CLASS-LEADER IN AUDIO ARCHITECTURE WITH HIGH-FIDELITY AUDIO CONVERSION EMBEDDED WITH TWO MUSES72320 VOLUME CONTROL-CHIP

Symmetrical dual-mono is beautiful and achieves the highest possible audio performance. Under the hood, the Grand Tourer has two independently powered mono amps in mirrored symmetry.

DESIGNED FOR CUSTOMIZING YOUR SOUND WITH OPAMP ROLLING CAPABILITIES AND EQUIPPED WITH DISCRETE HI-FIDELITY V6 VIVID OPAMPS

Burson rose to prominence as a designer and manufacturer of opamps for studio and OEM applications. Burson's current series of opamps, such as the flagship V6 Vivid, is distinguished by discrete components rather than on-chip electronic devices. The V6 Vivid discrete opamps are recognized as the best in the world and are widely used in recording studios. The Soloist 3X Grand Tourer achieves transparency by using three V6 Vivid opamps per channel. Burson Audio, on the other hand, does not dictate your listening experience. It does, however, cater to your preferences by allowing you to modify the opamps, allowing you to customize your listening experience. With hundreds of audio opamps to choose from, you may customize your listening preference. The V6 Vivid is lively, dynamic, and transparent. Its remarkable dynamic range and three-dimensional soundstage are magical. The Solid-State V6 Vivid opamps are used in the input and line-level output stages, and thanks to the DIP8 sockets soldered on the motherboard, anyone can replace them for different audio opamps, which is fantastic for opamp rollers.

UNMATCHED POWER WITH HEADPHONE CROSSFEED AND MCPS ALLOW THE FINEST CONTROL TO POWER THE GRAND TOURER

The Burson Audio Soloist 3X Grand Tourer's beating heart is designed with five sets of Burson Max Current Power Supplies. They are pushing these MCPS to reach their full potential. So much so that they consume 90W when idle and need active cooling. Burson Audio created its own Max Current Power Supply (MCPS), which is used in all of its devices and Grand Tourer has also been embedded with this technology. The Grand Tourer does not trace power, despite blasting out 10 Watts. It seeks purity. Reference Class Volume Control, 120dB Channel separation, 0.5dB fine control, 3 power levels, and 3 levels of crossfeed is embedded in Soloist 3X Grand Tourer. Live music and loudspeaker sound are combined as it reaches your ears. It gives you a sense of where you are. Hardware-based crossfeed emulation is available in three settings on the Soloist 3X Grand Tourer. As a result, you'll be able to listen to your favorite songs exactly how the artist intended! To power, a wide range of headphones and IEMs Soloist 3X Grand Tourer offers three levels of gain controls low, medium, and high.

FULLY DISCRETE PURE CLASS A HEADPHONE AMP & PREAMP WITH ELITIST REMOTE VOLUME CONTROL AND A WIDE ARRAY OF INPUT-OUTPUT CAPABILITIES

An amplifier rarely provides headphone & subwoofer mode, the engineers at Burson Audio have embedded this functionality in Soloist 3X Grand Tourer to create an immersive listening experience. Industry aristocrats such as Pass Lab and AVM use the MUSES72320 volume control to reduce such distortion in their flagship preamps. The Soloist 3X Grand Tourer uses one MUSES72320 + V6 Vivid discrete buffer volume control per channel, eliminating any chances of cross-channel interference. Soloist 3X Grand Tourer also comes with a fully functional remote for easy operability. It is a Powerful Class A headphone amp delivering a power output of 10W XLR (balanced) and 5W Single-ended. It has a Stereo preamp with SUB output. Embedded with two Stereo XLR Input, two RCA inputs, a quarter-inch headphone jack, 3.5mm microphone input, it also comprises MIC Input BYPASS functionality which takes gaming to levels that gamers have never experienced before.

SPEAKER CENTERING EMBEDDED WITH HEADPHONE & SUBWOOFER MODE

Who can afford a sound-treated, totally symmetrical home theater? For the rest of us, having a door or window near one speaker and a bookcase near the other is so common. The sound staging becomes distorted by these components. However, with Burson Audio Soloist 3X Grand Tourer, you may regulate the volume of each stereo speaker separately with one MUSES+V6 Vivid volume controller per channel which brings you closer to that flawless soundstage that was previously only available to a fortunate few! It uses separate power supplies for cooling & Digital Control that allows you to take the headphone listening experience to a new level with a carefully matched and placed subwoofer. The head plus sub is a unique idea giving you that ability to listen to presumably open-back headphones and get that physical response from a subwoofer. The Grand Tourer enables this experience with its Head plus Sub mode. Turn it up a notch! The Soloist 3X Grand Tourer is a relentless pursuit of excellence. Headphones come and go, as do digital formats, but this analogue performer remains in trend. Start the Grand Tourer and switch down memory lane with it.

NOCTUA COOLING FAN WITH ACTIVE COOLING CAPABILITY TO KEEP SOLOIST 3X GRAND TOURER COOLER THAN CONVENTIONAL AMPLIFIERS

The Burson Cool Case already has the largest heat sink of any headphone amplifier that dissipates heat, increasing the service life of the amplifier. Despite this, Burson Audio engineers chose active cooling for the Soloist 3X Grand Tourer. Active cooling allows the Soloist 3X Grand Tourer to be pushed to its performance limit because every component operates in a predetermined temperature range regardless of the surroundings. The engineers at Burson Audio created a new enclosure with increased stiffness and reduced resonance to remove wind noise. Wind noise is below 25dBA when this resonance-free enclosure is combined with the quietest fan money can buy from Noctua in Austria. As a result, the Soloist 3X Grand Tourer is quieter. The aluminum "Cool case" design works as a large heatsink for the large output-stage transistors and power regulators. Aside from its unique appearance and feel, the Soloist case provides excellent protection from outside EMI/RFI interferences.

MACHINED ALUMINUM HEATSINK ENCLOSURE PROVIDING A CLASS-LEADING BUILD

Let's be honest most audio equipment cases are unsightly and inconvenient. Exposed screws, sharp corners, and poor colors are common. Burson added a much superior Cool Case on this one, which is much better at heat dissipation. On the surface, it appears similar to its all-in-one sister, the Conductor 3X Performance. Burson rebuilt its case from the ground up, making the most of every interior square inch. It's packed with some of the best components and housed in a gleaming aluminum shell. Its fins increased its surface area, acting as a massive heat sink for its eight output transistors. All the screws on Burson's rear panel are hidden, giving it a significantly cleaner appearance. Naturally, the case was machined using a CNC machine, revealing the raw aluminum finish that complements the device perfectly. It has some good rubber feet underneath it. Soloist 3X Grand Tourer has an elegant build that gives you the confidence of a device lasting for the years to come.
