For more than 30 years, the name "Electrocompaniet" has been synonymous
with the manufacture of great sounding power amplifiers.  The numerous
prestigious international awards, as well as top ranking reviews, attest
to the success and appreciation of the amplifiers.

Since 1999, we have had the same level of world-wide recognition with
our reference CD player, the Electrocompaniet EMC 1.  The obvious
missing link has been a preamplifier matching the quality of the
award-winning power amplifiers and reference CD player.

With the new Electrocompaniet two-channel EC 4.8 preamplifier, the
missing link is now removed.

 

 

With its outstanding performance, excellent resolution, superb control and precise musical rendering, we have succeeded making a preamplifier that is
true to our slogan,
“Closing the gap to the master”.

 

Our new two-channel EC 4.8 preamplifier is sure to make all good
power amplifiers sound even better !
The EC4.8 preamplifier is designed to fill our need for a advanced preamplifier in a higher price range. The preamplifier is designed as a slimline version, with a fully balanced electronic solution from input to output. It is designed as two separate mono preamplifiers, each with it’s own power supply. This preamplifier can be used with the included IR remote controller or as an option, together with the RF based remote controller ECT 2. The EC4.8 has the new SPAC network for safety control of the connected power amplifiers.
