This is true of a moving magnet cartridge and especially true with a lower output moving coil cartridge. The job of a high-quality phono stage is to boost that delicate phono signal to realistic sound levels. The Basic V2 is a very high gain phono stage and one key to its excellent sound is eliminating all the potential sources of noise, typically caused by too many switches, knobs, and controls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is nothing basic about the Basic V2 phono stage. Its predecessor, the Basic Plus, was a multi-award winner and with the v2 we’ve taken all of that coveted ‘Plus’ technology up a notch. Don’t be fooled by its cool, minimalist design. Within that sleek aluminum casing (with silver or black anodized finish) lies an inner world of highly refined circuitry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the outside, we’ve kept it very simple. There’s just one visible control, a single power switch on the top and on the bottom, you can switch between moving coil or moving magnet mode and engage an optional subsonic filter that attenuates any unwanted low frequency noise. Cartridge loading is pre-set for our top MM and MC cartridges and the RIAA equalization accuracy is within 0.1dB.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e MM\/MC (Subsonic filter switchable)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplification @ 1khz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e +46 dB (MM mode) +66 dB (MC mode)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 47 kOhm \/ 270 pF \/ MM mode - 500 Ohm \/ 270 pF \/ MC mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMM\/MC input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e switchable (at bottom)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIAA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 75 μs \/ 318 μs \/ 3180 μs, 2 passive filter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIAA accuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ± 0.10 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u0026lt; 0.002% (IEC A)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to noise ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e -72 db (MM mode) -67 dB (MC mode)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u0026gt; 90 dB (@ 1 kHz)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax output voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u0026gt;10 V (@ 1 kHz)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubsonic filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 20 Hz (–18 dB \/ Oct.; switchable on bottom panel, on each channel)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Max. consumption in operation: 3 watts - Standby mode: Power supply ± 18 V DC (external power supply, 1.4m cable length)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput connections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Unbalanced (RCA)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approx. 1.2 kg (Preamp and power supply)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Preamp: 4.64 x 5.71 (6.22 with RCA) x 1.65 Power Supply: 3.94 x 2.17 x 3.46\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 3 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Music Room","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51268066312473,"sku":"0548newClearaudio","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":51268066345241,"sku":"0547newClearaudio","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/Clearaudio_Basic_V2_Phono_Stage_1.jpg?v=1769079267","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/clearaudio-basic-v2-phono-stage","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
