It provides up to 54 decibels gain at one kilohertz and an extremely linear frequency response. For superb performance from both MM and MC cartridges, Smart Phono V2 has two separate sets of circuitry using SMD technology. A slide switch on the underside selects MM or MC use. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eA Wealth of Exceptional Features\u003c\/h4\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Smart Phono v2 features a newly designed, CNC-machined, resonance-free aluminum chassis. It is a larger, higher performance version of the popular Clearaudio Nano phono stage.  The beautifully crafted chassis hides a wealth of exceptional features such as the latest advanced surface mount-device technology, compatibility with both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, and linearity from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAnd there's no power switch on the Smart Phono.
