Soulnote E-2 Ver 2 Phono Equalizer Key Features: Dedicated Optical Cartridge Input The E-2 VER2 features the same XLR connector for separated power supply cables as employed in the E-3, maximizing the unique advantages of optical cartridges. Advanced Analog Circuit for Optical Cartridges The fully balanced, non-NFB “New Type-R” (*) circuit from the E-3 has been directly implemented, ensuring uncompromising fidelity and musical expression. Refined MC/MM Circuit The MC/MM stages have been significantly simplified with a newly designed bias circuit, achieving a notable improvement in sound quality and overall performance. Enhanced Chassis design The unfixed top cover, also adopted in the A-2 VER2, has been further refined to contribute to sonic purity and resonance control. Extended Flexibility MC loading is now supported up to 1 kΩ, offering greater compatibility with a wide range of cartridges. Furthermore, all of the original’s versatile features, including adjustable EQ curve functionality, have been fully retained.
