Boasting one of the best and most flexible user interfaces in the high end, the VK-53SE features myriad customizable options ranging from dimming to fading and source-naming. The VK-53SE can also be fully upgraded to the Rex II preamplifier. And, you can always get the volume just right. It employs a proprietary electronic shunt volume attenuator that offers 140 steps of 0.5dB resolution. Discrete metal film resistors bleed the unused signal to ground. From the deepest bass, to extraordinary dynamics, as well as a greater sense of layered transparency, the VK-53SE is your new reference.
