The Ayre Acoustics KX-8 Variable Gain Preamplifier is one of our most anticipated products to date. Featuring our newly-developed, continuously-variable-gain volume circuit, we are able to achieve incredible resolution, and detail; reminiscent of our highest grade preamplifier designs throughout the years, now with a smooth continuous action. With the ability to run strictly analog, or fully loaded with the same premium quality analog to digital conversion found in our QX-8 DAC, and optional USB and Ethernet inputs, the KX-8 Variable Gain Preamplifier can solve any systems needs.
