Product Description
The NAD PP2e is a dedicated phono preamplifier that offers low-noise amplification for Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges. If you are looking to improve the sound quality of your turntable without spending a fortune, this is your ideal preamplifier.
Switchable Dual MM/MC Amplification
Moving Magnet (MM) Mode
In MM mode, the PP2e provides 35dB of gain with 47kΩ input impedance and 200pF capacitance. This is ideal for standard MM cartridges like the Ortofon OM, Audio-Technica AT95, and similar.
Moving Coil (MC) Mode
In MC mode, the PP2e provides 60dB of gain with 100Ω input impedance and 180pF capacitance. This allows for the use of high-quality MC cartridges with sufficient gain.
Easy MM/MC Switch
Quick Selection
The front-mounted switch allows for easy switching between MM and MC modes without the need for tools or internal adjustments.
24V External Power Supply
Consistent Low Noise
The 24-volt external power supply contributes to quiet and consistent performance. The external power supply design reduces power supply noise in the amplification circuit.
Clean Design
The external supply keeps the main body compact and free from heat generated by an internal power supply.
Quality Connectors
Gold-Plated Connectors
The input and output connectors are gold-plated for reliable, corrosion-free connections. This ensures a clean and consistent connection.
Standard RCA Connectors
Standard RCA connectors for input (from turntable) and output (to amplifier) allow for easy integration into any system.
Compact Design
Portable Size
The compact dimensions (135 x 35 x 70 mm) allow for easy placement on shelves, mixing tables, or audio racks without taking up much space.
Easy Integration
The small size allows for easy integration into existing systems without the need to reorganize equipment.
Auto Power Down
Energy Saving
The Auto Power Down feature automatically turns off the PP2e when not in use, saving energy and extending the life of the equipment.
Convenience
You don't need to remember to turn off the preamplifier manually.
Power LED Indicator
Visual Feedback
The power LED provides clear visual feedback of the preamplifier's status.
