The Balanced Audio Technology VK-23SE is a two-channel, fully balanced solid-state preamplifier. Its design uses BAT’s single-stage Unistage topology, N-channel MOSFET gain circuitry, transformer-coupled outputs, and no global feedback. It has a programmable interface and a 140-step electronic shunt volume control with 0.5 dB increments. An optional VK-P20 solid-state phono module was available.
