Description

The CPA5000 builds on the already advanced CPA4000 with the latest Ultra High Frequency power supply and ultra low noise circuitry giving an amazing noise floor performance below -130dB. It also utilises solid milled aluminium shielding to prevent RF interference.

The functionality has been expanded to include:-

Four pairs of fully balanced XLR style inputs, four pairs of RCA style unbalanced inputs including two completely independant tape/recording loops.

Highly accurate visually stunning VU meters have been incorporated into the front panel display giving both clear signal detection and level. Naturally these may be selected or disabled as required.

A pair of AV Bypass inputs that are fully balanced to allow direct connection to an AV processor at full signal level.

Two low distortion, low noise headphone outputs.
