The Schiit Audio Mani 2 is a compact, high-value phono preamplifier designed for both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. It offers exceptional low-noise performance and high RIAA accuracy, features typically found in much more expensive units. Mani 2 provides extensive flexibility with selectable gain (33, 42, 48, or 60dB), multiple loading options (47KΩ, 200Ω, 47Ω, or 38Ω; 47pF, 100pF, 150pF, or 200pF), and switchable low-frequency filtering (6dB/octave or 12dB/octave). Built in the USA, it is praised for its transparency, accuracy, and ability to accommodate virtually any cartridge. Mani 2 is widely regarded as a 'giant killer' in its price class, making high-fidelity vinyl playback accessible to a broad audience.
