Axiom II Passive Preamp XLR

The AXIOM II passive preamplifier is in a class by itself. This is a fixed series/variable shunt device. In layman's terms this means the audio signal does not actually flow through the volume control. The signal flows through one high quality resistor and the amplifier's inputs are shunted to ground via the AXIOM II'S ALPS potentiometer. The variable shunt technology allows control over the volume without the signal flowing through the actual volume pot that most audiophiles know is the weakest link in most preamp circuits. The degree in which the pot "allows" signal into the amplifier is simply what allows the customer control over his/her volume. A large part of the magic of the little AXIOM II is its single input. We use no switching network whatsoever in the standard version. A multi-in version is available upon request. Most critical listening is done on CD playback so why not shoot for the ultimate in clarity. We have chosen to use very high quality parts in the AXION II given i
