C-2110 STEREO CONTROL CENTER

The C-2110 is a straightforward "basic" preamplifier that continues the excellent design policy of other
higher-ranked Accuphase models. Specifications and configuration are similar, but the AAVA volume
control has been further refined. AAVA is a new kind of volume control that has revolutionized the concept
of the analog preamplifier by integrating the amplification and volume control tasks and eliminating all
variable resistors (and thereby all mechanical contact points) from the signal path. The result is a drastic
improvement in performance and sound quality. AAVA circuitry and other parts are configured as channel-
separate modules on a motherboard, and the power supply section also maintains the dual mono
approach. This reliably prevents unwanted crosstalk and interaction both on the electrical and the physical
plane. The C-2110 also features tone adjustment controls, support for recorder/copy connections, EXT
PRE capability, and a PHASE button that lets the user specify the phase setting for each input position
separately. Option board slots provide even more versatility for handling digital input signals or analog
record playback.
