Primare PRE30

The PRE30 is an uncompromising preamplifier with direct-coupled, fully symmetrical and discrete Class A circuits.

The input stage uses cascaded “fold back” J-FET transistors for unrivaled transient speed.

All stages are current-loaded and the current source is thermally compensated. This avoids the need for DC servos. The output stage consists of Mos-FET transistors.
