Vincent SA-32 Stereo Preamplifier

Following public demand for a relaunch of the popular SA-31, Vincent has responded with the brand new hybrid preamp, the SA-32.

Bigger, more powerful and sporting more features than it's predecessor, the SA-31 has been completely overhauled to create a quality hybrid stereo preamplifier worthy of including in your 2-channel Hi-Fi setup.

Key Features:
- Discrete Tube Processing
- High-Fidelity natural sound
- Tone & Gain Control
- Total of 6 inputs (5x RCA, 1x XLR)
- Total of 2 x RCA Pre-Outs, 2x Outputs
- Included remote control for easy input selection & volume control

Discrete Tubes
In comparison to its predecessor, four type-6N16 tubes are used in the SA-32 instead of two. The first two tubes are in the input section. Two more tubes sit in front of the output after the tone control. This results in the entire sound characteristic being more natural and precise. The relaunched switch provides better dynamics and more musicality to your source material.

Valve amplification is used in addition to transistor solid-state amplification to result in a pre-amp that sounds stupendously clear and is efficient in terms of power consumption.

Adjustable
The SA-32 has gain and tone-control options that allow you to make fine adjustments to the sound of your source material before it even hits the main amplifier. Control the amount of treble and bass with the dials on the front of the unit. Deactivating the Tone switch on the front of the unit bypasses the Bass & Treble EQ control, so you can choose to hear your source material with or without adjustments.

The loudness function on the SA-31 has been replaced by a gain attenuator. By pressing the switch, the preamp gain is decreased by 8dB. This makes the SA-32 compatible with power amps with a higher amplification factor without any issues.

Connection Options
The SA-32 features a huge amount of options when connecting Hi-Fi devices. With a total of 6 inputs and 4 outputs, this preamp enables almost endless connectivity options.

For your source devices, the SA-32 features 5 Stereo RCA inputs and a stereo set of balanced XLR inputs. That's up to 5 different source material devices you can connect, and with the XLR in, you can bring in audio from the Pre-Out of a separate unit if you wish.
With a stereo RCA and XLR out, you can connect the preamp straight into a power amplifier. Alternatively, by using either of the 2 stereo pre-outs on the device, you can connect to a separate unit and bypass the processing of this preamp completely.
