8. Special features
8.1. Trigger Output
Some power amplifiers, such as the Myth Power Amplifier, provide a
"trigger" input for being turned on or off externally. Connecting the Myth
Preamplifier trigger output to trigger input of a power amplifier makes it
possible to control the operation of the power amplifier as well.
Once turned on, the Myth Preamplifier provides a DC voltage on the
Trigger Output. The voltage level is 15V and it is not stabilized, neither it
is protected with fuse. Note: Before connecting the trigger output to a
power amplifier read the specification of the power amplifier and make
sure that it can accept the 15 V DC to its trigger input. Also, avoid short
circuiting the trigger output as it may stop to function properly.
8.2. Auto Balance
The Myth Preamplifier contains a microprocessor unit which controls the
operation of the Light Dependent Resistors (LDR). Due to different
behavior of each LDR element, it is very important to adjust operation of
each LDR in order to equalize volume levels of left and right output
channels. Microprocessor unit in the Myth Lighspeed Preamplifier uses a
smart algorithm for perfect matching the output levels of left and right
output channel. The equalization is successfully done on each volume level
available in the Myth Preamplifier, therefore there is no level difference in
channels when listening quiet or loud music.
8.3. Internal Power Supply
The Myth Preamplifier contains two separate power supply units, for
digital and analog section. Both units are galvanically separated and have
no physical contact which eliminates the interference between the two and
takes it to the absolute minimum.
The analog power supply section is made with special care and it uses
high quality filter capacitors and qualitative voltage stabilizers for the best
performance. Moreover, the output stage of the preamplifier is equipped
with current source buffers the operation of which does not depend on
voltage swings in power supply, thus giving even more dynamics and
musicality to the sound.
8.4. Internal wiring
Internal wiring of the analog section is taken to the minimum. All audio
signals travel at very short paths from input to output. The analog signal
paths of the Myth Preamplifier are actually only the PCB tracks. RCA
connectors are soldered directly to the PCB and no other wiring is used for
this purpose.
