General Description
The Rane PS 1 High-Fidelity Phono Stage is a complete
professional RIAA phonograph stereo preamplifier designed
for remote turntable locations. Capable of driving extremely
long lines, and intended primarily for permanent archival
applications such as libraries, schools and museums, the PS 1
solves the problem of finding a reliable high qualitity phono
stage for consultants and contractors. Club designers also find
the PS 1 useful when needing to expand existing (or new)
mixers which have no available phono inputs.
The PS 1 has all the necessary features for a complete
remote installation. These include the correct loading capaci-
tors for all popular phono cartridges, and properly designed
rumble filters that remove all dangerous infrasonic
* signals
without interfering with the audio signals.
The PS 1 Phono Stage is supplied with a U.L. listed,
C.S.A. certified, CE approved, safety extra low voltage
(SELV) remote power supply for the best possible perfor-
mance and safety. The 230 V versions of the unit and the
power supply each meet the CE EMC directive 89/336/EEC.
