{"product_id":"lehmann-audio-decade","title":"Lehmann Audio Decade","description":"Lehmannaudio has built a reputation and\nunrivalled customer satisfaction on the sound\nand build quality of its phono stages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ambitious Black Cube Decade effectively\nfills the gap between the Black Cube SE and\nthe Lehmannaudio reference phono stage, the\nSilver Cube. In the Black Cube Decade , like\nin all Lehmannaudio devices, top notch technology\nis used that normally can be found only\nin price ranges far above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe input stages of the Black Cube Decade\ncan also be found in top notch mixing consoles\nand high class microphone preamps of professional\nstudio electronics. The highly accurate,\npassive RIAA equalisation network is placed\nbetween two linear gain stages and uses precision\nMKP capacitors. This results in a very\nstable soundstage reproduction and pin point\nlocalisation of instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe maximum gain of 66dB is well enough for\neven very exotic low output MC cartridges. Impedance\nload adaption is practically infinite as\nwith all Lehmannaudio phono stages: there is\na free slot for a custom impedance so that every\nexisting MC cartridge on the market can be\nloaded properly. Input capacitances are adjustable\nas well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Black Cube Decade offers a Soft-Bass-\nRolloff-Filter and gain selections accessible via\ntoggle switches at the face plate. Both, gain\nand filter functions, are executed by studio\ngrade relays inside the unit.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Black Cube Decade is powered by the\nPWX II, a power supply especially developed\nfor the unit which is downward compatible with\nthe PWX. This means that Black Cube audio\nsections can also be connected. The second\npower outlet at the PWX II is made especially\nfor that purpose. The PWX II power supply\nwith chokes at critical places powers the Black\nCube Decade with very clean DC power and\n- like the Silver Cube - is connected to the audio\nsection via a shielded cable with Neutrik\nplugs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e \n- The input stages used in the Black Cube Decade\ncan also be found in top notch mixing consoles or\nin well known professional microphone preamplifiers.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The passive filter network between two linear gain\nstages realized with high precision MKP caps (Epcos)\u003cbr\u003e\n- Several resistive and capacitive loads as standard\u003cbr\u003e\n- Front switchable gain (36dB - 66dB) and Soft-\nBass-Rollof (6dB\/oct. 60Hz)\u003cbr\u003e\n- Onboard slot for custom impedance\u003cbr\u003e\n- Zero global feedback Class A output stage technically\nidentical with the highly acclaimed Black Cube\nLinear.\u003cbr\u003e\n- LCL Pi-filter in the power supply section of the audio\nboard for optimal suppression of radio frequent\nintermissions\u003cbr\u003e\n- High quality gold plated pcb mount RCA connectors\nfor audio.\u003cbr\u003e\n- High quality double sided printed circuit board for\noptimal signal routing and component placing.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Neutrik connector with gold plated contacts for\nsupply connection (as with the Silver Cube)\u003cbr\u003e\n- Face plate anodized aluminium either black or silver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures PWX II (power supply):\u003cbr\u003e\n- 30 VA toroidal transformer of the PWX II power\nsupply is a key component for the sonic performance\nachieved with the Black Cube Decade. This\ntransformer is not only overdimensioned but sports\na grounded isolation coil between the primary and\nsecondary coil.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Only Low-ESR electrolytic capacitors are used\u003cbr\u003e\n- Neutrik connectors with gold plated contacts for\nsupply connection (as with the Silver Cube).\u003cbr\u003e\n- Chokes before and after the voltage regulation\u003cbr\u003e\n- Downward compatible with PWX: Black Cube SE\naudio sections can be connected. Black Cube standard\nversions can be upgraded with an XLR plug.\u003cbr\u003e\n- High quality double sided printed circuit board for\noptimal signal routing and component placing.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Double sided board for optimum parts placement\nand trace routing\u003cbr\u003e\n- Face plate anodized aluminium either black or silver.","brand":"Lehmann Audio","offers":[{"title":"Silver Faceplate","offer_id":57408195035468,"sku":"LEHMANNDECADES","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Faceplate","offer_id":57417755165004,"sku":"LEHMANNDECADEB","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chrome","offer_id":57417755197772,"sku":"LEHMANNAUDIODECADE-CHROME","price":1416.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/lehmann_decade.jpg?v=1777465200","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/lehmann-audio-decade","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
