PRODUCT STORY

Clear, Low-Noise Phono Performance

The PP 2e provides a low-noise gain stage for both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, helping vinyl playback sound clean and engaging. Its precision RIAA equalisation preserves tonal accuracy from track to track, allowing the music’s character to come through naturally. A gentle infrasonic filter helps reduce unwanted rumble, supporting smooth, stable playback.

Designed for Flexible System Integration

The PP 2e supports a wide range of cartridges and uses a straightforward line-level output to pair easily with modern amplifiers and receivers. The external 24-volt power supply contributes to quiet, consistent performance, while gold-plated input sockets ensure a secure electricalc onnection. These features make it simple to add dedicated phono capability to systems that lack a built-in phono stage.

Compact Design with Thoughtful Power Management

Auto Power Down reduces energy consumption by switching the PP 2e into standby when it’s not in use. Its compact form fits neatly alongside typical turntable setups without requiring extra shelf space. These practical details make the PP 2e an easy addition to a wide range of vinyl systems.
