The Prestige range is the state of the art in the best of breed approach from Art & Technologie. Here, more than anywhere else in our electronics, do apply our tagline. Intense musical fidelity. We pushed all frontiers to have the room we needed to have our design breathe, respect and transmit the music, which is delivered to it. As a technical note, we took the state of the art from solid-state transistors AND from tubes/valves and we use them seamlessly where each of these are at their best.
Preamplifier
The preamplifier is one of our highest prides. It is proposed with 2 options, as your use may require. The Standard version, or the Subwoofer version, which is able to drive a sub (XLR or Cinch) with in-built filter options.
Sound
We truly believe that our Prestige passive preamplifier is one of the best ever built. Its transparency is out of belief. Dynamics, bandwidth, airing among other characteristics are so highly grown that your source, cables and speakers will be intensively solicited to their best.
Live experience is a vivid basis, and the Prestige range is closest to Absolute than anything else.
Technical information / the designer’s word
ART & TECHNOLOGIE continues its research and now proposes its brand new preamplifier for the Prestige range.
Its commuted resistors design and its fully Single-End discrete buffer allows to obtain a really more natural restitution, through a transparency and dynamic never reached at present times. Its multiple power-supplies are fully independent and are set in an external cabinet, for a better magnetic isolation. All these enhancements participate in Prestige preamplifier deep analysis distinctly felt from the very first notes played.
Thanks to its modular design, the amplifier can be equipped with 2 or 3 channels with a subwoofer.
Its remote control, aside its comfortable ergonomics, will allow you to put your Prestige mono Class A amplifier in Stand-By mode. You will immediately reach this way its highest level of musicality, with no warm up.
