CALON Dual Mono Phono Preamp

The Vertere CALON Dual-Mono Phono Preamplifier is a reference-level phono stage designed to reveal the full musical potential of high-performance analog systems. Developed with Vertere’s uncompromising approach to signal integrity, CALON combines a true dual-mono architecture, advanced gain and equalization control, and precision cartridge matching to deliver exceptional clarity, dynamics, and transparency. With its carefully engineered power supply, ultra-low-noise circuitry, and flexible configuration for both MM and MC cartridges, CALON serves as the foundation for extracting maximum detail and musical expression from vinyl playback.

Features:

• True dual-mono architecture with separate gold-plated four-layer PCBs for optimized channel separation and signal purity.
• Dual gain stages with independent pre-RIAA and post-RIAA adjustment for enhanced clarity, dynamic range, and system optimization.
• Dedicated low-frequency subsonic filter reduces unwanted energy and preserves amplifier headroom for improved playback accuracy.
• Nine resistance settings and nine capacitance settings provide precise cartridge matching for a wide range of MM and MC cartridges.
• Dual internal toroidal transformers provide isolated power delivery for the audio circuits and control circuitry.
• Non-magnetic stainless steel chassis helps shield sensitive circuitry while maintaining mechanical stability.
• Separate ground management controls allow fine optimization of channel grounding for different system configurations.
• Balanced XLR and RCA outputs provide flexible connection options for high-end audio systems.
• Precision gain adjustment from 45dB to 73dB enables compatibility with a broad range of cartridge output levels.
• Engineered to deliver exceptional resolution, tonal accuracy, and a more immersive analog listening experience.
