Preamp, or preamplifier, is an essential device in professional audio systems. They are used to amplify weak audio signals to a level that the main amplifier can accept, aiming to produce output sound that is detailed, full, and of better quality. This device is typically used at the center of the system to meet high-quality movie watching and music listening needs.

Detail

A preamp is a standalone device composed of a pre-amplifier stage that is separate from the main power amplifier. It does not operate independently but must accompany an amplifier. Initially, the preamp receives weak audio signals from sources such as turntables, microphones, music players, CDs, and tuners. These signals often contain a lot of noise and distortion, but when processed through the preamp, about 99% of the audio flaws are corrected, enhancing the signals to a stronger and cleaner level for the amplifier to accept.

The preamp adjusts the signals at a low level, essentially correcting flaws in the signal without altering the sound quality, ensuring that the final audio achieves the highest quality and tonal balance. Specifically, the bass is soft and not harsh, the midrange is natural, clear, and bright, and the treble is smooth and crisp without being shrill or harsh—all appealing to the listener, delivering music with perfect quality.

Furthermore, using a preamp also optimizes the real-time performance of surround sound systems, ensuring device conversion efficiency of up to 97%, meeting the necessary conditions for a true high-fidelity audio system.

Currently, there are two popular product lines of preamps on the market: clean preamps and colored preamps. Both lines improve sound quality by adding a transparent effect during the signal processing.

  • Clean preamps: perform the signal reception and processing like a regular amplifier, with the advantage of producing clean and clear sound, minimizing noise and distortion.
  • Colored preamps: amplify the signals to a stronger level by introducing some distortion into the device to compensate for deficiencies and balance the sound waves, resulting in sweeter, softer, and warmer audio.

However, between clean preamps and colored preamps, there are distinct advantages, disadvantages, and suitability for each system.
