Air Tight ATE-3011

Reference Phono Equalizer

The ATE-3011 is the flagship phono preamplifier from this legendary Japanese audio manufacturer and is a unique design with features unlike any other reference phono preamplifier in the world today. To understand such an ambitious amplifier, it is best to begin with understanding the intention that conceived the idea. Air Tight wanted to cater for the highly discerning music and vinyl record connoisseur who wanted to be able to listen to virtually ANY record using the correct equalization curve and therefore optimise the sound reproduction experience.

The ATE-3011 is equipped with 5 equalizing curves (RIAA, NAB, AES, FFRR, & FLAT) for Turnover and Roll-Off, and can independently select Turnover and Roll-off to create various curves to optimise the experience of your vinyl collection. A large self-illuminating display and an equalization curve selector switch offer easy change over between the various equalizing curve listening options.

Having the ability to accurately access these curves places this phono-stage in a rarefied league however the greatest achievement of the ATE-3011 without a doubt is its sound quality. Air Tight took three years to develop the ATE-3011 including countless design refinements and exhaustive listening tests. They were particularly focussed on the concept of non-colouration, or ultimate transparency which aspires to facilitate a sound where the amplifier adds no or an absolute minimum of its own character into the sonic presentation.

There are some significant innovations in the circuit topology as well as some new technologies focussed on mechanical resonance mitigation. The primary amplification section is housed within in the inner chassis. Three of the dual triode 12AX7 tubes are parallell located at the center of the main chassis and the amplification circuit for both channels is located on the thick copper plate above and below the location of the tubes. All the Mica capacitors and the huge de-coupling capacitors are brought together into one place. To reduce leakage flux, two large capacity toroidal transformers are employed and any superfluous influence on the amplification section is eliminated.

Independent L/R and input/output signals run through original stainless steel conductors instead of conventional cables up to the very point of equaliser input. All terminals, shielding, connectors and components are the very best available. Some new innovations were also employed to ensure that noise or hum-loop artefacts are completely eliminated and a muting relay circuit is employed to prevent noise when power is turned on.

This level of attention to detail all adds up to produce a supremely flexible and reference level sonic masterpiece.
If you have a large record collection which includes a variety of recordings from different eras, labels and pressings, you will be aware of the benefit of having access to the five main equalization curves in order to optimise your listening experience. Now you can hear your records exactly the way they were meant to be heard!

This little light is bright!
Color: Cool White
I was looking for a light to hang with my outdoor table that has an umbrella. I did not know this was a thing! But I am glad I found it! It fits perfect, snaps right on. The light is bright enough to see the entire area located under the umbrella. I am unsure how long the battery life works as we haven't stayed out past dark more than an hour or so, but it has worked every day for a week! Awesome product, awesome idea! Why didn't I think of that!?! Totally recommend this little light!

Great little umbrella light, I love it!
Color: Warm White, Color: Warm White
This umbrella light is small , compact and very lightweight, you can effortlessly move it around if your changing umbrellas. I Also love how bright this little thing is, with the click of a button the place is brightly lit. Love, that you don't have to have all the lights on if you don't want to that's a stand out feature. Great little light that adds a touch of elegance. Very user-friendly, in seconds to minutes its up and running.

Great Light but NOT USB CHARGEABLE
I bought this lamp for my bell tent, which has a center pole. It did exactly what I wanted it to do: provide light to my whole tent instead of depending on a lantern or flashlight. It snapped on easily and fit the pole perfectly. I wish it had a remote but I could have spent more and bought one with that functionality. The reason I took a star off is because it is advertised as being USB and even requires RECHARGABLE batteries. Since I'm not savvy on these things I paid extra for the batteries thinking the USB charges them in the device. NOPE. The USB is just for powering the light from an ac source (which is pointless for what I use it for).

Love the Warm Glow!
Color: Warm White
This light is very easy to install and has 3 different lighting options. I love the warm white light it emits as opposed to a bright white light that could attract bugs at night. Perfect light for patio, deck, camping, golf cart, etc!
