🎵 Minimal dielectric absorption for transient accuracy
🎵 Wide frequency bandwidth with linear phase response
🎵 Exceptional reliability with gold-plated terminals
🎵 Non-magnetic construction eliminates induced noise
🎵 Matched pair selection for stereo channel consistency

🌀 Hand-Wound Custom Inductors

Audio Wave takes inductor manufacturing to unprecedented levels by custom-fabricating their own coil wire and hand-winding every inductor to exact specifications. This labor-intensive process allows for precise control over inductance values, DC resistance, and self-resonant frequency characteristics. Unlike mass-produced components with wide tolerances, each hand-wound coil is individually measured and verified before installation, ensuring perfect matching within the circuit topology and eliminating performance variations between channels.

⚙️ Custom core materials selected for optimal magnetic characteristics
⚙️ Precision winding patterns for minimal parasitic capacitance
⚙️ Individual testing and matching for each stereo pair
⚙️ Optimized wire gauge for current handling and efficiency
⚙️ Custom insulation materials for high-frequency performance
⚙️ Temperature-compensated design maintains accuracy across conditions

🎛️ Split RCA Board Architecture

The Excel DST features an innovative split RCA input board design that physically separates left and right channel inputs on opposite sides of the circuit board. This strategic layout maximizes stereo separation by minimizing crosstalk between channels, preserving the spatial information encoded in your recordings. The result is a dramatically enhanced soundstage with precise instrument localization, improved imaging depth, and holographic three-dimensional presentation that places you directly in the recording venue.

🎭 Enhanced channel separation exceeding 80dB
🎭 Minimized electromagnetic interference between channels
🎭 Optimized ground plane design for noise rejection
🎭 Dedicated power supply rails for each channel
🎭 Precision-matched signal paths for perfect stereo imaging
🎭 Isolated grounding topology eliminates ground loops

🎚️ Independent Operational Amplifier Stages

Each channel of the Excel DST features its own dedicated operational amplifier and precision gain potentiometer, providing complete independence between all four channels. This sophisticated design approach ensures that each amplification stage operates in total isolation, eliminating any potential for interaction or crosstalk. The individual gain controls offer precise level matching capabilities, allowing you to perfectly balance your system regardless of speaker sensitivity differences or installation variables.

🎼 Independent gain adjustment from 0.3V to 5.0V input sensitivity
🎼 Premium multi-turn potentiometers for precise calibration
