The basic Makua is an extremely transparent gain stage and a programmable routing matrix. The chassis has ample room to fit optional extras, most notably a DAC and a phono stage. The 6 preset buttons are programmable via RS232 or Bluetooth to access any combination of channel, processing and routing. In a system with mainly digital sources, the preset buttons would be programmed to select between them. Vinyl lovers on the other hand might want to use several buttons to select the same turntable but with different EQ settings to suit their large collection of historic LP's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll five inputs are switchable between XLR and floating RCA connections, and all can be assigned as either phono or line. All stages in the Makua use discrete amplifier modules in a little known topology called \"single-ended driven differential\". Compared to doubly executed signal paths, this structure prevents noise from propagating all the way through. The Makua is amazingly immune to influences like mains quality and choice of interlinks. The relay-based volume control directly controls the gain of the output stage. Dynamic range and linearity of this arrangement is much greater than those of stepped attenuators. Operation is smooth and entirely glitch free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI\/O\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 balanced and 5 unbalanced inputs, selectable by switch and software\u003cbr\u003e2 parallel balanced outputs for bi-amping (XLR)\u003cbr\u003eMastering mode\u003cbr\u003e4 programmable trigger outputs (3.5mm Jack)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll inputs routable through optional processor boards like the phono stage\u003cbr\u003eProcessing balance and input gain offset\u003cbr\u003ePhase invert and mono sum\u003cbr\u003eFull software control of routing and processing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePERFORMANCE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaximum input\/output level: 20dBu (7.75Vrms)\u003cbr\u003eUnweighted noise voltage at unity gain: 1.9uV\u003cbr\u003eInput impedance: 100kohm\u003cbr\u003eOutput impedance: 44ohm\u003cbr\u003eDistortion at maximum signal level (THD, IMD): not measurable, estimated around -150dB\u003cbr\u003eBandwidth \u0026gt;200kHz\u003cbr\u003eGain range: -70dB to +15dB\u003cbr\u003eGain resolution: \u0026lt;1dB, better than 0.2dB over normal listening range\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTROL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6 programmable presets\u003cbr\u003e(premium) Remote control\u003cbr\u003eMola Mola Remote app\u003cbr\u003eRS232 (SUB-D)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eADD-ON\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca\u003eMola Mola Phono stage\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca\u003eMola Mola DAC\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e420mm (W) x 110mm (H) x 345mm (D).
