About the Pulsus
The AVID Pulsus Phono Stage is engineered from first principles to deliver exceptional audio fidelity with an unbalanced design that maintains very low distortion and noise across the audio spectrum. It supports three selectable gain settings (48dB for MM, 60dB for MC Low, and 70dB for MC High) to ensure compatibility with a wide range of cartridges. The unit offers adjustable resistance and capacitance loading via switches on the underside, allowing precise matching to cartridge specifications. It employs a passive RIAA equalization circuit with Neumann HF correction and high-end capacitors for accurate sound reproduction. An external 35VA regulated power supply minimizes noise and interference, enhancing performance. The Pulsus is hand-assembled with military-grade specifications and features gold-plated RCA inputs and outputs. Its compact dimensions and low noise floor make it suitable for discerning audiophiles seeking detailed, transparent vinyl playback.
