The LOC offers a selectable mono or stereo playback environment which can be used with any modern or legacy phonograph cartridge. Any known style of record pressing can be compensated perfectly with the LOC, including vertical groove processes. When the LOC does not offer a precise preset compensation point, a user may define virtually any compensation via passive plug-in components.
LOC Legacy design employs a discrete-hybrid topology from input to output, utilizing both discrete bipolar and field-effect transistors where they are optimally applied for Millennia's hallmark sonic invisibility. The LOC accepts balanced line level or phono level input via gold XLR connectors. Outputs are both gold XLR and RCA phono. Mains powering is worldwide.
The Legacy offers forty-nine combinations of preset compensation curves for precise performance with all formats, including 33-1/3 (RIAA), 45, and 78 RPM records. Legacy’s phono compensation network has only one active amplifier stage in the audio signal path. Compare this with textbook phono designs employing anywhere from two to five compensation path amplifiers.
