Description
Yes, tone control. As in, equalizer. And yeah, we know that tone controls have kinda fallen off the planet for the last few decades. But we decided to bring them back with the original Loki Mini. And now, with the Loki Mini+, we’ve boosted the performance—pushing the boundaries super-high-fidelity, low noise, single-discrete-gain-stage, LC-filtered, affordable equalizers even further.
Making Imperfect Recordings Sound…A Whole Heckuva Lot Better
Let’s face it. Is everything you listen to recorded perfectly? Of course not. Some recordings aren’t paragons of tonal purity. And your system…let’s be honest. Some speakers and headphones are a bit bright or a bit dark. Loki Mini+ lets you adjust for these imperfections.
It’s OK to Want
Forget correcting for bad recordings or imperfect systems. Go ahead and make your system sound exactly the way you want it. Pounding bass? Sure. Crystalline highs? Absolutely. Don’t spend thousands on cables and tube amps—just turn a knob and make your system sound exactly the way you want it.
The Silent and Transparent Companion
Loki Mini+ transforms your system without getting in the way, or making itself known. Forget noisy, bad-sounding equalizers you may have used in the past. Loki Mini+ uses a single, discrete, current-feedback gain stage, coupled to passive LC filters for 3 bands, plus a gyrator for the bass. It also uses sealed Alps potentiometers with rational adjustment ranges to allow for fine control. Coupled with a 100% passive bypass setting, Loki Mini+ offers the transparency and flexibility you need.
Designed and Built in California
By “designed and built in California” this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Loki Mini+—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our facility. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us, or done in NorCal. Yes, the wall-warts are made in China, but there’s some give and take at this price point.
2-Year Warranty and 14 day Return Policy
Loki is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for two years. That’s 2x the coverage of most amps in this price range. And, if you don’t like your Loki, you can still send it back for a refund, within 14 days of receiving your amp.

I have I have the Loki in my system now for little over year. And I have to say It’s amazing! Most of the time I have it on bypass and it is completely silent. But sometimes you get a album which needs tweaking en then i use the Loki for emphasizing or trimming down certain frequencies. It does wonders, the only thing i don’t like it’s the white led. It’s so bright, you could use it as a flashlight.

Właśnie dostałem ten mały i sprytny sprzęt, podłączyłem pomiędzy napęd CD a wzmacniacz i nie mogę się oderwać od dobrej zabawy.
Przede wszystkim to malutkie i nie zabiera dużo miejsca ale daje duze możliwości ustawienia korekcji pod swój gust. Genialnie dobrane częstotliwości pozwalają na dużo pomimo tego, że jest ich tylko cztery. Do tego przełącznik wyłączający korekcję i pozwalający momentalnie usłyszeć zmiany jeś bardzo dobrym pomysłem.
Właściwie miałem zamiar kupić Lokius ale na początek wziąłem Loki Mini+ i dobrze zrobiłem, więcej mi nie potrzeba.
Jeśli miałbym się do czegoś przyczepić na siłę, to mile widziałbym wyłącznik główny z przodu, byłoby wygodniej. No ale to drobiazg, poza tym jest świetnie.
