color is silver --sounds and looks amazing
origional box and manual
Based
on our flagship Hera preamplifier, the Athena offers reference level
performance in a more compact single box design. The Athena uses
four 6H30P tubes in a mu-follower configuration to provide outstanding
detail and dynamics. A seperate power supply which can be tucked
behind your system provides power to the enormous power supplies
located in the main chassis.
Like the Hera, every aspect of the Athena design is aimed at maintaining
near perfect signal integrity. To that end, we have designed a stepped
attenuator that uses purely resistive elements to derive more than
120 individual volume steps. The switch itself is proprietary and
manufactured in Switzerland specifically for Rogue Audio. A miniature
slipper clutch (much like those used in racing vehicles) connects
the massive attenuator to a motor that can then be remotely controlled.
All functional switching is done via heavy duty silver switches
rather than being routed through a silicon chip. Capacitors, resistors
and all other critical parts are of the highest quality as well.
The chassis itself is a fully machined work of industrial art that
provides the mechanical and electrical isolation necessary for the
incredibly low noise floor of the Athena. The ultra-sophisticated
design also includes a phase invert button, balance bypass, processor
loop, unity gain bypass and a host of other features. Our design
goal was to closely approach the performance of the Hera in a more
compact single box design - We think you will be very happy with
the results.
