Description

The Wright Audio Royale Stereo Amplifier Set Creator of Fine Stereo Equipment for the Discriminating Listener Since 1989 The Wright Audio LT-6P Tube Preamplifier and SE Power Amplifier are electrically and sonically matched for guaranteed quality results. Although the LT-6P Preamplifier is available separately in another listing, the Royale SE Power Amplifier is available only with the preamplifier as a matched set. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS. _____________________ LT-6P Preamplifier Audio signals at the source components are at their most delicate. It's at this earliest stage where tube-type pre-amplification seems to best preserve the signal's integrity. The Wright Audio LT-6P not only maintains signal integrity but also allows for Bass and Treble adjustment due to the wide variety of tonal balances in today's digital and internet sources as well as the past's analog vinyl recordings. The Bass and Treble Controls in this preamplifier are passive. Other than the controls themselves and very few associated passive parts, there are no other devices in the signal path. This approach is unlike the traditional 'active' feedback-type controls which require an additional amplification stage in the signal path with its associated distortions which have given some audiophiles reason to dislike these controls. The passive controls allow the tubes to operate in an improved, better-sounding gain range. This preamplifier actually sounds better than many which do not have them. The preamplifier uses a vacuum tube, filtered power supply operating at less than one-sixth of its capacity to maintain the purity of the signal. There are no solid-state devices in the preamplifier with the exception of the tube heaters' power supply. Also, there are no circuit boards which allows for the possibility of circuit and parts upgrades in the future with relative ease. The capabilities of handling up to six inputs, two fixed-level outputs and two independently powered and isolated variable outputs provides maximum versatility for any installation. Yet installing and using the preamplifier is completely intuitive. With no illuminated displays requiring power, the front panel settings are visible from a few feet away even with the power off. The LT-6P Stereo Tube Preamplifier offers the dynamics, sound dimensionality, nuance and clarity which make listening to music the indescribable joy it should be, especially when paired with the Royale SE Power Amplifier. Features and Specifications Controls: Source Selector (CD, Tuner, Video, Line 1, Line 2, Line 3) Fixed Level Output Switch Main Stereo Volume Control Separate Left and Right Channel Volume Level Preset Controls enables channel balance. Bass, Treble Controls Preamplifier accommodates any line-level device with an analog audio output except Phono. Six inputs. Passive Fixed Level Output Switch selects between two outputs for use with a stand-alone headphone amplifier, any type of wireless transmitter, recording device or similar. 'Off' position isolates connected devices from each other and the preamplifier. Preamplifier need not be powered on for this feature. Two electrically isolated, but identical outputs for driving the power amplifier, a subwoofer system or other device. Drives up to about 50 feet of low-capacitance cable. Individually-mounted, high quality RCA input and output jacks. Tube complement: (2) ECC83 / 12AX7; (2) ECC81 / 12AT7; (1) GZ34 / 5AR4 rectifier. Clear gray acrylic tube shields. Heavy, one-eighth inch and .090 black hard-anodized aluminum panel construction, with solid, dark oak side panels. Overall Size: 17 1/2 W x 7 1/2 H x 13 1/2 D inches. Allow two inches above unit for heat dissipation. Vibration isolation feet. Net Weight: 15 lbs. THREE YEAR WARRANTY For 120 Volts AC. Detachable power cable. Designed and assembled in the United States using U.S. and Global components. The Royale SE Stereo Single-Ended Triode-Connected Power Amplifier The Wright Audio Royale SE Power Amplifier is a single-ended, triode-connected tube stereo amplifier electrically and sonically matched to the Wright Audio Royale LT-6P. Due to the 'single-ended' circuitry, it has lower power output but is characterized by a much more vivid, clear and harmonically-rich sound with greater dimensionality than solid-state, Class D or higher-powered 'push-pull' amplifier types whether using tubes or transistors. It requires being used with higher efficiency speakers having a sensitivity rating of at least 90 db / 1 watt / 1 meter for a satisfactory experience. This sensitivity number will be found in the intended speaker's specifications. This power amplifier provides greater clarity and more dynamics than other tube single-ended designs. This is due to a careful selection of parts, a circuit topology and operating parameters all chosen for sound quality through extensive listening tests. Like all other Wright Audio amplifiers, polypropylene and foil capacitors and output transformers created for wide bandwidth and high resolution have been employed. The tubes are all biased into "Class A" service and the amplifier requires no maintenance or adjustment other than normal tube replacement. There are no solid-state devices, integrated circuits, transistors or circuit boards anywhere in the amplifier. The music signal directly passes through just two capacitors and two vacuum tube stages per channel to preserve the integrity of the signal source. Features and Specifications Frequency Response: 25 to 30,000 cycles, within 1db. 7 watts per channel output. Tube Complement: (1) 6822 or 6N1P (1) GZ34 / 5AR4 (2) KT77, EL34-type or 6CA7 tubes connected in triode mode. No other tube numbers accommodated. Vacuum tube, choke-filtered power supply provides higher resolution sound and slow warm-up for longer parts life. Speaker output: 8 ohms. 4 and 16 ohm versions are available. Plated jacks and heavy-duty 30-amp rated 5-way binding posts accept banana plugs. Externally-mounted fuse. Detachable IEC power cable. RoHS compliant parts used where applicable. All point-to-point wiring. Non-obsolescent construction with no circuit boards for ease of future possible upgrades. Glossy, black-anodized aluminum heavy-duty chassis with one-eighth thick top panel for lowest electrical and mechanical noise. Size: 17 1/2" W x 13 3/4" D x 9" H Allow at least 4 inches above the unit for heat dissipation. Weight: 34 lbs. 120 Volts, 50 / 60 Cycles. Three Year Warranty (Tubes: 3 Months) Designed and assembled in the U.S.A. with U.S. and Global components. High Performance Amplification Quality. "A High Level of Value or Excellence." 1 .) Wright Audio's designs extract the maximum audio quality that only tube technology can provide and does so at reasonable cost. 2 .) The Most Useful Features - Wright Audio preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers have the switching and control features to satisfy the most demanding installations. 3 .) Compact Designs - Wright Audio's amplifiers can fit anywhere. 4 .) Non-Obsolescent Construction - Wright Audio's designs use only commonly available tube types, operated conservatively, and are user replaceable. Amplifier designs using limited production run tubes or discontinued tube types so common among other brands is not acceptable. No circuit boards. Hand-wiring means that parts and circuits can be changed or upgraded at any future time by Wright Audio without entire product obsolescence. 5.) Reliability - Wright Audio amplifiers are so well-constructed that they carry one of the strongest Warranties in the business. Because they are made in the United States, service can be quickly and competently obtained if required.
