About This Model

The Quad 44 is a preamplifier built around a fully modular input configuration, offering five inputs - Disc, Tape 1, Tape 2, Radio, and Auxiliary - with interchangeable modules that allow configurations including moving coil pickup or microphone inputs. Rather than conventional bass and treble controls, it features an unconventional tone control section with variable slope low-pass filtering and filter/tone cancel, reflecting the measured, engineering-led approach Quad brought to its 1980s designs. Total harmonic distortion is rated at 0.05%, with a frequency response of 30Hz to 20kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 86dB on line inputs. The preamplifier's CMOS switching technology and modular architecture also make it straightforward to service and upgrade - an enduring practical advantage of the design.

A great opportunity to own a Quad 44 at this price point.
