A device containing two fully balanced phono preamplifiers
The new balance reference phono was developed especially for vinyl enthusiasts, with fully independent phono inputs for connecting moving coil and moving magnet cartridges. It gives you complete freedom to select balanced (XLR) or single-ended (RCA) inputs and outputs with the full flexibility to match the input impedance for most cartridges.
The sophisticated volume and input circuitry can be accessed with the supplied remote control. The high-performance design provides 2 headphone connections. A dual mono power supply housed in its own dedicated aluminum chassis ensures the highest sound quality.
The balance reference phono is truly a world class phono preamp for analog aficionados.
