Each input of Zeus is separately configured in all parameters (MM/MC, input resistance/capacitance and gain) and stored in memory. This can be done thru the knob on the face plate and the display or via the remote control. The values for input resistance, capacitance and gain are selected via high quality signal relays.
Gold plated RCA and XLR connectors are implemented for the signal inputs/outputs.
An elegant remote control in aluminum case offers you control over all the functions of Zeus phono preamplifier. Input selection and parameter settings for each input.
Carefully selected values and types of the electronic components contribute to the reliable circuits operation and the high audio quality of the preamplifier. Mundorf Evo capacitors are used in the signal path in Zeus for high sound performance. The meticulous PCB design ensures excellent behavior in SNR, distortion and channel separation.
Inner signal wiring with high quality shielded signal cable. Power wiring uses high quality copper cables of more-than-needed AWG gauge, to achieve low impedance power transfer. All power cables are twisted in pairs to minimize the electromagnetic interference.
The handmade power transformer is thoroughly tested for quality and reliability. The positioning of the transformer is such that minimizes the magnetic interference with the sensitive circuits of Zeus. Furthermore the transformer has copper foil shielding.
