About the Pre5
The Bel Canto Pre5 is a fully balanced analog preamplifier designed for audiophiles seeking purity, musicality, and tone. It features precision-based circuitry with ultra-low distortion (<0.002% at 1Vrms) and a wide dynamic range of 125dB A-weighted. The Pre5 offers one balanced XLR input and four RCA inputs, with independently buffered XLR and RCA outputs. It includes a programmable interface, a 36-button remote control, and an eight-character OLED display for user-friendly operation. The design emphasizes short signal paths, DC coupling to the output stage, solid-state switching, discrete high-current output buffers, multistage low-noise power supplies, and a large toroidal transformer. The unit is compact and robust, measuring 8.5" W x 12" D x 3.5" H and weighing 13 lbs. It supports worldwide power input (100-120VAC, 220-240VAC, 50/60 Hz) and uses a 3 ampere time-lag fuse. The Pre5 is made in the USA and is available in silver or black faceplate finishes.
