QR Code Link to This Post
From the website.
Freya+ F is a true high-end, balanced, remote-control preamp. Switch between passive, differential buffer, and differential tube gain modes, and enjoy the fine control of a 128-step relay-switched stepped attenuator volume control with perfect channel matching.
Whisper-Silent Tube Stage—With Tube Shutdown
Now, you can enjoy a tube preamp without the hiss and hum of classic designs. Freya+ offers super-quiet tube modes with DC heaters and semi-circlotron, noise-cancelling output stages. Better yet, the tubes turn off when you’re not using them! That’s right, both the tube heater and high voltage rails go away when not in use, so you can preserve lifetime of costly tubes.
The Ultimate Volume Control
The benefits of a relay-switched stepped attenuator for volume are clear. Compared to a potentiometer, they give you essentially perfect channel matching and near-unmeasurable distortion. However, some preamps with relay-stepped attenuators confuse you with buttons and screens. Not Freya+. Freya+ has a volume knob that works just like a volume knob—just grab and turn.
Designed and Built in the USA
By “designed and built in the USA" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Freya+ F—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis, transformers, PCBs, and assembly are all from California, and all Freyas come together in our San Antonio, Texas production facility.
