Introducing the EAR 912 Preamplifier, a pinnacle of valve technology meticulously crafted to enhance both the vinyl enthusiast's and the contemporary multi-source line-level system's audio experience. With an unwavering commitment to superior sound quality, the EAR 912 does not compromise on features or flexibility.

Inspired by Performance Developed under the guidance of Tim de Paravicini, a name synonymous with professional audio excellence, the EAR 912 is engineered for studio playback, offering a sophisticated feature set alongside top-tier audio performance. Its design includes professional touches like VU meters and robust aluminium handles, blending style with functionality to suit any setting. The preamplifier is available with a front façade and knobs in either silver or black brushed anodised aluminium, providing durability with a refined aesthetic.

Dial in the Experience The EAR 912 features dual analogue VU meters, engineered to studio specifications, allowing for precise visual monitoring of audio levels. This functionality helps you adjust for source variability, managing over-compressed sounds while preserving dynamic range. The Phonostage offers adjustable gain settings of -6 and -12dB, routed directly through our high-quality audio transformers for flawless sound reproduction.

The Finest Quintet As Tim de Paravicini’s highest performing valve preamp, the EAR 912 utilises five PCC88 valves—three designated for the phono stage and two for line level inputs. This consistency in valve type simplifies maintenance and replacement while ensuring reliability and longevity, hallmarks of EAR’s commitment to quality.

A Half-Dozen Transformers: Not a Half-Hearted Performance The EAR 912 incorporates six output transformers, each precisely engineered for specific input types—line, balanced, and phono. This design ensures that each source can achieve its optimal sound performance, demonstrating EAR’s dedication to exceptional audio quality.

Better Connected The EAR 912 preamplifier offers extensive connectivity options, with four line, two balanced, and two phono stage inputs, allowing for significant system expansion. Additionally, two line and two balanced outputs facilitate the transmission of ultra-high-quality audio directly to your Hi-Fi system, ensuring an unparalleled listening experience.
