FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How do I integrate P4 into a audio system?

First, connect P4 to your audio sources via RCA cables, then connect P4 to an amplifier via RCA cables, and lastly, use speaker cables to connect the amplifier to the passive speakers.

What is the function of the Bypass switch?

This is the bypass function for turning the tone control on and off. Sliding it up bypasses the bass and treble adjustments while sliding it down enables the bass and treble controls. The bypass switch won’t function on the volume control.

What are the benefits of the high-precision motorized analog potentiometer in the P4?

It ensures smooth, precise volume control, and enhances usability while reducing noise and distortion. When adjusting the volume with the remote, the potentiometer‘s motor syncs with the physical knob, providing a seamless and intuitive experience.

What can the pre-out port used for?

Allows for easy connection to external powered subwoofers or additional amplification. It ensures seamless integration with your audio system, enabling enhanced bass response or driving additional speakers for a more immersive listening experience.

The issues for *me* are:

1. the Pre Out is like post fader on a mixing desk, meaning effects are applied, meaning if you play with the eq, you change the signal going out of the Pre Out.
Problem is that if you use the Pre Out to drive a sub (which probably 98% of users do?) and Main Out to drive speakers, and you want to eq the speakers... well you also eq the sub, change it sound and volume so all your balance goes off :-\

2. I feel the remote granularity of controlling the volume is too crude. many times I feel like one tick up is too loud and one tick down is too quiet, which means I need to walk to the preamp and manually set the volume.

If those issues can be fixed with mod instructions from Fosi (I know how to use a soldering iron) then this preamp could get 5 stars.
If one issue can be solved? 4 stars.
As is, for me? that's 3 stars.

Other then that, build is solid, knobs feel good, finish perfect, no noise what so ever, eq is very nice. I actually wanted to buy another one for a second system, but obviously I won't.

The only problem with this preamplifier comes from its power supply. It does not match the high quality of this product. It is preferable to replace it by buying a Studler!
