The Spatial Audio Lab Raven Preamplifier is part of the Revelation series, integrating Western Electric technology into a modern design. It is transformer-coupled throughout, ensuring balanced operation for minimal distortion. The preamp uses ultra-low noise power supplies for both high voltage and heater supplies. It features a Khozmo dual-mono volume control with remote control, allowing for precise adjustments without needing to physically access the unit. The Raven includes both RCA and XLR inputs and outputs, with the RCA inputs converted to balanced via a studio-quality transformer. It is designed to drive high impedance loads with ease, making it suitable for a variety of amplifier setups.
