Distortion plus Noise THDN. Even this low level distortion is predominantly second order...a much less heinous form of distortion and agreed by many to impart a slight sweetness to a signal. Despite the unbalanced inputoutput connections, the RNLA has a dynamic range of 117dB, minimum, which is appropriate for today's digital systems and exceeds that which is attainable with many older, vintage levelling amplifiers. The RNLA offers a clip point <3% THD of 22.5dBu.
