Bakoon Products SCL CAP-1007 Small Preamp

Condensed SATRI technology. Powered by a mobile battery, providing noiseless, straightforward sound without coloration.

The CAP series was born to produce a high-quality music life in a size that just fits in a narrow space. The CAP-1007 is designed to play back all the music information even at low volume in a studio where you are concerned about your neighbors.Bakoon ProductsWe have generously incorporated our proud SATRI circuit technology.

Pursuit of sound quality through non-feedback line control

• Powerful buffer amplifier: A powerful buffer amplifier HBFBC is used for the output to minimize sound deterioration.
• Straightforward sound without coloration: The amplifier circuit uses no feedback, so there is almost no change in distortion from 20Hz to 50kHz. This proves how straightforward the CAP-1007's sound is.
• Precise signal selection: Relays with a mechanical life of over 100 million cycles are used to select signals. Frequency characteristics are also guaranteed up to the MHz band, preventing signal deterioration.

Complete input system and convenience

• Equipped with 6 inputs: Equipped with 6 input systems. Switch the input signal with INPUT SELECTOR.
• INPUT 1~4: RCA terminal on the back.
• INPUT 5/6: Phone jacks on front and rear panels respectively.
• Convenient for mobile devices: The front panel phone jack is very convenient for connecting signals from mobile devices such as smartphones.
• Centralized control at your fingertips: By having the CAP-1007 close at hand, you can control switching between multiple music sources such as CD players and DVD players, and adjust the volume, greatly improving convenience.

Noiseless playback powered by mobile battery

• DC5V drive: Use the included USB cable for the DC5V INPUT. For the power source, you can use a mobile USB charger or a mobile battery.
• Eliminate noise interference: By using a mobile battery, you are not affected by noise from commercial power sources. This allows the CAP-1007 to operate in its optimal condition.
• Long playback time: With a current consumption of 5V/250mA, a 10Ah mobile battery allows for approximately 40 hours of use.

Highly refined design condensed into an ultra-compact body

The CAP-1007 incorporates six input channels within a compact chassis less than 20cm, while both usability and functionality are very well organized. Weighing only about 470g, it is extremely lightweight, yet the rubber grips on the bottom effectively enhance stability after placement. Even when paired with the CAP-1001 power amplifier, it fits on a desktop, offering great flexibility in placement.

Overwhelming quietness provided by battery operation

An essential feature when discussing the sound quality of the CAP-1007 is the complete elimination of power noise thanks to battery operation. The background is astonishingly quiet, and the high S/N ratio surpasses that of typical high-end preamplifiers. The sound is exceptionally clear, without any haze or coloration. From very low to very high signals, there is no loss of information, consistently delivering high-fidelity playback.

Neutral sound without coloration and high resolution

Extremely neutral, without imparting any specific character to the tone. Possibly due to the adoption of the HBFBC buffer amplifier, there is no perceptible signal deterioration or distortion, allowing the dynamic and frequency range to stand out. The reproduction of weak signals is also high, with clear attack and decay, making the contours of the music sharply defined.

Excellent drive capability to bring out the power amplifier's performance

When paired with a power amplifier like the CAP-1001, which has a relatively low input impedance, the true value of the CAP-1007 becomes clear. By inserting the highly capable CAP-1007, the sound transforms, gaining more immediacy and evolving into a natural, lively expression. You get a sense of volume and stability that belies its 6W/ch class, and depending on the efficiency of the speakers, effortless playback becomes possible.

A unit that expands the potential of small, lightweight amplifiers

The CAP-1007 is a rare device that, despite being small, lightweight, and affordably priced, fully fulfills its role as a serious preamplifier. Even without special speakers or large-scale systems, it significantly enhances the freshness, clarity, and immediacy of the music. It can be said to be the model that most clearly embodies the CAP series’ concept of “small but uncompromising sound.”
