gain is optimally set so that the finest details are faithfully retrieved from
vinyl records and delivered with the exhilarating and involving musical reality
for which Exposure Electronics have become renowned.

About Exposure Electronics…
Exposure
Electronics has been committed to engineering real hi-fi at real-world prices
since 1974. Back then, the original Exposure products were born out of founder
John Farlowe's obsession for the excellent reproduction of recorded music which
he nurtured while working in studios with the likes of David Bowie and Pink
Floyd.
Much may have
changed in 39 years but Exposure’s focus has remained on producing great hi-fi
that delivers hair-raising and spine-tingling listening experiences. Exposure
hi-fi is still designed in the United Kingdom, since 2000 by fellow Brighton-based
hi-fi engineer Tony Brady, who has known John Farlowe since 1979. For 39 years Exposure products have been
designed developed and engineered using highly specified components by people
who are obsessed with stereo sound reproduction, passionate about music and are
built. All Exposure products except the
1010 series are still made In the United Kingdom.
The understated
look of the finished products reflects traditional simplicity and elegance.
The
signature Exposure sound, however, is something else. There is delicacy in the
upper ranges and openness in the mid range, underpinned by deep yet agile bass
that dances along. Hi-fi critics have praised Exposure for offering rightness
in sound by combining the speed and precision of the best solid-state designs
with a touch of the sweetness of valves. So, to put it simply, the engineering
and design philosophy is to make hi-fi that gets on with the task of
reproducing music while the equipment itself hides in the background. This is
cool, since most people prefer to listen to their music rather than the hi-fi. Exposure is available throughout most of the
World via a network of specialist shops run by people who know a thing or two
about the complex relationship between people, hi-fi and music.
