6. Pre phono stage

Verdi cento has a pre Phono section able to treat both MC and

MMsignals. You can easily set the Pre Phono Mode changing the position of Jumpers on the board. We have chosen this kind of Mode selection because it permits you to perform the Pre Phono settings without increasing the track’s length and it avoids the low level signal from the cartridge passing through selectors.

7. Functionality

Verdi Cento has a new set of functions that makes it very flexible. Besides the traditional integrated functions it can be set in bypass mode to work as a Power Amplifier. Moreover, you can change the “volume scale” of the integrated amplifier to match it with your loudspeaker’s efficiency and have the best volume resolution. Four different scales are available including a 1dB step scale and a scale adjusted for high efficiency loudspeakers! Furthermore, the Verdi Cento has the balance function as well.

All the components used are high quality and low tolerance. The Board that is often a neglected “component” has been designed respecting all possible noise reduction techniques especially for the current return parts and power supply traces.
