{"product_id":"clearaudionanophonov2si","title":"Clearaudio Nano Phono V2 Phono Preamp, Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clearaudio Nano Phono V2 is a compact phono preamp for MM and MC cartridges with continuously adjustable output level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn silver, the little aluminium block looks pleasantly unobtrusive — which is handy, since it's happy sitting right next to the turntable. Its job: turn the tiny signal from your cartridge into a clean, high-level signal, without leaving any signature of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Nano Phono V2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause nothing here was skimped on in the wrong place. The milled aluminium housing keeps interference out, signal paths stay short, and the stepless level control brings the output exactly to the level your amplifier likes — up to 10 volts RMS, if it's a bit hard of hearing. MM or MC operation and the load impedance are set via jumpers on the underside, and the subsonic filter is switched right alongside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA calm background and dynamic, direct access: 81 dB signal-to-noise in MM and RIAA accuracy of ± 0.4 dB are why voices stay solid and cymbals don't blur. Low end comes dry rather than mushy. The Nano shows you what your cartridge can do — for better or worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Nano Phono V2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor beginners with a good turntable, for anyone with an amplifier without a usable phono input, and for anyone who's run out of rack space. To be blunt: if you're already running a high-end MC cartridge, step up a level — Smart Phono V2 or Basic V2. And if you want to plug headphones in directly, reach for the Headphone variant instead; this model has no headphone jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of technology in a small footprint, without showing off: flexible with cartridges, quiet enough for quiet music, and robust enough to simply keep working for years. The Nano is the unfussy answer to why vinyl through the built-in phono input has never quite clicked before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Small and affordable, very flexible, electrically and mechanically spot-on, sonically a compelling performer focused on the essentials.\"\u003c\/em\u003e – FIDELITY (Michael Vrzal), 2016\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\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\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 not present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs and outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e unbalanced RCA, ground terminal\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\u003eWhich input does the Nano Phono V2 go into?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA free high-level input — AUX, CD, tuner or line. Never a phono input: there, the signal would be equalised and amplified a second time, and then even the best pressing sounds like a tin can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set the Nano up for my cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the jumpers on the underside, you select MM or MC, the load impedance for moving-coil cartridges, and the subsonic filter. Tell us your cartridge and we'll give you the right configuration — saving you the guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Nano Phono V2 have a headphone output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This model passes its signal to the system exclusively via RCA. For listening directly through headphones, there's the otherwise identical Nano Phono Headphone V2, which additionally has a built-in headphone amplifier with a 3.5 mm jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow loud can the output be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum 10 volts RMS at 1 kHz, and you can turn this level down continuously. That means the Nano suits quiet MC cartridges just as well as loud MM cartridges, without your amplifier immediately hitting its limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Nano Phono V2 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause years of experience tell us which phono stage suits which cartridge — and because you have a contact person here in Wädenswil if the chain ever hums.
