The Newest RP-X Series Preamplifier

The RP-3 is built on the foundation of our cutting edge RP-X hardware and software platform. Every aspect of the RP-3 design is aimed at maintaining near perfect signal integrity. Beyond the computer optimized circuit topology, all of the capacitors, resistors and other critical parts are of ultra-high quality assuring the highest sonic integrity.

Highly sophisticated engineering

The sophisticated electrical design is based on pure class A tube amplification with mosfet output buffering to provide huge drive along with a super low output impedance. Fully balanced circuitry maintains exceptional signal integrity from input to output. Dual 12AU7 tube mu-follower design is a familiar Rogue architecture that provides exceptional power supply noise rejection ratio and minimizes non-linear distortion.

Ideal feature set

In addition to great sound, the feature rich RP-3 provides all of the functions required of a luxury hi- end preamp. Included are a home theater bypass, processor loop, mono button, defeatable display, slow start circuitry, and a host of other features. A full function remote provides additional convenience. Two pairs of XLR balanced inputs and three pairs of RCA line level inputs allow for numerous source components while XLR balanced outputs along with two pairs of RCA variable outputs facilitate a wide range of output connectivity. Also included is a high power tube based headphone amplifier capable of driving even the most difficult headphones.

Attractive and capable industrial design

The attractive industrial design includes an easy to read OLED display that further enhances the preamp's sleek and elegant appearance. The display provides all relevant information in large easy to read azure tinted characters. The ultra-high quality tactile buttons and knobs further add to the exclusive feel of the RP-3.
