ECP 2 MKII PHONO STAGE

With the renewed international enthusiasm for the vinyl format, a world-class phono preamplifier or RIAA stage is more important in a reference setup than ever before.

The ECP2-MKII has become a new favorite of reviewers and enthusiasts alike. A benchmark product in its price bracket, much like other Electrocompaniet products.
It incorporates state-of-the-art instrumentation and operational amplifiers and highest quality discrete components in the signal path. Of course it is all DC coupled.

The ECP2-MKII introduces new chassis and front plate design, in line with our other products in the Classic Line.
It will make your vinyl records sing like no other phono preamplifier we know of, and it seems the industry agrees with us.

ADJUSTABLE GAIN

The ECP2-MKII can accommodate any imaginable pickup, MM or MC thanks to its extremely configurable input stage, adjustable gain and the ECP 2 MKII is strictly matched to the RIAA curve.

BALANCED AUDIO

ECP 2 MKII incorporates state-of-the-art instrumentation and operational amplifiers and highest quality discrete components in the signal path. Of course it is all DC coupled.

 

 

EXPERTS SAYS

"...It wears all kinds of music and will be able to lift the sound from the vinyl collection significantly, compared to a built-in phono stage. At the same time, it is also so flexible that you can keep it for many years, no matter what electrical properties the pickup may have...."

"This is an excellent phono-stage for those looking to spend around £2000, but with a performance that matches phono-stages far higher in cost. Having a choice of balanced output is also a bonus. By having microswitches not only keeps costs down but also keeps that lovely minimalist front. I would certainly recommend you audition this model but make sure you spend time setting it up correctly." - Janine Elliot
