ABSOLUTE Phono MC outside

A small board in the cartridge becomes the biggest revolution in the history of moving coil technology (MC) by the clearaudio developers. With this innovation in absolute phono, it is possible for the first time worldwide to amplify the music signal directly at the pickup. With terrific results: Throughout the audio range, the listener experiences a ten-decibel improved noise ratio. And also the main amplifier stage designed especially for absolute phono benefits from this technical progress. Especially through the principle of purism. Their two pairs of outputs use separate high-level output drivers. Thus, the balanced XLR output and the unbalanced RCA output operate completely independently, without affecting each other. The silver mica capacitors developed and manufactured by clearaudio provide optimal sound quality due to their position and non-magnetic properties. In return, relays and coupling capacitors were dispensed with. This preserves the sound throughout the signal path in its original brilliance.

Eye-catching minimalism also determines the operating element. A single multifunction button is sufficient for on-off control and mute. The information about the respective operating state takes place by means of a flashing signal. 
The power supply proves to be just as ingenious. The outsourced power supply minimizes interference by network interference. In addition, the power supply units for input amplifiers, RIAA equalizers and output buffer stages have been applied separately. Designed to be backfeed-resistant and thus protected from the voltages and currents of downstream tube stages, the output buffer stages perform their precise work completely undisturbed.
Despite the restraint in design and consumption, the absolute phono is extremely diverse in its field of application. In addition to all clearaudio series, it is also compatible with many other moving coil systems. It is delivered ex works including the clearaudio tonearm.
