NEW LIFE CHANGER AUDIO ICON 5 PASSIVE PREAMPLIFIER LAUNCHED

The Life Changer Audio icOn 5 is the completely redesigned new generation of icOn smart passive preamplifiers.

The icOn 5 is a remote-controlled passive preamplifier that can also operate purely passively, Icon Audio has also named it an “AVC line control unit” due to the additional active circuits it incorporates.

The icOn 5 features a new Slagle autoformer, with either a copper or silver option, with lower inductance, a larger air gap, and improved linearity. The lower inductance requirement led Icon to design an input buffer that can be easily bypassed with the remote.
