The Exposure Electronics 5510 Pre-Amplifier is a high-end, analogue stereo control preamplifier in Exposure’s 5510 series. It provides six line-level inputs, relay-switched volume control, and both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR outputs for connection to one or more power amplifiers. The design uses a low-noise power supply with a custom-wound, hum-shielded toroidal transformer. A single optional expansion module can be installed: an MM or MC phono stage, a DS Audio optical-cartridge phono stage, or a DAC module. The model is currently presented by Exposure and specialist dealers as an available product, so it is not considered discontinued.
