Multichannel preamplifier

[scorpio]

Not quite a pre, but they have a 6-channel volume control for the Behringer here: http://www.selectronic.fr/dcx2496_us.asp

Go about 4/5th down the page for info. Ordering via this web site is a little of a pain but very reliable in the end. (no affiliation whatosever)

You could use any recent AV processor. These usually have six RCA inputs and a mode that sends these straight to outputs after the volume control. This is needed for multi channel SACD, DVD-A. One less expensive model that I'm aware of is the Sherwood AVP9080R. Usually $300-$500 used.

Yes i have thought of AV recievers with Pre inn/out. But there is not a great used market for them in Norway. They mostly go to friends kids etc. Exeption is the more expensive ones wich is not an option since it's just supposed to be a temporary solution.

If anyone have a cheap AV reciever (230v) the want to get rid of, let me know

Have you considered the Denon DN-A7100? I'm very happy with mine. 7.1 channel, XLR outs, rackmount. What's your definition of "cheap"?

That would indeed be the perfect product, but retail price is to high.


By cheap i mean like $200-$300

scorpio's solution is in your price range.
The only drawback is that is uses unbalanced inputs/outputs.

The other solution is to build a passive relay attenuator, like this one:

here is the theorie:

you need twice as much channels for fully balanced connections

[timc]

POS. That looks perfect. Ill save up for a 4channel version of that one. Balanced is not needed at this point.


Thanks for all the help folks.

That Denon looks nice, and it seems to be about $700 cheaper than it's competition. I'm wondering what the catch is, while I'm thinking of getting one.

Any idea how this Denon compares to the various HK Citations ? I've been wondering about those for some time now. I'd like to get away from an AV receiver and be able to use separate amps. Just not sure it's worth the trouble....
