Consequently, it follows that to achieve this goal and retain the musicality of the original performance, the complexity of the circuitry itself must be kept to a minimum. To this end, the M2 preamplifier employs a single-ended, zero-feedback circuit topology. This design offers superior linearity, relies on pure Class A tube operation, and eliminates the need for phase splitters, which would otherwise introduce unwanted crossover distortion.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike much of the audio industry, our circuit designs aim to minimize non-harmonic and time-domain anomalies rather than simply achieving vanishingly low harmonic or intermodulation distortion figures. These non-harmonic amplitude and time-domain distortions have a highly audible, detrimental effect on the signal waveform; addressing them is far more important than engaging in the increasingly irrelevant numbers game of chasing &#8220;perfect&#8221; measured response.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, M2 is designed for maximum linearity and minimal transient distortion, avoiding the need for detrimental &#8220;corrective&#8221; measures such as inherently error-prone feedback loops.<\/p>\n<p>M2 line-level preamplifier features a 6SN7 line stage and a tube-rectified power supply utilizing the 6X5 and ECL82.<\/p>\n<p>M2 phono preamplifier features a 6SN7 line stage, ECC83 and 6DJ8 moving-magnet phono stages, and a tube-rectified power supply utilizing 6X5 and ECL82 tubes.<\/p>\n<p>M2 RIAA phono stage features an ECC83 and 6DJ8-based moving-magnet phono stage, along with a tube-rectified power supply utilizing 6X5 and ECL82 tubes.<\/p>\n<p>M2 \u7dda\u8def \u5e73\u8861\u524d\u7f6e\u653e\u5927\u5668\u5177\u6709\u4e00\u5c0d\u7528\u65bc\u7dda\u8def\u7d1a\u7684 5814a \u81bd \u548c\u4e00\u500b\u5305\u542b 6X5 \u548c ECL82 \u7684\u81bd\u6574\u6d41\u96fb\u6e90\u3002<\/p>\n<p>M2 line-level balanced preamplifier features a pair of 5814A tubes for the line stage and a tube-rectified power supply utilizing 6X5 and ECL82 tubes.<\/p>\n<p>The balanced version features a correctly designed and implemented balanced output circuit, including a pair of copper\/copper output transformers.<\/p>\n<h2>Technical specifications<\/h2>\n<p>Input Impedance: 100k Ohms \u2013 Line Level<\/p>\n<p>47k Ohm \u2013 Phono Stage<\/p>\n<p>Input sensitivity: 126 mV for 1 V output<\/p>\n<p>Output impedance&lt; 10 ohms<\/p>\n<p>Unit weight: 7 kg<\/p>\n<p>Unit dimensions: 140mm (H) x 295mm (W) x 450mm (D)<\/p>\n<p>Power Input: AC 100-120V \/ 220-240V, 50\/60Hz<\/p>\n<p>Note: Due to Audio Note (UK)&#8217;s ongoing research and development program, specifications are subject to change without notice.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 20px 0;\"><div class=\"qrcswholewtapper\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><div class=\"qrcprowrapper\"  id=\"qrcwraa2leds\"><div class=\"qrc_canvass\" id=\"qrc_cuttenpages_2\" style=\"display:inline-block\" data-text=\"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/product\/audio-note-m2-preamplifier\/\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detail Audio Note (UK) M2 preamplifier is designed for sonic performance rather than technical specifications and meets all Audio Note (UK) Level 2 standards: &#8211;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":118344,"template":"","meta":[],"pwb-brand":[9841],"product_cat":[10176,11109],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-130269","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"pwb-brand-audio-note","7":"product_cat-preamplifier","8":"product_cat-audio-note-preamplifier","9":"product_shipping_class-c-class","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"product-type-simple"},"aioseo_notices":[],"etheme_brands":{"errors":{"invalid_taxonomy":["Invalid taxonomy."]},"error_data":[]},"brands":[{"id":9841,"name":"AUDIO NOTE","slug":"audio-note"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/130269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/130269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pwb-brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand?post=130269"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=130269"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soundglory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=130269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
