{"product_id":"clearaudionanophonov2hsi","title":"Clearaudio Nano Phono Headphone V2, Silver","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\u003eIn silver, the little aluminium block looks the part next to most turntables — and functionally it suits anyone who wants to keep listening to records even when the big system is better left off. Headphones in, stylus down, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Nano Phono Headphone V2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it handles the entire chain between cartridge and ear in a single housing. The phono stage applies RIAA equalisation to ± 0.4 dB accuracy, the built-in headphone amplifier drives via a 3.5 mm jack, and the stepless level control determines how loud it gets. MM or MC, load impedance and the subsonic filter are all set via jumpers on the underside — set once correctly, and you'll never touch them again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA calm background and direct, dynamic access. Through headphones, what stands out most is how clean the Nano stays: voices are stable, cymbals don't disintegrate, low end stays dry. It doesn't push its own sound forward but shows you, pretty unforgivingly, what your cartridge can really do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Nano Phono Headphone V2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor vinyl listeners considerate of their neighbours, for second systems in the home office, and for anyone whose amplifier has no decent phono input. To be blunt: with very low-impedance or particularly quiet high-end headphones, the small amp reaches its limits — then a dedicated headphone amplifier belongs in the chain. And the headphone output is permanently tied to the phono input: you can't feed digital sources like a CD player or streamer in here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most elegant solution in the Nano family for anyone who mainly enjoys vinyl through headphones. Two functions in a palm-sized housing, neither implemented half-heartedly — and the RCA output still stays free for your system. So you don't have to choose, which is rare enough as it is.\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, silver\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 jack does the Nano Phono Headphone V2 have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3.5 mm jack, powered by its own headphone amplifier inside the aluminium housing. For headphones with a 6.3 mm plug, an adapter is all you need. You set the volume with the stepless level control — no separate headphone volume knob is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the unit still work with the system, without headphones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, of course. Via the RCA output, the signal goes to a high-level input on your amplifier — AUX, CD, tuner or line, but never a phono input. You can leave both connected in parallel and decide depending on the time of day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect other sources to the headphone amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, there is no high-level input. The headphone output is fed exclusively from the phono input and is therefore reserved for the turntable. For digital sources, you'll need a separate headphone amplifier with a line input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Nano suit my moving coil cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the vast majority of cases, yes: 54 dB of gain and the jumper-selectable load impedance cover common MC cartridges. For very low-output models, it's worth a quick chat with us before you order — that saves you any nasty surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Nano Phono Headphone V2 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you whether your cartridge and your headphones suit this unit — even when the honest answer is sometimes no.
