Respect for your sources

The new X-P1200 preamplifier is the showcase of our know-how. Reference stereo preamplifier, it is in fact composed of two mono preamplifiers assembled in a single compartmentalized case to ensure complete isolation of the various circuits and preamplification stages.

This design provides better channel separation (crosstalk) and thus a better stereo effect.

Not only does your X-P1200 have independent preamplifier circuits for the right and left channels, but it is also at the level of their power supplies that we have chosen to make them totally independent thanks to the use of two transformers.

The X-P1200 is equipped with 9 analog inputs including 2 One balanced XLR, one USB B (XMOS) input, 2 coaxial digital inputs and 2 digital inputs. Output side, you will have the choice between a balanced XLR type output or unbalanced RCA type. Everything has been thought to make this preamp the reference for best audio systems: mains input with choke filtering and capacitors, two toroidal transformers with high current capacity, filtering composed of 4 capacitors 12000uF / 150V.

The regulation is done by integrated circuits mounted on heat sinks. Concerning the switching of the inputs and outputs, it is done by relay without loss of contact. The balancing of the cinch inputs and the desymmetrization is done with high quality operational amplifiers of the Burr Brown type.

The processing of the digital sources is entrusted to an Analog Device AD-1955 converter. This converter is particularly suitable for high end and SACD applications. The quality of the digital/analog decoding is of very high level with a signal to noise ratio of 123 dB and a top audio quality. It is composed of a multibit sigmadelta modulator, high performance digital interpolation filters, and continuous time differential current output DAC.

The playback of audio files from a PC or MAC computer is entrusted to XMOS, a reference solution in the field of quality audio reproduction.

Without a doubt, the X-P1200 will be associated with the X-A1200 mono unit for an exceptional hifi system.
