{"product_id":"clearaudionanophonov2hbl","title":"Clearaudio Nano Phono Headphone V2, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio Nano Phono Headphone V2 is a compact phono preamp for MM and MC cartridges with a built-in headphone amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes in the signal from your cartridge and passes it on either to your system or directly to your headphones — handy when the record still needs to spin at half past ten and the rest of the household sees it differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Nano Phono Headphone V2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort signal paths, a solid aluminium housing against interference, a stepless level control — and, in addition, a genuine headphone amplifier with a 3.5 mm jack on the front. MM\/MC mode, load impedance and the switchable subsonic filter are all set via jumpers on the underside. The RCA output remains available throughout: you don't have to choose between your system and your headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough headphones: a direct, immediate reproduction with a calm background — 81 dB of signal-to-noise ratio in MM mode really shows in quiet passages, where a noise floor would otherwise like to tag along. Voices sit tangibly in your head, bass stays controlled rather than bloated. Surprisingly mature for a housing 85 millimetres wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Nano Phono Headphone V2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants to listen to vinyl through headphones without adding a second device — and for anyone whose amplifier lacks a usable phono input. To be blunt: very low-impedance or extremely insensitive high-end headphones won't push this small amp to its limits — for those, a dedicated headphone amplifier is the right place to look. And important to know: the headphone output is fed from the phono input. You can't connect a CD player or streamer here — for that you need a headphone amp with a high-level input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo devices in one housing, without either one feeling like an afterthought. If you mostly listen to your turntable in the evening, and quietly, this is the most elegant solution in the Nano family: compact, flexible, and without an extra box in the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e phono preamp for MM and MC cartridges with built-in headphone amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 dB (MM) \/ 54 dB (MC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kΩ \/ 220 pF (MM), selectable via jumper (MC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMode:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM\/MC switchable via jumper on the underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRIAA accuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e ± 0.4 dB (20 Hz – 50 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 81 dB (A) for MM \/ 70 dB (A) for MC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 0.04%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 80 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput level:\u003c\/strong\u003e continuously adjustable, max. 10 V RMS at 1 kHz (RCA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone output:\u003c\/strong\u003e present, 3.5 mm jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs and outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e unbalanced RCA, ground terminal, headphone jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubsonic filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e switchable via jumper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e anodised aluminium, black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e external power supply, ± 18 V DC \/ 300 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e max. 2.3 W, standby \u0026lt; 0.3 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 85 × 25 × 106 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 500 g (preamp with power supply)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e phono preamp, external power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat headphone connection does the Nano Phono Headphone V2 have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3.5 mm jack, fed by its own headphone amplifier inside the housing. Headphones with a 6.3 mm plug connect via a simple adapter.

The RCA output goes to a free high-level input on your amplifier — AUX, CD, tuner or line — never to a phono input. Your system and your headphones aren't mutually exclusive, so there's no cable-swapping circus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a CD player or streamer to the headphone amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The headphone output is fed exclusively from the phono input; there's no high-level input. If you also want to listen to digital sources through headphones, you'll need an additional headphone amp with a line input — we'll show you suitable models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMM or MC — how do I set it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVia the jumpers on the underside. There you select the mode, the load impedance for moving coil systems, and the subsonic filter.
