Classics For The Modern Age
The QUAD Artera Pre is a pure analogue preamplifier, combining innovative modern British design with the QUAD sound signature traditions, characterized 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.
The Artera range combines the qualities that have made Quad one of Britain’s most revered hi-fi marques for many decades with fresh industrial design and the very latest high-performance audio technologies.
Artera’s crisp, clean aesthetic both evokes Quad’s past and looks
forward to the future, with a textured aluminium front panel, thick
glass top and CNC-routed heat sinks on either side. The housing provides
a rugged structure that resists interference from external vibrations,
while the fascia of each player incorporates an intuitive
touch-sensitive control, contributing greatly to its sleek design.
Tilt Control
The Quad Artera preamplifier includes Quad’s tilt control tone-shaping functionality. Providing simultaneous adjustment to both the treble and bass frequencies at the same time, the tone control can reduce the high frequencies and
boost the lower frequencies simultaneously, or vice versa, changing the overall tonal balance to make the preamp sound warmer or brighter without affecting the volume. Tilt control is a useful and simple way to adjust the tone for different recordings or rooms.
