Lehmann audio has developed a completely
new audio board for the legendary Black Cube
phono stage.
When Norbert Lehmann, audio engineer
and owner of Lehmann audio entered the
market in summer 1995 with the Black
Cube phono stage, no one could foresee the tremendous success of this rather plain
looking product.
Audio magazines and thousands of customers
worldwide appreciate the outstanding
audio performance. The Black Cube
has been recognized as a benchmark product
in its price class and beyond. It received
numerous awards and reached
unrivalled customer satisfaction.
Now there is a new Black Cube 2006! Norbert
Lehmann has designed a totally new
audio board. Experiences and customers
wishes of the last ten years have contributed to the design.
The new audio board version uses roughly
the same circuitry. Parts have been improved
substantially and some useful features
have been added
Details:
- All MKS capacitors (passive RIAA-filter and output) are replaced by MKPs which have only a fraction of the loss inherent with MKS caps.
- New input stages, chosen for their plus of transparency and airiness.
- Chokes in the power supply lines of the audio section for even cleaner supply voltages
- Dual mono output stages
- With a High Gain jumper the Black Cube can be better optimized for mid-output MCs.
- The new, higher maximum gain of up to 66dB optimizes the handling of cartridges with a very low output level.
- An additional hard wire slot supplies even more possibilities for special impedances and custom loads.
- A soft Soft-Bass-Rolloff jumper (6dB/Oct. @ 60Hz) protects woofers.
- DC Jumper to bridge MKP output capacitors (caution: use only if the following input stage has a DC-Filter!)
- detachable power supply with Neutrik XLR connectors even at the BLack Cube standard for easier upgrade to the Black Cube SE without soldering
