Quad 99 Pre Amplifier - Silver

Quad sound systems have always been able to give their owners the utmost pleasure and passion when they listen to music. But now the 99 Series brings more. Conceived as a fully integrated component system, there is an assurance of absolute compatibility and the convenience offered by the high levels of intelligence exhibited in the control system.
The modern design of the 99 Series components has been developed to dovetail ease of use, style and elegance with one of the finest sounds available today. Intelligent control systems are used to create a seamless link between the various 99 Series components, allowing complete operation from a single remote control. Our unique ‘Quad Link’ bus connection system transfers not only system commands, but also fully balanced audio signals.
With the 99 Series, you are assured exquisite performance; convenience of use; quality of construction; enviable support, but most of all, the pedigree of a company that has built a long-term reputation on the ability to reproduce music in a manner that is the closest approach to the original sound.
State of the art performance combined with unique operating features sets the Quad 99 Pre-Amplifier apart from competing products.
The combination of universal phono-socket connectors and Quad Link inputs gives the ability to connect an almost unlimited number of sources, each with optimal matching. All inputs, including those for moving-coil and moving-magnet cartridges, have adjustable sensitivity.
This flexibility also extends to the wide range of precise tone-control adjustments that can be made. In addition to the usual high frequency filter, there are adjustments for the bass response, and the unique Quad ‘Tilt’ control which skews the entire frequency response to give a preferred tonal balance. The Quad 99 Pre-Amplifier is packed with technical innovation including noiseless solid state signal switching and digitally addressed analogue volume and balance controls. These track both left and right channels with a previously unattainable accuracy of better than 0.1dB.
