Blockbuster Analog Performance for a Budget Price: U.S.A.-Made Music Hall Mini Plus MM Phono Preamplifier Features Cartridge Load Capacitance, Trim-Gain Control, and Rumble Filter
Budget price and blockbuster performance intersect in the Music Hall Mini Plus phono preamplifier. The petite U.S.A.-made analog powerhouse interfaces with moving-magnet phono cartridges to provide the link from your turntable to your amplifier – and deliver audio thrills marked by warmth, detail, balance, and tonality. Designed with a chassis that helps ward off the effects of stray magnetic fields and provides quiet playback, the low-noise Mini Plus also includes two features normally not found on phono preamplifiers anywhere near this cost.
The first, cartridge load capacitance, allows you to fine-tune the preamplifier to closely match the characteristics/specifications of your moving-magnet cartridge, resulting in improved synergy and responsiveness. In addition, a trim-gain control lets you boost or reduce the output of Mini Plus to match the volume between your cartridge's output, the volume of the LP you're playing, and your system's characteristics. The improvements in sound alone will justify your choice of the Mini Plus.
A rumble filter, high-quality headphone amplifier with line output, energy-efficient external switch-mode power supply, gold-plated RCA inputs/outputs, and vibration-damping feet also come standard. And Mini Plus' compact dimensions – 5.5 x 3.5 x 1.25 (WDH) inches, less than two pounds – mean that it fits practically anywhere. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
