Built using AVID’s cascading approach, it inherits key technologies and components to deliver exceptional clarity, control, and musical realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a fully balanced preamplifier, the Celsus preserves the integrity of even the most delicate signals. With both XLR and RCA connectivity across inputs and outputs, it offers complete flexibility while allowing balanced sources—particularly phono cartridges—to perform at their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the Celsus integrates the award-winning Pulsare II phonostage, delivering ultra-low noise and distortion. Combined with relay-controlled signal switching and an ultra-clean signal path that remains on the main circuit board, the result is a highly transparent and dynamic listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully balanced preamplifier design for maximum signal integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDerived from AVID Reference Pre technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Pulsare II phonostage with ultra-low noise and distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR and RCA inputs and outputs for full system flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual cartridge support (simultaneous connection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono function for improved playback of mono recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubsonic filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelay-controlled signal switching for minimal signal degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALPS RK50 “Reference” volume control for exceptional precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal power supply for enhanced dynamics and control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnections:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 2 x XLR (balanced), 2 x RCA (line level), Phono input (XLR\/RCA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 2 x main outputs (XLR and RCA configurable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Fully balanced preamplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono stage: Integrated Pulsare II topology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: External with 500VA mains transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacitors: Custom AVID wound film capacitors with polypropylene dielectric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium AVID design with high-quality metalwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s Included:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAVID Celsus Pre Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: This product is available for in-store purchase and demonstration only.
