Accuphase :: C-2450 Pre-amplifier

The Precision Stereo Control Center C-2450 reflects the refined sonic sensibility of Accuphase while incorporating advanced technology features developed for the C-3800 and C-2850.
Ever since being first introduced in the C-2800 preamplifier in 2002, AAVA technology has been continually refined and improved, while of course retaining the underlying principle.
The C-2450 features separate power supplies for left and right channel, each with a dedicated power transformer, filtering capacitors and peripheral circuitry. Modular units for the line input, balanced input, AAVA, and other circuit stages are arranged separately for left and right channels, to eliminate any risk of unwanted electrical or mechanical interaction between the two stereo channels.
- Refined & functional front panel design
- Luxury Aluminum Top plate
- Newly developed electrolytic capacitors ~ pursuing the ultimate sound quality
- Ultra low noise performance ~ Further improvement of AAVA
- Phono Equalizer Unit “AD-28XX” series is available
