Things to Know

  • ⚠Rear panel is extremely crowded; thick XLR cables can be difficult to unplug.
  • ⚠The 'clicking' sound of the volume relays is audible inside the chassis when changing volume (normal but surprising to new users).
  • ⚠Display menu system is somewhat cryptic (abbreviations like 'H-G' for High Gain).

Reviews

“The L70 innovates with wonderful new front panel and incredible power and low noise and distortion... Nice features like R2R relay control solves the problem of analog volume controls causing channel mismatch.”

“L70 sounds fuller and warmer in the midrange [than the A30 Pro], all tones feel fuller and the vocals are bigger and closer.”
