Description from the seller
The Accuphase C-2400 is a precision stereo preamplifier featuring the revolutionary AAVA (Accuphase Analog Vari-gain Amplifier) volume control. This dual-monaural design ensures total separation between stereo channels with independent power transformers and smoothing capacitors. [1, 2, 3]
## Core Specifications
* Volume Control: Revolutionary AAVA type for high signal-to-noise ratio and low distortion.
* Gain Selection: Adjustable to 12 dB, 18 dB, or 24 dB via a rear-panel switch.
* Signal-to-Noise Ratio (at rated output):
* Balanced/Unbalanced: 111 dB (EIA: 108 dB).
* AD (MM 30 dB): 95 dB.
* AD (MC 62 dB): 80 dB.
* Maximum Output Level: 7.0 V (Balanced/Unbalanced).
* Frequency Response: Standard high-level inputs provide a flat response, while the optional phono stage (AD-2800) follows RIAA characteristics.
* Tone Controls: Summing active filters.
* Bass: ±10 dB at 50 Hz (300 Hz turnover).
* Treble: ±10 dB at 20 kHz (3 kHz turnover). [1, 4, 5, 6]
## Inputs and Outputs
* Connectors: Versatile array of both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs and outputs.
* EXT PRE Function: Allows connection and switching to an external preamplifier.
* Headphone Jack: Includes a dedicated headphone amplifier optimized for sound quality. [1, 4, 6, 7, 8]
## Physical Dimensions
* Width: 465 mm (18-3/8”).
* Height: 150 mm (5-7/8”).
* Depth: 403 mm (15-7/8”); 412 mm with AD-2800 installed.
* Weight: 17.6 kg (38.8 lbs) net; 18.5 kg with phono unit installed. [1, 4, 11, 12]
