The Clearaudio balance reference phono is a premium phono equalizer designed for analog enthusiasts, offering independent inputs for both MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil) phono cartridges.

Independent inputs: Balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) inputs and outputs can be selected.
Flexible impedance adjustment: Suitable for most phono heads.
Volume and input adjustment : Accessible via remote control.
Premium design: 2 headphone jacks, dual-mono power supply with separate aluminum housing, ensuring the highest sound quality.

The new balance reference phono was developed especially for the phono enthusiast, featuring completely independent phono inputs for connecting moving coil and moving magnet phono cartridges. It provides total freedom in selecting balanced (XLR) or single-ended (RCA) inputs and outputs with the total flexibility of adjusting the input impedance for most cartridges.

The sophisticated volume and input circuitry are accessible with the supplied remote control. The high-performance design provides 2 headphone connections. A dual-mono power supply housed in its own dedicated aluminum chassis ensures the highest sound quality.

The balance reference phono is truly a world-class phono stage for analog aficionados.
