THE 249 PREAMPLIFIER A new dimension in audiophile control. Whether analog or digital, vinyl or streaming – the 249 brings out the best in every source. State-of-the-art technology is at work inside – intuitive to operate and embedded in a new design that combines clean lines with iconic value. The 249 stands for perfect balance: highly complex engineering meets purist elegance. Analog soul merges with digital precision – united in one masterpiece.
The 249 serves all purposes without compromising individual functionality, allowing maximum connectivity while retaining discrete analog technology.
Clearer and more stable sound from compact circuits
- Older components have been replaced with modern SMD chips, making mounting easier, more accurate, and more dense
- Circuit design has been streamlined by significantly shortening signal paths minimizing internal resistance and interference
- Ideal resistance and the lowest possible susceptibility to interference ensure precise and clean sound behavior
Next level amplification
- Three-stage, fully analog and complementary X-AMP 3 signal amplifier that features outstanding audio characteristics thanks to targeted compensation techniques
- Its very high linearity is almost completely independent of other operating factors, ensuring the highest fidelity
- All components used are within very narrow tolerance ranges, selected according to the highest standards, especially the transistors
Being in control
Two adaptive haptic rotary knobs for smooth and fast interaction • Not constrained by a defined function, both rotaries fully adapt to the context of available menu items • New haptic Reference Line 250 Remote Control in a simple, elegant design
