Know before you buy
The base unit is a pure analog preamplifier. However, it offers an optional digital streaming module that can be integrated if you require modern network playback capabilities.
No, this unit does not feature a dedicated headphone output. It is designed specifically as the central control hub for a high-end loudspeaker-based audio system.
The Momentum C2 does not include a built-in subsonic filter. It is engineered for maximum signal purity, assuming the use of high-quality turntables and tonearms that do not require additional filtering.
By housing the power supply internally, the design maintains a cleaner, more compact footprint while ensuring the sensitive audio circuitry receives stable, consistent power for precise signal processing.
The chassis is crafted from high-grade aluminum. This material is chosen for its excellent structural rigidity and its ability to shield the internal components from external electromagnetic interference.
