Overview

InControl is a two stage preamplifier entirely and intrinsically balanced, operating in pure Class A. InControl has been developed according to all the traditional Pathos guidelines: tube tension amplification, solid state current amplification, well dimensioned power supplies and the highest quality selected components.

The amplification stage is obtained with a double triode in balanced configuration, while the output buffer is de signed with extremely low noise components, for a sonic result which favours musicality, transparency and naturalness.

In order to achieve maximum performance, all the single power supplies are obtained by means of single stabilized shielded power suppliers installed in a separate unit.

The volume control - which can be adjusted both by dialing the knob and via the hand :rafted solid wood remote control - is of the highest sophistication: it acts in 1dB steps by means of an optical device which drives a battery of relais (vacuum packed, with thorium contacts), which drive a network of precision resistors (1%, metal layer). In a word, accuracy at its finest.

About the brand

Pathos was founded in 1994 by three Italian pioneers.
The philosophy that accompanies the Pathos brand, "the unorthodox approach", effectively creates the benchmark of the business philosophy: the Pathos approach to the reproduction of music does not know any dogmas or rules, but the goal is clear - to reproduce music in the most authentic way.
Every machine planned and constructed by Pathos must contain technological innovation, not innovations as technical exercise, but something capable of offering real advantages for the realisation of the original aim of "faithful reproduction of music".
