Flexibility for pretty much any cartridge, MM, MC, or MI. DC coupled throughout—with the option of one or two poles of passive LF filtering. Schiit’s all-new Mani 2 sets the standard for performance and capability in an affordable phono stage.
Simply Stunning Performance Mani 2 provides super low-noise performance that’s usually only seen in much more expensive phono preamps. Combining TI’s low-noise OPA1612 with a passive RIAA network with 2% precision film capacitors and 0.1% thin-film resistors in a DC-coupled topology, with advanced dual-filtered power supply and +/-16V rails, as well as switchable 1- or 2-pole passive LF filter, provides exceptional transparency and accuracy, as well as high overload margin, in an affordable phono preamp. Ultimate Flexibility—Loading, Gain, and LF Filtering Mani 2 doesn’t sacrifice flexibility for low-cost, either.
In fact, Mani 2 is the most flexible, capable affordable phono preamp, period. You have total control over: Gain: Choose 35, 45, 50, or 60d - B of gain, for virtually any cartridge from Decca to low-output MC and MI models. Loading: Choose 47KΩ, 200Ω, 47Ω, or 38Ω, and 47p - F, 100p - F, 150p - F, or 200p - F for virtually any MM, MC, or MI cartridge LF Filter: Choose 6d - B/octave or 12d - B/octave of purely passive low-frequency filtering to help with warped records or other subsonic problems.
