Are we going to allow our highly innovative monoblock amplifiers to be driven by a business-as-usual preamplifier? Definitely not.

The InControl project started with this goal: to provide the InPower monoblocks with a control unit that would allow them to deliver all their impressive potential. The research and development required two years of research and experimentation. The end result is outstanding.

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, power is obtained by means of single stabilized shielded power suppliers installed in a separate unit.

The volume control — which can be adjusted either by dialing the knob or via the hand crafted 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.
