Balance V2 MM-MC

As listening maturity increases, so do the demands of analog music lovers. Exactly this eloquent target group is dedicated to the innovative preamp balance V2. The successor to the balance + offers some interesting settings and control options for individual sound optimization, but remains puristic in design and intuitively manageable in terms of usability.

The new balance V2 is not only visually reminiscent of the excellence of the absolute phono preamplifier, but also the quality, features and processing of each individual component are proof of the highest audio competence. This begins with the precision-milled housings made of solid aluminum, which is also available in black anodised on request. The phono preamp provides outputs for headphones with 6.3-millimeter jack as well as XLR and RCA, which can be occupied in parallel.

The RCA inputs and outputs are characterized by their high quality gold plating and thus extremely precise, trouble-free signal transmission. There is a switch on the bottom of the phono preamp body to select between XLR and RCA input. At the same place are the switch between MM and MC operation.

This allows audiophile users to customize the preamp to their personal set-up - whether Moving Magnet or Moving Coil technology for sound pickup. Other setting options are the volume control, which is manually on the front of the balance V2 possible and can also be switched by pressing a button on mute or automatic.

In this mode, the output level is at maximum power. Like the basic V2, the balance V2 features the pickup adjustment to play a variety of available on the market MM / MC pickup without further settings. The high-precision RIAA equalization achieves a record value of less than 0.1 decibel accuracy. The switchable Subsonic filter suppresses particularly low frequencies in order to additionally optimize the detail accuracy of the reproduction. Potentially disturbing mains frequencies are prevented by the external power supply in a separate aluminum housing as well as by grounding via ground connection.
