I've Got Questions

The Audio Research PC-1 is a passive line-level crossover designed to facilitate bi-amplification by splitting audio signals into separate frequency bands before amplification. This approach allows each amplifier to handle a specific range of frequencies, potentially enhancing overall system performance.

The PC-1 implements a first-order (6 dB per octave) high-pass filter at a crossover point of 1,000 Hz (1Khz). This design was particularly recommended by Audio Research for use with certain speaker systems, such as the Magnepan Tympani T-1, to optimize bi-amping configurations.

The History of Audio Research
Audio Research Corporation, affectionately known to fans as ARC, was founded by William Z. Johnson, who began designing custom audio electronics in the early 1950’s and who also operated a specialty audio retail store until the mid-1960’s. Johnson’s efforts almost single-handedly revived vacuum-tube designs at a time...

Packing
Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. We use our InstaPak machine and white open cell foam to build a custom enclosure for your piece that ensures that it's stable and secure. If it is particularly fragile or heavy, we typically opt for private courier delivery. Depending on where you are in the country, that may cost a bit extra.
