Instead, there's a large, extra-thick, triangular glass protuberance that extends dramatically below the chassis's vertical dimension. That's where you'll find an "on/off" button, the main unit's only physical switch.
A 4.3" TFT capacitive touch screen incorporated within that triangular glass panel controls all this preamp's functionality. The pushbutton remote control duplicates many but not all operations. More about that later.

The \"Bowers\" in the name of British manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) refers to founder John Bowers, whom I got to know fairly well before he passed in 1987.
