A hallmark of Boulder design is the use of balanced
connectors for every input and output. This positively
removes all ground loops, hum, RF and other sources
of interference from the system. Balanced inputs use
the sophisticated 3-stage true instrumentation style
design for lowest distortion and highest common-
mode rejection possible.
For playing those irreplaceable
vinyl recordings, the 1012s RIAA
phono section is ready to reproduce
them more faithfully than ever.
Boulders sonically superior multi-
stage design, advanced component
placement, and four-layer circuit
boards deliver wide bandwidth,
low distortion and low noise.
Boulders very successful
solid-state attenuator used in the 2010 Preamplifier
is replicated in the 1012 with discrete resistors and
microcircuit switching. The 200 very accurate half-dB
steps allow a 100 dB range.
The digital and analog sections have completely
separate power supplies and transformers. When
an analog input is selected, power is turned off
to the entire DSP and digital audio sections. All
control commands are sent to the analog section via
optocouplers, maintaining complete separation.
A theater mode
programming option
allows an input to
be dedicated to a
surround sound
processor assuring easy system integration. The large
display is easily visible from across the room.
Made of polished stainless steel and satin
aluminum, the ultra-rigid, machined chassis and
remote control set a very stylish, timeless appearance
which complements any decor.
Whether your favorite source is analog or digital,
the Boulder 1012 DAC Preamplifier delivers every
musical note perfectly.
