Clearaudio Balance V2 Phono Preamp

Balance V2 is a high-performance phono stage engineered to extract the full detail, dynamics, and realism from your vinyl collection. Designed and manufactured in Germany, it combines Clearaudio’s advanced analogue circuitry with elegant industrial design to deliver reference-level performance for serious vinyl systems.

At the core of the Balance V2 is a fully symmetrical circuit topology and extremely precise RIAA equalization, ensuring exceptional accuracy and tonal balance. The phono stage supports both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, automatically adapting to a wide range of cartridge types while maintaining low noise and superb channel separation.

The Balance V2 also offers impressive flexibility. Balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs and outputs allow seamless integration with a variety of high-end systems, while the built-in headphone amplifier with 6.3 mm output provides a direct and highly resolving listening option. A variable volume control even allows the unit to function as a compact analogue control centre when connected directly to a power amplifier or active speakers.

A precision-milled aluminium chassis protects the sensitive circuitry from vibration and interference, while the external power supply further isolates the audio path for improved clarity and dynamic range.

Combining sophisticated engineering with intuitive operation, the Clearaudio Balance V2 is an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking a phono stage that delivers both exceptional musical transparency and system flexibility.
