Output Modules
The Octave Phono Module offers the option of installing or retrofitting various output modules.
The Octave Phono Module offers the option of installing or retrofitting various output modules.
The three different output modules are only available for the Octave Phono Module. Whether "Standard" or "Direct Drive", Cinch or XLR, each phono system can be adjusted to the individual needs and preferences of the listener using the outputs.
OUT 1: RCA standard
OUT 1 is a Cinch standard output module with double output 1 x fixed, 1 x variable. The adjustable output can be used for external headphone amplifiers or as a direct recording output for tape or PC. The unregulated output is intended for connection to high-level inputs of a pre-integrated amplifier.
| Output Voltage fixed / variable | 2 V / 0 - 2 V |
| Output Resistance fixed / variable | 250 Ohm |
| Signal-to-noise ratio | -120 dB, regulated output |
OUT 2: RCA Direct Drive
With the tube output module OUT 2 it is possible to directly control asymmetrical power amplifiers with the variable output. The fixed output is intended for connection to high level inputs.
| Output Voltage | 0.5 - 1 V fix / 0 - 7 V variable |
| Output Resistance | 250 Ohm fix / 320 Ohm variable |
| Signal-to-noise ratio | -100 dB Gain high / -110 dB Gain low regulated output |
| Frequency Response | 10 Hz - 200 kHz / -0.5 dB |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.001% at 2 V / 1 kHz |
OUT 3: XLR Direct Drive
With the tube output module OUT 3 it is possible to directly control symmetrical power amplifiers with the variable output. The fixed output is intended for connection to high level inputs.
| Output voltage | 0.5 - 1 V fix / 0 - 14 V variable |
| Output resistance | 250 Ohm fix / 320 Ohm variable |
| Signal-to-noise ratio | -100 dB Gain high / -110 dB Gain low, regulated output |
| Frequency response | 10 Hz - 200 kHz / -0.8 dB |
| Total harmonic distortion /THD + noise | 0.001% at 4 V / 1 kHz |
