Advance Paris X-P1200 Stereo Preamplifier

This design of the Advance Paris X-P1200 Stereo Preamplifier ensures better channel separation (crosstalk) and therefore a better stereo effect for your music.

Not only does the X-P1200 have independent preamplification circuits for the right channel and the left channel, but it is also at the level of their power supplies that were chosen to make them completely independent thanks to the use of two transformers.

The X-P1200 is equipped with:

• 9 analog inputs including 2 balanced XLR inputs,
• a USB B input (XMOS),
• 2 coaxial digital inputs and
• 2 digital inputs.

On the output side, you will have the choice between a balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA type output . Everything has been thought out to make this preamp the benchmark for the best audio systems: mains input with filtering by chokes and capacitors, two toroidal transformers with high current capacity, filtering made up of 4 12000uF / 150V capacitors.

Regulation is done by integrated circuits mounted on heat sinks. Concerning the switching of inputs and outputs, it is done by relay without loss of contact. The cinch inputs are balanced and de-balanced using quality Burr Brown operational amplifiers.

The processing of 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 an audio quality at the top. It is comprised 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 when combined with the X-A1200 mono unit it will create an exceptional HiFi system.
