Canor Asterion V2

Tube Phono Preamplifier

Premium Line

The CANOR Asterion V2 stands out as a top-of-the-line preamplifier for turntables, employing all-tube technology to deliver unparalleled performance. It's designed to work seamlessly with both MM and MC phono cartridges, making it a versatile choice for audiophiles who demand the best.

Highlights

A legitimate balanced XLR input and output, with true differential circuitry

All-tube turntable preamplifier that works with both MM and MC phono cartridges

Precise selection and matching of tubes with exceptional parameters

Main Features

For both MM and MC

The Canor Asterion V2 phono preamplifier is a versatile device, capable of accommodating both MM and MC cartridges. With no interference between the two, users can connect both types simultaneously. The MM and MC options are easy to select and set up thanks to the simple and intuitive front panel buttons, making the Asterion V2 a user-friendly and efficient choice.

Power transformer

To eliminate mechanical hum, the transformer core undergoes vacuum impregnation and is encapsulated in a special anti-vibration compound. Furthermore, the transformer is enclosed in a sturdy, welded cover that provides excellent electromagnetic shielding and enhances the signal-to-noise ratio.
To prevent interference from external voltage sources, the primary and secondary windings are separated by a copper foil shield with a 50% overlap.

Separated signal paths

The Asterion V2 features strictly separated signal paths for both channels with separated filtration of the power voltage. The voltage stabilization is made separately for the right and left channels to improve channel separation and minimize noise and interference for a cleaner and more accurate sound.

Settings

The Asterion V2 allows intuitive and easy adjustment of the gain, loading and capacitance settings to match the specific characteristics of the used phono cartridge, which helps to optimize performance and maximize sound quality.

CMT ™™ technology

The Asterion V2 utilizes our advanced CMT TM technology (CANOR ® PCB Milling Technology) for optimal performance. The CMTT™ technology allows us to get the dielectric loss factors (loss tangent) of PCB close to the loss factor of air. Thanks to this technology we managed to get repeatedly to the parameter level of the so-called "wire-to-wire connections".
