AUDIO ANALOGUE BELLINI VIRTUAL BATTERY REV 2.0

Pre owned. In excellent conditions. No visible signs of wear. Includes remote control, original packaging, and manual.

The Bellini presents itself as a high-end preamplifier from the Composers Slim line, featuring an elegant and refined design with the entire chassis and front panel crafted from high-quality anodized aluminum. At the center of the front panel is the volume control, surrounded by a series of green LEDs that gradually illuminate as the volume increases, creating a sophisticated visual effect. On the left side, the power switch and small round source selection buttons are intuitively placed for immediate and easy use.

Technically, the Bellini stands out for its innovative "virtual battery" power supply, which uses a series of large capacitors, similar to those in a power amplifier, to store energy and release it to the preamplifier circuit. This solution provides near-total immunity to electrical interference and noise, protecting delicate components while ensuring exceptional responsiveness and speed due to the immediate availability of energy.

The pre-phono section is another key feature: Audio Analogue has integrated the ARIA phono preamp directly into the Bellini and further improved it with adjustable jumpers, allowing all necessary calibrations without manually changing resistors, making the handling of both MM and MC signals simple and precise.

Connections include selectable inputs for line or phono, balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs, providing full flexibility for integration with other system components. The combination of top-tier components, advanced design, and the intrinsic value of the Audio Analogue brand makes the Bellini highly appealing even to demanding audiophiles, delivering a maximum output of 9 Vrms single-ended and 18 Vrms balanced, with extended bandwidth and crystal-clear musicality.
