Hera
Preamplifier MSRP $7,495
After more than three years of research and development,
Rogue Audio proudly introduces the Hera reference preamplifier.
The Hera’s
innovative and proprietary circuitry utilizes eight of the Russian
military’s 6H30P tubes in a balanced design that stretches
the bounds of modern preamplifier technology. And that technology
translates into amazing detail, smoothness and refinement which
in turn redefines the level of performance that can now be expected
from a preamplifier.
The
Hera is feature rich yet sacrifices nothing to sonic integrity.
Many of today’s high end designers make extensive use of microprocessors
and the digital domain to support features that detract from the
audio performance -- At Rogue Audio we eschew such technology. To
that end, we have designed a stepped attenuator that uses purely
resistive elements to derive more than 120 individual volume steps.
A miniature slipper clutch connects the attenuator to a motor that
can be remotely controlled. All switching is done via expensive silver
switches rather than being routed through a silicon chip. This state
of the art two box preamplifier Rogue’s circuitry. With
a remote control stepped attenuator, phase invert button, balance
bypass,
processor loop, unity gain bypass and a host of other features,
this preamp is targeted to set the benchmark in vacuum tube audio
technology.
Suggested retail price is $7,495.
