5802 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER / OWNER’S MANUAL

OVERVIEW

5805 Analog Input Stage

The foundation of the N

5805 is its proprietary PurePath

circuitry- a fully discrete, direct-coupled, dual-monaural line-

level preamp circuit, for which the Shelton design team has two

patents pending. A unique single gain stage mated to a digitally

controlled resistor network for volume adjustment maintains

maximum signal integrity and widest possible bandwidth. Each

of its three stereo line level inputs—one balanced XLR and two

single-ended, using custom Mark Levinson RCA connectors—

has its own individual high-reliability signal switching relays.

A newly designed Phono stage features a hybrid gain topology,

mating key discrete components from the acclaimed N

500

series Pure Phono stage with low-noise integrated circuits

for high performance and space efficiency. Also like the

500 series, a hybrid active/passive RIAA equalizer employs

precision resistors and polypropylene capacitors for exceptional

accuracy and sonic clarity. The user can select MM/MC gain

and infrasonic filter from the setup menu, while capacitive and

resistive loading settings are easily accessed from the rear

panel.
