Leema Acoustics

Pulse III

Beautiful to look at and to listen to, the original multi-award winning Stream and Pulse models proved to be a huge success, providing an unbeatable combination of outstanding sound quality, superb build quality, styling and ergonomics.  The new mark III versions took this solid foundation as a starting point to re-define what is achievable, with even better performance, stunning contemporary looks and a vast array of must-have features.

Both the Pulse III amplifier and the Stream III CD player feature four digital inputs, two optical, one coaxial and one USB, allowing the connection of external digital components.  Leema's award-winning performance can now be enhance a whole range of digital sources such as digital satellite receivers, Sonos™ music systems, Sony PS3™ and DVD players etc., while a USB digital interface enables high quality replay from computer and bit-perfect digital archiving.  The Pulse III is easily capable of driving today's audiophile speakers with subtlety, vice-like grip and extreme precision.  It builds upon the strengths of its predecessor - expanding the already flexible array of inputs and outputs and housing the amplifier in an elegant new coat and fascia machined from billet aluminium.  Additional features include full remote control with volume display, a high quality headphone amplifier, and for total peace of mind, full short circuit, thermal and fault protection.
