Black Cube Statement
The Black Cube Statement is the entry-level model in the Black Cube series. With the usual high-grade quality of workmanship and the sophisticated circuit design, this phono preamp is only just inferior to its larger siblings, however, it saves your budget!

The Black Cube Statement will impress you – no matter if you are a newbie to the high-end sector or a returner. Your favourite LPs shine in new splendour and new acquisitions really come into their own now. That way collecting records is truly great fun again!

The Lehmannaudio Black Cube Statement has been introduced to set standards again. Since the market introduction in 1995 the Black Cube phono stages by Lehmannaudio have become cult objects for analogue oriented music lovers. Countless positive reviews and awards on all five continents as well as an unrivalled customer satisfaction worldwide document this truly exceptional success.

The Lehmannaudio Black Cube Statement phono stage is compatible with practically all available cartridges on the market from high output MM to MC. Apart from the standard switch settings there is one onboard slot that can be fitted with a custom impedance to supply perfect termination even for the most exotic cartridges.

The Black Cube Statement uses a double-sided circuit board and comprises audiophile Burr Brown gain stages. The entirely passive RIAA equalisation network is realised with high precision foil capacitors, for bass coupling even MKPs are used! Only Low ESR electrolytic caps are used throughout the circuit. All resistors are of the low noise metal film variety. The DIP-switches for gain and load settings have gold plated contacts. Power is provided through an external over dimensioned AC adaptor.

Because of the small outer dimensions, the Black Cube SE can be placed next to the turntable. This minimises loss due to cable lengths.

Lehmannaudio always pays special attention to details: the case of both the audio section is made of non-magnetic material (aluminium) and is equipped with a top cover coated with a special anti-resonance treatment.

Black Cube Statement Review

"We were very taken by this little amp, especially with a moving magnet cartridge as source. Its sound is open and quick, with very good insight and also excellent extension at both frequency extremes, and its lack of hum and low noise level are also welcome."

Black Cube Statement Review

"...it is very clear sounding and beautifully detailed. Its tonally neutral with any cartridge type, its treble is notably sweet with no sense of constriction or roll-offs while the bass is solid but never overblown."

Black Cube Statement Review

"You can certainly tell that phono preamps are Lehmann’s specialty when putting it through its paces. Instruments and vocals sounded accurate, having a ‘studio-like’ honesty."

The Black Cube has branched into several iterations and versions over the years, resulting in a range that is sure to meet your requirements whatever your need. But the consistently impressive thing about Lehmannaudio phonostages is their size; boasting a compact footprint that allows them to be flexibly placed in full HiFi systems and desktop set-ups alike, these phono stages punch well above their weight, offering performance similar to some much more expensive models.
