Line Stage Preamplifier
The Reference 6SE is our finest single chassis line stage preamplifier for good reason. Utilizing circuit and power supply elements derived from our two chassis flagship, the Reference 6SE squeezes as much quality and technology into a single chassis component as possible.
The Reference 6SE provides a new sonic landscape. Increasing the tube count,
with advancements in the power supply, improves both micro- and macro-
dynamics while lowering distortion. The refined design delivers a relaxed and
effortless musical presentation
with great transparency and speed. The power supply provides great bass weight
and control. Quite simply, the Reference 6SE delivers a more palpable and
immediate musical performance.
The Reference 6SE’s four single-ended RCA inputs and four balanced XLR inputs
assure connectivity with virtually every source. Two sets of RCA
and XLR outputs allow easy integration with multiple power amplifiers or
powered subwoofers. We’ve even included a pair of fixed level outputs for
those using a tape recorder or analog-to-digital converter. No matter how
extensive your audio system is, the Reference 6SE has you covered.
