Kaitaki Preamplifier

While the Plinius Kaitaki preamplifier mates aesthetically and musically with the Plinius P10 power amplifier this exciting preamplifier is the perfect partner for the Plinius SA103 power amplifier used either as a stereo amplifier or in a monoblock configuration.

Visible controls on the Kaitaki are the rotary volume knob and source selection buttons with all other functions driven from the distinctive Plinius remote control. LED indicators on the front panel display demonstrate the source selected and status of the mute, phase and HT bypass functions.

The Kaitaki will allow the connection of up to 5 source components including both balanced and single ended connection for CD. A processor loop allows integration with a home theatre system and output is available from RCA or XLR connectors. The optional adjustable phono stage model allows enjoyment of vinyl at a sophisticated level without the need to purchase a specialised phono preamplifier.

The electronics topography is derived in part from development work done on circuits for our later generation integrated amplifiers and source components, and a power supply with extremely low impedance allows the audio circuitry to deliver its best.

Features

OPTIONAL PHONO STAGE
The preamplifier can be fitted with an optional phono stage based on the Hautonga design. The Phono has two gain settings and five loading settings to allow for suitable cartridge matching.

REMOTE TRIGGER INPUT AND OUTPUT
Terminals for remote trigger connection allow a processor signal to bypass the preamplifier stage or instigate the power amp to come out of standby.

GROUND LIFT SWITCH
This allows for the signal ground to be isolated from the main chassis earth. This can assist in resolving unwanted ground loops or hum due to duplicate ground paths in some systems.

AURIC WIRING
Audience AV supply the Auric OFC wire used in the input stage of the amplifier. The Auric was chosen for its high workability and natural sound.

LINE OUT
The Line out provides a line level output, carrying the selected source signal. The Line Out allows for the signal to go on to recording equipment, headphone amplifiers or sub-woofer speakers.

RC5 INPUT
The RC5 input allows for connection to wired remote interfaces so it can be used as part of an automated system.

AURICAP CAPACITORS
Audience AV supply the Auricap XO capacitors used in key areas of the circuit. The Auricap was chosen for its superior clarity and dynamic ability.

ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION
The aluminium lid and panels provide a non-magnetic cover to reduce unwanted magnetic fields that can interfere with the sensitive audio signals.

Perfect thing to have around the farm💯
Color: Red
This little power house is great to have in your truck, car, or around the farm. I lover that it is so simple to use, will jump everything I have running on the farm, I can almost pump any tire too w/out having to grab the air compressor.powerful battery will run the jump starter, air compresser, has connections to power phone and other devices, all in a compact design. It even has it's own light with a blue Lit gauge screen on the front. Oh yea, and the carry bag is a nice touch. Gotta give this one 👍👍 way up 💯

Easy, lots of power, incredibly handy!
Color: Red
Bought one of these for each of my teenagers. They’re very easy to use and have came in clutch many times! One charge jumped two cars, a truck, a lawn mower twice, and it’s still going. I often grab it out of their vehicle to use on the farm. These are great for cars, trucks, side by sides, four wheelers, and lawn mowers. I definitely recommend this for anyone! I wrote this review sitting stranded with a flat tire on my side by side in a Cow field, waiting for my son to bring me his compressor.

So good we bought another
Color: Red
We spend a lot of time in Baja California, and rough, unpaved roads result in lots of tire punctures. Having a decent air compressor is therefore "necessary equipment". This unit inflates tires reasonably quickly, automatically displays the pressure in the tire before you set the desired inflation pressure, and shuts off automatically when the desired pressure is reached. The display is easy to read. The short, detachable hose is easily attached and removed, and stores in the bag with the pump. The hose length works for most common automobile tires, and will work for oversize tires by rotating the wheel to bring the valve stem closer to the ground. Attachment to the valve stem is easily accomplished with its lever-lock working end. The unit can additionally function as a battery booster for starting a vehicle with a low battery. Installation of the cable for that purpose is easily done, and it worked just fine when we had to use it on one of our two vehicles one morning, allowing the car to be started quickly and easily. Charging is accomplished with a standard USB charging cable (USB-A style at one end, and USB-C style connector at the other end). We had a puncture that required the pump to be used multiple times to get the 12 miles back to a tire repair shop. We could charge the pump up easily and quite quickly via the vehicle's USB port, stopping every few miles to pump the tire back up enough to keep going on the highway without having to go through the trouble of unloading the trunk to change the tire for the "doughnut" spare at the side of the road. Having those two experiences just shortly after we received the pump was more than enough proof that we should have another for our other car. I'd recommend it for its small, easily stowable size, good battery capacity and ease of use.

It works and I’m happy!
Color: Red
This item is terrific! A bit noisy but it’s compact and works like a charm. Inflates my tire quickly. I have not used it to jump start my car, but I’m convinced it would work just fine. Great price too!
