About the Emerald
The Emerald is a reference-grade stereo line-level preamplifier featuring fully balanced amplifier design with Van den Hul's proprietary accumulator simulation power supply (ASPS). The amplifier employs completely balanced DC-coupled circuitry with no overall negative feedback, cascaded input stages, and MOSFET output stages. It supports mixed-mode operation, allowing flexible combinations of balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs. The design incorporates 0.1% precision-selected components and 24-carat gold PCB connections. The external transformer housing isolates the power supply from the main unit. All functions are controlled via infrared remote with LCD status display showing input selection, level attenuation, and balance control. The robust steel chassis (6-10mm thick) minimizes spurious signals and magnetic induction. The Emerald is known for delivering natural, spacious sound reproduction with exceptional resolution and dynamics.
