The Clearaudio Basic V2 is a high-gain, minimalist phono preamplifier that evolves the award-winning "Plus" technology of its predecessor. Housed in a sleek, resonance-shielding aluminum chassis, it is engineered to be a "plug-and-play" solution for high-end cartridges while offering deep refinement for audiophiles.
Key Features
- High-Gain Versatility: Capable of handling almost any Moving Magnet (MM) or Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with high gain stages (+46dB for MM and +66dB for MC).
- Dual-Mono Layout: The internal circuitry follows a dual-mono configuration to ensure exceptional channel separation and a realistic, wide soundstage.
- Ultra-Precise RIAA: Features highly accurate RIAA equalization within ±0.1 dB, providing a near-perfect linear frequency response across the audible spectrum.
- Minimalist Interface: Features a single visible power switch on the top, with all critical configuration switches (MM/MC and Subsonic filter) tucked away on the underside to prevent accidental changes.
- Switchable Subsonic Filter: Includes an optional filter for each channel to attenuate low-frequency rumble and noise below 20Hz without affecting the musical range.
