Synthesis Roma 117DC preamplifier: Tube sound and a variety of finishes

The Roma 117DC preamplifier is produced by the Italian Hi-Fi brand Synthesis Art in Music, located in Morrovalle, in the center of Italy.

The preamp uses a selection of carefully selected tubes: 4 x 6922 miniature double triodes, 6DJ8 miniature double triode/ECC88 double triode. Inputs – one balanced XLR and 4 unbalanced (RCA). The declared frequency response is 5-40 kHz with an unevenness of 3 dB, and the THD + noise parameter should be no worse than 0.1% (20 Hz – 20 kHz). Signal-to-noise ratio: > 90 dB (A-weighted).

Synthesis believes that the Roma 117DC is a perfect match for the branded Roma 98DC monoblocks, though it could be a suitable companion for many brands of amps. It comes in a custom finish (pictured with a Red Wood finish) and comes with a remote control.

Luigi Lorenzo and his team at Synthesis are celebrating the brand’s 30th anniversary and promising new products with an unwavering commitment to innovative design.

Synthesis Roma 117DC is available in Wood (Red), Piano Black, Dark (Brown Wood), Aluminium, Black or Silver, other finishes available upon request.
