The QUAD Artera Pre the latest addition to to the Quad Artera range, it is a pure analogue pre-amplifier, combining the Artera design with the QUAD sound signature traditions, characterised by the pure analogue signal. The Artera Pre mixes minimalist design with high-quality components to ensure short, direct signal paths that preserve sonic purity, making this a perfect partner for the Artera Stereo Power Amplifier.
