About the Marconi II
The Brinkmann Audio Marconi II is a high-end hybrid line-stage preamplifier designed around a fully balanced signal path. It offers four single-ended and two balanced inputs, per-input level trim, phase inversion, mute, remote control, and a front-panel display for input, level, and phase status. The design uses tube-based phase inversion in oversized side-mounted heat sinks and a motorized potentiometer with electronically switched discrete resistors for volume control. Published pricing for the Marconi Mk II is $13,990.
