SuperVolume
In every music system that exists the volume must be controlled somehow. Be it an ordinary potentiometer, a ladder rotary switch, a digital encoder, a multi-tap transformer - some way is necessary and each has its pros and cons. We at Lampizator spent 16 years dealing with this issue and at the end ofd it we came up with our own way - the best we can make regardless of the budget or technology or space constraints. The SuperVolume was born.
Yes it is prohibitively stupid crazy expensive, we understand - but it is what it is - we know there are the no-compromise people who will want.
We are one of them ;-)
Next Generation Volume Control system
A quiet revolution at Lampizator that is a result of one year development in the background, a joined effort of Lampizator and external R&D powers
Resulting design is unique and has no equivalent in the world (that we know of)
Features important for the end user
Up to 200 steps possible plus bypass and mute (reduced by software to 100 useful steps on linear curve
Totally silent operation
Better precision and tracking linearity
Cleaner, more open sound with inner details previously buried.
Features important for the business
Can be easily offered as a retrofit upgrade
Can be bundled as upgrades with E12 or USB etc.
Nobody offers this quality of sound from VC
New preamp and passive pre will be on another level
It has the same footprint as old VC board
It has the same mounting holes and wiring points as old system
It draws 1/30 of the current so it doesn’t require any separate transformer or big PSU like the old system
Installation time is cut in half (for balanced systems)
Life expectancy is infinite (number of cycles as well)
Works with the old volume processor and displays
Only one board for balanced, versus double decker sandwich in old system
Total elimination of relays (precise miniature mechanical device that is the culprit of 90% of defects)
Exclusive deal with the OEM mounting company and with the co-designer so it will not leak.
Business perspective
Makes “Horizon 2” an attractive new package (blending four upgrades together - the Next Gen VC, Taiko XDMI, the “X” and the 360.
Neptune preamp will have SQ of the world top preamps
Passive preamp is ultra transparent and pure. Super sound for less. New product for us to sell. Also worthy of the Aphrodite.
Compatibility
All old DACS and preamps equipped with our remote volume system. The old systems we used before:
2010 to 2015: Taras System,
2014-2018 DanZup system
2018-2026 - Khozmo system
All new builds are "possible" but at extra cost, except that the upper echelon products like the Horizon, Poseidon and Pacific and Neptune preamp - cost is included.
Retro-fit upgrades are available from us.
