The Threshold STASIS-R 5.0 is a high-end stereo control preamplifier featuring a fully balanced topology, direct-coupled, fully discrete solid-state circuitry, and comprehensive remote control of all operating functions. It uses an advanced digitally controlled rotary volume control offering an 80 dB range in fine steps, and provides both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs and outputs for flexible system integration. Designed as Threshold's flagship STASIS-R control preamp, it is built for very low noise, low distortion (typically around 0.02% at 1 kHz), a wide bandwidth (DC-100 kHz), and high reliability, with craftsmanship consistent with Threshold's U.S. manufacturing heritage.
