AEA RPQ503 Preamp Module & EQ - Lunchbox 500 Series

The AEA RPQ503 is the next evolution in AEA’s trusted lineage of high-impedance, high-gain preamplifiers.

Based on the 3rd Generation circuit design AEA's celebrated RPQ3, the RPQ503 brings the same rich and natural sound to the 500 Series Format. Featuring a powerful combination of ultra-low noise, low-distortion op-amps, ultra-high 68KΩ input impedance, and 85dB of clean gain, the RPQ503 delivers exceptional clarity and detail. More than just a preamp, the RPQ503 also includes the expanded EQ section of the RPQ3, with boost and cut controls for both low and high end, on custom, compact, dual-concentric potentiometers.

At once open and transparent but equally responsive and dynamic, the RPQ503 is a versatile tool for the front end of any signal path.
