L3 Remote Pre-Amplifier Kit

This version takes our L3 Line Mk2 pre-amplifier and adds high quality remote control capabilities. The L3 Remote and its couterpart the L3 Line MkII are the ultimate in Audio Note DIY engineering.

The quality of the volume control is critical for excellent sound quality. Any degradation from the volume control will be further amplified by the subsequent gain stages. Conventional designs insert dozens of components and solder joints in the signal path. Commercial integrated circuit volume controls very often have operational amplifiers in the signal path and usually have very limited signal headroom.

The Audio Note shunt volume control eliminates the above limitations. It has only one high quality resistor in series with the signal and there is only one switch contact. This shunt volume control is used in Audio Note's most expensive M9 and M10 preamplifiers.

AudioNote Kits has adopted the Audio Note shunt volume control and built a microprocessor switching system around it. The system uses very high quality audio relays to ensure it contributes no degradation to the signal.
