Affinity a2 - is a classic mic/ins. preamplifier. In it foundation is a huge amount of experience accumulated in the course of numerous experiments with tubes and their operation modes, transformers, passive components, assembly topology, as well as the analysis of many similar and famous old devices. The result is no non-linear distortion and warm, noble uncolored sound.
The preamp is built on 4 Soviet military tubes - 2 dual triodes (full of 6CC42/5670/6385 tubes) in the first cascade and 2 dual triodes (closest of ECC88/E88CC/6D8J/CCa/6922 tubes) in the second/third cascades. Russian (Soviet) military tubes made at the Svetlana plant have high quality long-life cathodes and demonstrate outstanding linear characteristics. All tube cascades are pure Class A with no feedbacks and cathode followers.The Affinity has a transformer-based balanced Low-Z mic/line input, unbalanced Hi-Z instrumental input and balanced output(s). An exellent microphone input shielded transformers have an impeccable reputation acquired after many years of service. The preamp output is outfitted with powerful toroidal transformers, which can be subjected to any active load with no harm to the sound or matching with other devices. These are proprietary transformers with a Hi-Mu core made of rare materials allowing for a minimum number of the turns in transformer coils, which favorably affects the sound.
