Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom New Pre-amps, Integrated Amps, Integrated Zone Amp

In the earlier thread on a new look for our amps I mentioned the coming Pre-amp, Integrated Amps, Zone Amps, and Zone Pre-amps. All the input on the look was greatly appreciated and in the pictures below we have incorporated your thoughts into the current sample. As for the new products themselves here is a list of what will be available shortly:

Pre-amps:
The entry level pre-amp will be a 2 channel pre-amp with three inputs selectable from a front switch. The front panel will also have a balance control and a volume control. All the ins and outs will be RCA. Our working name for this model is the P-1000 Pre-amp.

The step-up pre-amp will be a 2-channel pre-amp with five inputs selectable from a front switch. The front panel will also have the balance control and the volume control. Two of the inputs will be balanced XLR in and three will be RCA. The outputs will be both RCA and XLR. Our working name for this model is the P-1500 Pre-amp.

Both of these pre-amps will be available as options for the LFR series of omnidirectional speakers with the DSP built in and outputs for both the front and rear channels.


Integrated Amps:
All of our ADA-1000 series amps will be available with the pre-amp built in and the three position input selector switch on the front. Our working name for these is IA-1000 series.
The IA-1000-4 is currently available as an option in “Customize Yours” for our omnidirectional speakers with the DSP built in.





Zone Amps:
Also built on our ADA-1000 platform will be a series of integrated Zone Amps. They will be available in four-channel, six-channel and eight-channel with individual volume controls for each pair of channels and a Master volume control. They have three inputs selectable from a switch on the front panel. There is also an individual input for each pair of channels that can be selected from toggle switches on the front panel if you would like to use a different input for that pair of channels. Our working name for these is ZA-1000 series.




Zone Pre-amps:
The Zone Pre-amps will be the same versions as the integrated zone amps except with RCA outputs to go to a separate amplifier. This will be useful for pairing with one of our larger powered amplifiers; either the ADA-1250 or ADA-1500. Our working name for these is the ZP-1000 series.

Very nice. I may need one of those zone amps.

Very nice. Charles may need one of those zone amps.

Where's the guppies?

Since your going all 1970's on us with the wood look, where are the tube amps?

There will still be the black brushed aluminium front panels available.

Those are real purdy.

Nice. Will the pre-amps include a phono input (followed by the inevitable MM/MC question) or should we plan for a separate phono preamp ?

Yes, we plan on making options available over time. This is the base model and then we will make the options available through “Customize Yours”. Things like our wireless platform and phono pre-amp inputs for both MM and MC are for sure; beyond that we will see what options our customers are requesting.

What about DACs?
