How can simplicity and complexity be balanced? Clearaudio effortlessly achieves this in their balance plus phono stage, and the new balance V2 builds upon its technology while maintaining perfect equilibrium. On one hand, the design remains elegantly uncomplicated and operation is intuitively simple. However, the balance V2 also offers a range of options to fine-tune performance according to your specific system and preferences.
The sleek casing of the balance V2 is meticulously crafted from precision-milled aluminium, available in an anodized black finish as well. In addition to the standard RCA outputs, it features balanced XLR outputs and a 6.3mm headphone output. All RCA inputs and outputs are gold-plated, ensuring exceptional signal transmission.
Apart from the manual volume control, you can effortlessly switch between mute and automatic mode using a button. A simple toggle allows you to select either moving magnet or moving coil mode. Once chosen, the balance V2 will automatically adapt to virtually any high-end phono cartridge without the need for further adjustments.
With high precision RIAA equalization boasting an accuracy of within 0.1 dB and an optional subsonic filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise, the balance V2 achieves exceptional performance. To minimize interference, a separate power supply is housed in its own aluminium casing.
