The Elite Integrated is an offspring of Quad’s ‘closest approach to the original sound’ philosophy and combines all the virtues possessed by the Elite Pre and Stereo power amplifier in one single chassis. A selection of input and output connections and functions are available in the Elite Integrated complemented by a QuadlinkTM terminal located at the rear of the unit that serves as a communication link and provides balanced signal transmission from the Elite CDS CD player and/or the Elite FM Tuner - an indulgence for audiophiles demanding simplicity in operation.
