AEA RPQ3 & SNAQBOX
Your Favorite Ribbon Preamp — Now in 500 Series
The RPQ503 is the next evolution in AEA’s trusted lineage of high-impedance, high-gain preamplifiers.
Based on the 3rd Generation circuit design of AEA’s celebrated RPQ3, the RPQ503 brings the same rich and natural sound to the 500 Series Format. Featuring a powerful combination of ultra-low noise, low-distortion op-amps, ultra-high 68KΩ input impedance, and 85dB of clean gain, the RPQ503 delivers exceptional clarity and detail. More than just a preamp, the RPQ503 also includes the expanded EQ section of the RPQ3, with boost and cut controls for both low and high end, on custom, compact, dual-concentric potentiometers.
At once open and transparent but equally responsive and dynamic, the RPQ503 is a versatile tool for the front end of any signal path.

The AEA Snaqbox™ is a transparent, two-channel, 500-series chassis with separate dual linear regulators for each channel, ensuring complete power isolation between 500 units. The unit is powered by an external switching power supply to keep switching noise away from the unit.
The acrylic sideplate of the unit comes in either clear or fluorescent orange. The chassis is made of steel and the bottom of the Snaqbox™ is affixed with durable rubber bumpers. All XLRs on the Snaqbox™ are Neutrik brand. Five ¼” flathead 4-40 screws are included with every unit.
The Snaqbox™ features a LINK/CASCADE switch. When engaged, the audio output of Channel 1 is internally routed to the input of Channel 2. The link switch disconnects the connection from the XLR input of Channel 2, but does not disconnect the output of Channel 1 (thus allowing dry and wet outputs).
