詳情

The SuperNova II is a three-input phono preamplifier intended for use with more than one turntable or a turntable with more than one tonearm. There is user-adjustable loading and gain for each of the inputs. The loading and gain is set via switches and is accessible from the rear of the chassis.

The switching between the inputs does not actually switch the inputs and loading. Instead, it has three independent front ends — the current source is switched to the one that will be active. The outputs are summed into the backend circuitry. In this way, no switching occurs in the signal path when the switched attenuator is not being used.

The SuperNova II is fully dual-mono and is powered from a remote dual-mono power supply. The remote power supply supports NiMH rechargeable batteries, but is designed to work perfectly without the batteries.

The batteries will allow the SuperNova II to run completely isolated from the wall power for a period of three hours. There are four independent charging circuits for the four battery packs.

The SuperNova II has an 11-position variable output switched attenuator that allows direct connection to a power amplifier.
