Vincent Audio SA-32MK Hybrid Stereo Preamplifier

Vincent SA-32MK: Tube Character, Now With Bluetooth

The Vincent SA-32MK is a hybrid stereo preamplifier with four 6N16 tubes in its signal path. It is the updated version of Vincent's SA-32, and it keeps that model's circuit while adding a built-in Bluetooth receiver.

Balanced XLR and RCA connections cover your sources and your power amplifier. It comes in Black or Silver.

Four 6N16 Tubes

Four 6N16 tubes process the audio signal. Vincent says they give the SA-32MK its signature sound, with high dynamics and musicality.

Bluetooth Built In

Pair a phone, tablet or computer and stream music straight to your system. Select input S1, search for "Vincent" on your device, and connect.

Tone Controls You Can Bypass

Bass and treble dials let you shape the sound, and the TONE button takes them out of the signal path entirely. A GAIN button cuts the output by 8 dB when your power amplifier is very sensitive.

How the SA-32MK Fits Your System

The SA-32MK needs a power amplifier. Two RCA pre-out pairs and one balanced XLR pre-out make bi-amping easy, and a fixed-level RCA record output feeds a recorder.

Four RCA inputs and one balanced XLR input take line-level sources. Two 3.5 mm power-control outputs switch a compatible amplifier on and off with the preamp.

What it will not do: it has no phono stage, so a turntable needs a separate phono preamp. It has no DAC or digital inputs; Bluetooth is its only wireless or digital source.

Who Is This Preamplifier Best For?

• Tube fans on a sensible budget — a hybrid design with four 6N16 tubes.
• Bi-amp builders — three pre-outputs, one of them balanced.
• Casual streamers — Bluetooth lets guests play from their phones.
• Vincent system owners — power-control outputs switch a Vincent amplifier with the preamp.
• Not for — anyone who needs a built-in phono stage, DAC or network streaming.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

• Connect the XLR or RCA pre-outs to your power amplifier.
• Plug line-level sources into the RCA inputs or the XLR input.
• Screw on the included Bluetooth antenna and pair your device on input S1.
• Optionally, link a compatible amplifier with the included 3.5 mm power-control cable.

The SA-32MK comes in Black or Silver.

Pairs Well With

Complete your separates system:

• Stereo power amplifiers — the SA-32MK needs one to drive your speakers.
• Phono preamplifiers — to add a turntable on a line input.
• Interconnect cables — balanced XLR or RCA.
• Floorstanding speakers — a natural fit for a bi-amped system.
