Tisbury Audio has released a major redesign of its popular Mini Passive Preamplifier.

The preamp has a polished new look, lower price tag and a few new tricks up its sleeve. It features a laser engraved walnut and aluminium enclosure, stepped attenuator volume control, 3 inputs, 2 configurable outputs, and selectable fixed attenuation.

“A passive preamplifier differs from its ‘active’ counterparts by having no power supply and no active components,” says Wes Young of Tisbury. “Fundamentally, it is a high quality volume control and switches in a box, so it’s about as close to audibly transparent as you can get.”

Handmade in London from primarily British sourced parts, it comes with a 1 year warranty and 14 day trial period. The updated model replaces the original and is available immediately for £129, direct from Tisbury Audio.
