Placement and Initial Setup
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 -
IMPORTANT: Make all connections before powering your unit.
Design Features
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:

•Programmable options for all inputs: Function (stereo, disable), Name, Main level, and Soft Mute level
•
•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
•Precision resistors and no capacitors in the audio signal path
•Ultra low noise second stage regulation for the analog amplifier sections
•
•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
