16 500,00 €
The Audia Flight Strumento N°1 mk2 is a stereo line preamplifier for home audio systems. It provides five input selections: two accept balanced XLR and/or unbalanced RCA, while three accept XLR only. Two balanced XLR outputs and one unbalanced RCA output offer connection choices. Gain spans -90 dB to +10 dB in precise 0.5 dB steps.
The Audia Flight Strumento N°1 mk2 is a stereo line preamplifier for a home stereo system. It connects line-level audio sources through balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA input options. Its XLR and RCA outputs provide connection choices for the rest of the stereo system.
Five input selections give this model room for several sources. Two selections accept XLR and/or RCA connections, while three use XLR connections exclusively. Gain adjusts from -90 dB to +10 dB in 0.5 dB steps.
This preamplifier suits listeners assembling a home stereo system around line-level sources. Its two balanced XLR outputs serve systems requiring more than one XLR output connection. An unbalanced RCA output provides another connection option within the same unit.
Benefits
- Five source selections – Two inputs accept balanced XLR and/or unbalanced RCA connections. Three additional inputs accept balanced XLR connections only.
- Three output connections – Two balanced XLR outputs and one unbalanced RCA output support different stereo system connections.
- Fine gain adjustment – The 0.5 dB steps allow more precise settings across the -90 dB to +10 dB range.
- Low harmonic distortion – Total harmonic distortion measures less than 0.05% for this model.
- Defined signal-to-noise ratio – The Strumento N°1 mk2 has a specified signal-to-noise ratio of 105 dB.
- Low standby consumption – Power consumption falls below 0.5 W when the preamplifier is in standby mode.
- Substantial chassis – The unit measures 450 × 120 × 450 mm and weighs 28 kg.
Who Is This For?
The Strumento N°1 mk2 is designed for a home stereo system that needs a stereo line preamplifier. It provides input choices for line-level sources equipped with balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA connections. The three XLR-only inputs suit a system with several balanced source connections.
For output connections, the model accommodates systems using balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA. Its two XLR outputs provide a pair of balanced output connections. The RCA output allows an unbalanced connection from the same preamplifier.
This is a line preamplifier for stereo use. Its five input selections and three outputs determine how it can be connected within a home audio setup. Specific companion equipment models are not required to describe those connection options.

Why Choose the Strumento N°1 mk2?
Balanced connectivity has a prominent place in this model’s layout. Three inputs are dedicated to XLR, and two outputs use XLR connections. The remaining two input selections accommodate XLR and/or RCA, giving owners another way to connect line-level sources.
Its gain control covers a 100 dB span between the stated endpoints. The 0.5 dB adjustment steps divide that span into fine settings. Together, these specifications make the available gain range and adjustment precision clear before installation.
The preamplifier draws 90 W at its nominal power rating and less than 0.5 W in standby. It weighs 28 kg without its shipping package. The packed weight is 40 kg, with a 580 × 300 × 580 mm shipping package.
