GUSTARD P26 LM49860 Preamplifier

GUSTARD P26 technical characteristics:

Because the DIP8 had been discontinued, the new batch LME49860 was changed to SO-8 version with op-amp socket.

***The P26 preamp uses the new remote control, please press and hold the AMP button for more than 3 seconds to enter the P26 preamp operation mode.

• Class A fully balanced design, the left and right channels are divided into regions, and the left and right separation is good;

• Native full balance architecture, from input to volume control to amplifier circuit, without any conversion, complete four-way architecture;

• Op amp + discrete hybrid architecture, which ensures circuit consistency and no lack of adjustability. Two in-line LM49860 dual op amps can be replaced to increase playability

• Discrete diamond-shaped differential output stage to easily drive various back-end loads;

• The volume of matrix relay is used to effectively ensure that the volume of 4 channels is consistent and unbiased;

• Adjustable input stage gain and output stage gain, easy to match different front and rear ends;

• It is with swappable opamps;

• Large OLED display + full-featured remote control operation, user-friendly design;

• Customized 50W audio dedicated toroidal transformer;

• All-aluminum alloy case, available in all silver and all black colors;
