About the MiniMax Pre
The Eastern Electric MiniMax Pre is a compact stereo tube preamplifier using a simple voltage-amplifier stage directly coupled to a cathode follower. Its valve complement comprises two 12AU7 tubes and one 6X4 rectifier. The unit provides three line-level RCA inputs and two pairs of RCA outputs, with no tape loop or headphone output. Published specifications include 20 dB gain, 10 Hz–150 kHz frequency response, 0.015% total harmonic distortion, 93 dB signal-to-noise ratio, 100 kΩ input impedance, 1.5 kΩ output impedance, and approximately 2 V output voltage. It measures about 316 × 145 × 115 mm and weighs approximately 4 kg. The accessible tube design permits tube rolling.
