Lehmann Audio Black Cube Statement Phono Stage
The Lehmann audio Black Cube Statement phono stage is compatible with practically all available cartridges on the market from high output MM to MC. Apart from the standard switch settings there is one onboard slot that can be fitted with a custom impedance to supply perfect termination even for the most exotic cartridges.
Amplification and RIAA equalisation for MM and MC cartridges
High end Burr Brown gain stage
Small size allows installation close to record player
Metal case shields the electronics from vibrational and electromagnetic interference
2x RCA input / 2x RCA output
The Black Cube Statement uses a double sided circuit board and comprises audiophile Burr Brown gain stages. The entirely passive RIAA equalization network is realized with high precision foil capacitors, for bass coupling even MKPs are used! Only Low ESR electrolytic caps are used throughout the circuit. All resistors are of the low noise metal film variety. The DIP-switches for gain and load settings have gold plated contacts. Power is provided through an external over dimensioned AC adaptor.
Lehmannaudio always pays special attention to details: the case of both the audio section is made of non-magnetic material (aluminium) and is equipped with a top cover coated with a special anti-resonance treatment.
Because of the small outer dimensions the Black Cube SE can be placed next to the turntable. This minimizes loss due to cable lengths.
