Its tone-shaping toolkit is distinctive: a Tilt control uses an 8-pole filter to rotate the frequency response around an 800Hz axis, allowing the overall tonal balance to be shifted warmer or cooler, complemented by Bass Lift\/Step controls and switchable HF filtering at 10kHz and 7kHz. The phono stage accepts plugin modules for MC and MM cartridges with variable loading options. Throughout the signal path, polarity is never inverted, keeping the output non-inverting from input to output. Interchannel balance is held to ±0.5dB across the entire volume range - an exceptionally tight specification. The unit runs on low supply rails and draws around 2.75 Watts, making it an unusually efficient and compact preamp at 321 × 64 × 207mm and 3.2kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA great opportunity to own a Quad 34 at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55153819484497,"sku":null,"price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/6913\/0833\/files\/59438635-2d39-4464-bbcf-9b151470b1de.jpg?v=1790939175","url":"https:\/\/www.audiotrader.co.uk\/products\/quad-34-preamp-excellent","provider":"Audio Trader","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
