Test results

Impressive efficiency

In the middle, there's a volume control that feels great when the remote isn't being used. On the left, there's the input selector switch. On the back, there are pairs of XLR and RCA in/out connections. All demo units sent to us were dressed in a black chassis. However, they can also be ordered in silver or red. The performance the SPL Elector delivered was stunning for this price. Overall, the SPL Elector was a pleasantEfficient preamplifier.
