This ad is for an
ARCAM FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) C30 Pre-Amplifier

The C30 preamplifier
is a superbly transparent music pre-amplifier and provides a level of
performance and flexibility that will delight even the most demanding music
enthusiast. The FMJ C30 is designed to redefine the performance level of audio
reproduction. Partnered with the FMJ P1 Monobloc Power Amplifier, it
represented the pinnacle of Arcam’s quest for ultra-high quality music
reproduction at the time.

At the heart of the
C30 is an ultra sophisticated power supply section with multi-stage regulation
and a massive toroidal transformer which combine to produce the quietest and
most stable environment for handling high definition audio signals. This low
noise supply ensures a rock solid soundstage in much the same way as a tripod
provides a base for exceptionally clear and detailed photographs. Many music
enthusiasts have extensive and treasured vinyl collections. Because of this,
the C30 comes complete with a very high-quality phono stage module for moving
coil and moving magnet cartridges.

The C30 preamplifier
uses Arcam’s sophisticated software system control that allows the user to
switch inputs without changes in volume level, and to choose volume control
settings and display options. The C30 uses carefully selected audiophile grade
components throughout. Critical components also benefit from the application of
sorbothane dampening material to minimise the microphonic effects that can mask
low level detail in the music. The multi-layer chassis incorporates a special
vibration dampening material called Acousteel that has been used with great
success in other FMJ products.

The C30 comes
equipped with both single ended and balanced output stages. Most people will
use the single ended phono outputs to connect to an adjacent power amplifier;
however, where long cable runs are used in conjunction with Arcam’s P1 monobloc
amplifiers, better results can be obtained by using the XLR balanced outputs
provided. The C30 also incorporates a separate high quality headphone output
that is driven by a separate headphone amplifier section.

The preamplifier is
fully controllable with the Arcam system remote and also features a standby
state to enable the C30 to be switched on or off from the comfort of your
favorite armchair. Moreover, it can provide a 12-volt trigger output to turn on
compatible Arcam power amplifiers.

The C30 was designed
and manufactured in the UK
and is in the silver finish.
