Overview
The new Belles LA-01 Remote Controlled Line Stage Solid State Preamplifier features state of the art performance. The LA-01 achieves its ultimate in musical performance by keeping the signal path as simple and direct as possible. In order to accomplish this, it uses a totally minimalist design approach. No tape loop, tape outputs, home cinema bypass or any other interface to contaminate the signal path. This preamplifier is strictly a dedicated stereo pre-amplifier of the highest calibre, for those wishing to immerse themselves inside the envelope of 'pure musical connection'.
The LA-01 uses a ultra high quality separate power supply, housed in an dedicated enclosure that is perfect match to the preamplifier structure. The power supply is balanced design withs four stages of decoupling to totally isolate it from the incoming mains power line, making it seem like a battery powered unit. The serious materials used in the LA-01 aids in providing a rigid structure to eliminate mechanical feedback vibrations. For, example the top and button covers are constructed from 6mm thick aluminium. The side and rear panels are 9mm thick aluminium and the front panel is 14mm aluminium. The enclosure is decoupled from its mounting surface with four custom STILLPOINT feet
The LA-01 has four unbalanced stereo line inputs and two main stereo unbalanced outputs. The line stage has an ultra low distortion high input impedance direct-coupled amplifier with zero output impedance. The output stage features power mosfets which can drive the power amplifier hard to produce incredibly dynamic and realistic sound.
The Belles LA-01 preamplifier reproduces every detail of the music with clarity openness and a sweetness that has not been heard in this guise and price point before.
