The MicroZotl MZ2 is a versatile, reference-grade audio component designed by David Berning, hand-built in the USA. It serves as a preamplifier, headphone amplifier, and integrated amplifier for highly efficient speakers. The MZ2 is renowned for combining the warmth and linearity of tubes with the clarity and detail typically associated with solid-state designs, thanks to its unique ZOTL circuit that eliminates output transformers and their associated distortion. The unit features a clear Lexan top for viewing internal components, external power supply for a low noise floor, and is suitable for a wide range of headphones and sensitive speakers.
