Analog entry with great sound – the Black Cube Statement

The Black Cube Statement is the entry-level model in the renowned Black Cube series and incorporates many design principles of its larger siblings. High-quality components, a well-thought-out circuit design, and typical Lehmannaudio craftsmanship ensure that your favorite LPs audibly blossom – whether you're new to vinyl hi-fi or returning after years.

High-quality components for neutral, detailed reproduction

Only carefully selected components are used in the signal path:

• Burr Brown amplifier stages
• High-quality, pulse-resistant film-foil capacitors in the passive RIAA network
• MKP capacitors for bass decoupling
• Low-ESR electrolytic capacitors
• Low-noise metal film resistors
• Switches with gold-plated contacts

The result is a very transparent, dynamic, and colorful reproduction, where impulses, timbres, and fine details reach the listener unadulterated.

Flexible for MM and MC cartridges

The Black Cube Statement is designed to operate virtually all common cartridges, from high-output MM to MC.

• Directly selectable input impedances: 47 kOhm, 1 kOhm, 100 Ohm
• One slot per channel for a selectable impedance (solder-free adjustment)
• Upon request (by phone or email), we will include suitable Lehmannaudio resistors free of charge with your order for optimal adjustment of your cartridge to the phono stage – this way you get the maximum out of your system.

Compact, robust, and thoughtfully constructed

Thanks to its small dimensions, the Black Cube Statement can be placed very close to the turntable – this reduces cable lengths and potential losses.

• Housing made of non-magnetic aluminum
• Mechanically damped lid
  This construction protects the sensitive phono signals from interference and contributes to a calm, clean sound.
