Because the PRe2/P runs cool it can be
placed in many system locations without
compromise. We do not recommend
placing weights or other objects directly
on the PRe2/P. This may mar or scratch
the chassis finish. Do not use harsh
chemicals when cleaning the outside of
your PRe2/P.
Single Ended RCA and Balanced XLR
connectors are available. XLR jacks
allow balanced hookup using the stan-
dard North American pin configuration:
Pin 1 Ground
Pin 2 Input +
Pin 3 Input -
The Bel Canto PRe2/P represents a pow-
erful statement in high performance
audio control preamplifiers. Its superb
audio performance and transparency ren-
ders it a modern standard in control and
RIAA preamplifier design:
• All analog, low noise, low distortion
architecture for controlling up to seven
2-channel inputs including 1-balanced
input
• Fully balanced XLR outputs for optimum
interface to the power amplifier
• Programmable options for all inputs:
Function (stereo, disable), Name, Main
level, and Soft Mute level
• 4-layer PC board design for superior
signal routing, grounding and power
supply routing
• Latest generation of active audio
buffers, level controls and output drivers
provide superb measured and subjec-
tive audio quality
• Independent digital and analog trans-
formers and multi-stage power supplies
for precise power of sensitive analog cir-
cuitry
• Precision resistors and no capacitors in
the audio signal path
• Ultra low noise second stage regulation
for the analog amplifier sections
• Ultra-low noise active amplification for
RIAA Phono Stage (PRe2P)
• Front panel and remote selectable
Phono stage gain, resistive and capaci-
tive loading and Mono/Stereo opera-
tion (PRe2P)
• Digitally controlled analog
volume control for optimum signal archi-
tecture and no-compromise gain and
balance control
