This allows tri-amplification of a speaker set, while the unbalanced outputs will still switch to control a remote amplifier. VRV (VARIABLE RATE VOLUME) DIGITALLY CONTROLLED ATTENUATOR The output attenuator controls volume over 214 steps of .5dB each with accuracy within .1dB. The volume versus rotation rate varies as preamplifier gain varies and attenuation changes occur at the zero crossings of the audio signal to prevent audible artifacts during adjustment. ELECTROMAGNETIC SWITCHING Signal routing is accomplished through digitally controlled electromagnetic switching devices. Precision switch contacts, isolated from environmental contamination inside inert gas-filled tubes, provide the most reliable, quietest and lowest distortion switching possible. PHONO SECTION FLEXIBILITY Moving Magnet has adjustable capacitance from the remote to allow flexibility in matching your favorite turntable. Moving Coil offers adjustable resistance also from the remote control for the same flexibility.
