Since the market introduction
in 1995 the Black Cube phono stages by Lehmannaudio have become cult
objects for analog oriented music lovers. Countless positive reviews
and awards, and an unrivalled customer satisfaction worldwide document
this truly exceptional success.
The Black Cube is produced in small numbers and sonically superior
to mass industry products.
The Lehmannaudio Black Cube phono stage is compatible with practically
all available cartridges on the market from High Output MM to the lowest
output MC cartridges. Apart from the standard switch settings there
is one onboard slot that can be fitted with a custom impedance to supply
perfect termination even for the most exotic cartridges. Since 2006
there is a separate hard wire custom impedance slot that needs no DIP-switch
to be activated. Customisation possibilities are infinite. No more
need for expensive impedance plugs!
The newly developed input stages used in the Black Cube can also be
found in top notch mixing consoles or in well known professional microphone
preamps. The entirely passive RIAA equalization network is realized
with high precision MKP capacitors. All resistors are of the low noise
metal film variety. The switches for gain and load settings have gold
plated contects.
Because of the small outer dimensions the Black Cube can be placed
next to the turntable. This minimizes loss due to cable lengths. The
low noise regulated external power supply is connected permanently
to the audio section to minimize the number of contacts in the signal
path.
Lehmannaudio always pays special attention to details: the cable between
power supply and audio section is shielded. The cases of both the power
supply and the audio section are made of nonmagnetic materials and
the case of the audio section is even equipped with a top cover coated
with a special anti-resonance treatment.
