Roma 117 DC PRE
The new ROMA117DC tube line preamplifier with its great tonal balance and refined reproduction is the perfect combination with the ROMA98DC mono power amps.

For over three decades Synthesis Audio have been dedicated to the research of audio excellence. The team are dedicated to creating audio components that honour musical performances, through careful design, careful selection of the best components available and meticulous attention to construction. As a result, they have created, quite possibly, an unrivalled line preamplifier in its class.

The ROMA117DC matches the simple and elegant design of the rest of the ROMA Series. A product of great musicality for the most demanding music lovers.

The audio circuit consists of a two-stage amplification incorporating two Pairs of 6922 / ECC88 Tubes. The balanced and balanced inputs are managed through using an input tube. The output stage of the amplifier is made using an output transformer. A low output impedance makes the ROMA117DC extremely flexible in the choice of interconnect cables for connection to the final stages of power amplifiers. The frequency response is extremely linear and extended enough to reach 5 Hz - 40KHz at -3dB. The power supplies of both the filaments and the anodic are electronically regulated with a regulation better than 0.1%.

The ROMA117DC is supplied with a remote control that allows for volume adjustment and source selector. Electronic switches are located near the input connectors, keeping signal paths very short to minimise crosstalk between channels. In the audio circuit, only precision resistors a metal film and polypropylene capacitors are used. The tubes have been selected to ensure quality and minimise noise and microphonics.

The Roma Series, like the rest of the Synthesis range, offers something quite different… Advanced valve technology, for all that warmth and beautiful sonic expression you hope for, but without the limitations of low power amplifiers and complex system matching. The Roma 510 AC, for example, is compatible with a wide-range of speakers thanks to its beefy 80W output at 6Ω, yet still gives you the core of what you hope for from a valve amplifier. Elsewhere in the range there are some amazing source devices, meaning it’s easy to build a very impressive system using only Roma products, all at a very competitive price.
