCA
Connectivity: 1 x Trigger In, 2 x Trigger Out, 1 x RC5 In

ALLEGRO delivers the superiority and authority of a linear class AB amplifier - even in demanding applications. It features high current capability and operating speed not to be found in IC-amplifiers aka “gain-clone” or any class D design. Clever construction techniques enabled us to build an amplifier with high packing density, consequently making the signal and power paths extremely short. So, don’t be fooled by the tender look – it is part of the concept to get big sound. In fact, creating circuits with unrivalled speed and response time is amongst other things a matter of physical closeness of electronic parts. The higher the frequency, the more it is important to reduce every millimeter of board trace.


Lateral MOSFET output stage

The transistor originally developed by Hitachi in 1977 is probably the only semiconductor power device solely made for audio use. Famous for its tube like characteristic and perfect bias stability under any load conditions, the ALLEGRO uses just a single pair of tandem devices in the output stage in the so called “common source” arrangement.


Balanced signal path

Almost any LINNENBERG (past / future) product features true balanced circuits and connectivity. Historically, this may have a reason in our roots lying in professional audio. ALLEGRO is no exception: here, the circuit composes of a very low noise instrumentation amplifier such as used in high-precision measuring equipment. This approach ensures perfectly matched input conditions for the positive and negative signals and thereby allows the realization of high-performance balanced signal transmission.


Ultra wide band design

The high quiescent current design of all preamp and driver stages enables a core speed close to 1MHz, slowed down only by input and output filtering to match real word requirements. With filters in place, the small signal as well as full power bandwidth (!) measures an impressive 350 kHz. The lower frequency limit is around 0.3 Hz. No coupling capacitors are used throughout.


Inherently low noise

High resolution audio is intrinsically tied to low noise and distortion. System noise is the lower resolution limit of any analog systems, because it determines the smallest signal not masked by a noise floor. Hence, low noise levels are desirable. A-weighted output noise measures 25μV for the ALLEGRO giving a SNR of 120dB or an equivalent to 20 bit. 20 to 21 bits analog resolution is the realistic limit, restricted by the laws of physics (e.g., thermal white resistor noise).


Miscellaneous

The power supply consists of a 230VA toroidal mains transformer and a total of 60.000μF energy storage capacitors, enabling a stable output of 55W/90W at 8Ω/4Ω. Precision regulated supply voltages for preamp and driver stages. Microprocessor controlled – non intrusive protection circuits against over current, DC-offset or over temperature.

Danish Audio Design XL Phono Stage & XL Power Supply

We are proud to present our XL Phono Stage and our XL Power Supply.

Many claim that they make the worlds best high-end gear. We don’t, we just do it.

For a number of years people have asked me if I would create a crazy phono stage for them, on the basis of what I know and how I create products. There’s a huge variety of phono stages on the market, so I’ve not been inspired to create another one. But then people have been pushing me to do one, and then suddenly a piece of wild high-end gear is born.

This product is constructed in a way that it can always be upgraded if the need arises, without costing a small fortune. Everything is analog and the design reflects this as well, with a different look than our other products.

The phono stage is a dual mono version with the best transformers available and the best paper in oil capacitors in the world. The power supply offers no less than 560.000 uf and it uses the fastest capacitors available anywhere.

A lot have gone into making sure these units delivers music in the fastest way possible. There is just as many components under our board as above it, with a lot of customization options for pick-ups.
