The Latest Advancements from Clear Audio
Phono Preamps

Micro Basic Phonostage

Convenient and affordable - using a small audio chassis and a special mounting pass-through hole, the Micro Basic can be positioned very close to the signal source. Direct switching between MM-MC operation is via a switch on the circuit board accessible through the chassis. As an analog specialist, Clearaudio uses its expertise to design and manufacturer high quality phono preamplifiers for every price range. The power supply of all Clearaudio phono preamplifiers is separate from the audio chassis, allowing high capacity while simultaneously shielding the sensitive audio circuits from unwanted interference. Only hand selected and matched high quality parts are used in assembly to ensure exact RIAA equalisation.

Micro Basic Phonostage

The Basic phonostage offers both MM and MC capabilities, with enough gain to drive the lowest output cartridges. It is a very simple unit to operate with a single button switching between MM and MC functionality. Another nice feature is it dedicated power transformer, which resides outside the actual phonostage to keep the audio circuit as quiet as possible.

The Basic is available in both Black and Silver finish. The layout of the circuitry is optimised for high channel separation, complementing Clearaudio phono cartridges. All of our phono preamplifiers use the Clearaudio non-magnetic MPC RCA jacks.

Balance Phonostage

True symmestrical layout, balanced (XLR) and single ended (RCA) outputs, and a superb channel separation are special features of the Balance phono stage. The audio chassis circuit board is housed in an extruded aluminium block that protects against unwanted vibrations. The double sized power supply is housed in a separate chassis. Dedicated for MC cartridges, the Balance is the top choice for use with balanced input line stages.

One example of Clearaudio's commitment to quality control is our meticulous in-house procedures including both measurement and listening tests. It is our firm belief that these in-house procedures are the best way to assure utmost quality.
