Overview

When using a Moving Coil cartridge, rather than a Moving Magnet, the phonostage amplification becomes even more important. Clearaudio are well versed in MC applications, as highlighted in the design of this Reference (in name and nature) phonostage. 

The power supply is totally isolated from the low-voltage input signal and all-important output stage, housed in a well-shielded chassis, are two separate 100w power supplies to drive each channel. 

Gain is switchable internally, providing between 30 and 57.3 db at 17 steps to help fine tune and match to your amplifier. 

A subsonic filter also accessible internally, is included but currently disabled.

Clearaudio understand how negatively hum can interfere with vinyl enjoyment and so have included a rather smart grounding arrangement to assist in reducing the noise level, totally separated EARTH/Ground connections between the EARTH (CASE/ housing) and PCB GND (electrical circuit). An additional EARTH connection is also available at the external power supply.
