Specifications

Because the PRE3VB runs cool, it can be placed in
many system locations without compromise. We do
not recommend placing weights or other objects
directly on the PRE3VB. This may scratch or mar the
chassis finish. Do not use harsh chemicals when
cleaning the outside of your PRE3VB.
Single Ended RCA and Balanced XLR connectors
are available. XLR jacks allow balanced hookup
using the standard North American pin configuration:
The Bel Canto PRE3VB represents a powerful statement in high performance audio control preamplifiers. Its
superb audio performance and transparency renders it a modern standard in control preamplifier design:
• All analog, low noise, low distortion
architecture for controlling up to six (6)
2-channel inputs including 1 balanced input
• Fully balanced XLR outputs for optimum
interface with the power amplifier
• 4-layer PC board design for superior signal
routing, grounding and power supply routing
• Latest generation of low-noise, low-distortion
high speed audio buffers, level controls and
output drivers provide superb measured and
subjective audio quality
• Independent digital and analog transformers
with multi-stage power supplies for precise
power to the sensitive analog circuitry
• Precision audio grade resistors and no
capacitors in the audio signal path
• Ultra low noise second stage regulation for
the analog amplifier sections
• Home Theater Bypass mode on Input 5
• Digitally controlled analog volume control for
optimum signal architecture
• New Single-Knob user interface provides
Simple, intuitive control function
The sonic performance of the PRE3VB will begin to stabilize after 100 hours of continuous power up.
