Description
Discrete Amplification
- Discrete components instead of operational amplifiers, specifically tuned for sensitive phono signals.
- Low-noise, low-distortion processing down to the finest details, even with quiet MC cartridges.
Fully Symmetrical Dual-Mono Design
- Symmetrical signal path from input to output; separate processing of both signal halves and stereo channels.
- Differential interference suppression, high channel separation, and low noise floor.
- Symmetrical XLR and unsymmetrical RCA connections.
Passive RIAA and DECCA Equalization
- Distributed passive frequency correction across multiple amplifier stages for precise response curves and uniform signal processing.
- RIAA for standard records, DECCA for historically recorded recordings produced accordingly.
Flexible MM/MC Adjustment
- Four-stage gain for each: MM 40–50 dB, MC 60–70 dB; an additional 6 dB via XLR.
- MC terminating resistor continuously adjustable from 10 to 1,000 ohms, also comparable during playback.
- Eight MM input capacitances from 50 to 400 pF.
- Switchable balance control: ±2 dB for balancing channel levels and achieving a centered stereo image.
Robust Metal Enclosure
- Steel enclosure with bolted aluminum panels to shield against electromagnetic interference.
- Understated design for integration into sophisticated Hi-Fi systems.
External Power Supply
- Standard external power supply to spatially separate the power supply from the sensitive amplifier electronics.
- Optional linear power supplies with transformers and filter stages for stable, low-noise operation.
- Power Box RS2 Phono: additionally powers a compatible Pro-Ject turntable.
- Alternatively compatible: Power Box RS Uni 1-way and 4-way.
