Know before you buy
The dual-mono design means each channel has its own independent power supply and circuitry. This prevents crosstalk between the left and right channels, resulting in better stereo separation and a more precise, expansive soundstage.
While the P2 is designed to pair perfectly with ATC preamplifiers, its neutral sound profile makes it highly compatible with a wide range of high-quality preamps. As long as your preamp provides a clean signal, the P2 will maintain that transparency.
No, the P2 is engineered for silent, passive cooling, which eliminates the need for noisy internal fans. Just ensure you place the unit in a well-ventilated area with enough clearance around the chassis to allow for natural heat dissipation.
No, the P2 is not bridgeable. It is designed as a dedicated two-channel stereo amplifier, and its 300W per channel output is intended to provide sufficient power for most high-fidelity speaker setups on its own.
The P2 is built for durability and requires very little maintenance beyond keeping the exterior clean and ensuring the connections remain secure. Because it is hand-built in the UK to high standards, it is backed by a 6-year warranty for your peace of mind.
