The Core Circuitry
The Line Stage Gain Module employs fully balanced, mirror-imaged circuits with hand-matched, ultra-low-noise transistors. A unique servo circuit monitors the signal balance, correcting even minute inconsistencies. Used with a Constellation amplifier, it can feed the preamplifier output to the amplifier’s Constellation Link input, thus bypassing the amplifier’s input stage for even purer sound.
The Power Supply
Constellation’s Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) provides ideal DC power under any conditions—worldwide— something impossible with traditional, transformer-based linear supplies, and delivering 100 percent of its performance under all conditions. The power produced is more than 20 dB quieter than with a typical linear supply, while effortlessly reproducing hauntingly quiet passages and thrilling dynamic peaks.
True Dual Mono
The mirrored circuit layout positions the left channel precisely opposite the right channel. Inputs and outputs are entirely separated, with the left-channel inputs and outputs on one side of the rear panel and the right channel inputs and outputs on the other. Many dual-mono preamplifiers recombine the channels at the inputs and outputs, sacrificing the true benefits of the design.
Convenience Yet Uncompromising
While clarity, dynamics, and transparency define its sonic character, the Inspiration 2 Preamplifier is also easy to use. An LCD touchscreen allows fine-tuned, intuitive adjustment, enhanced by an elegant, machined aluminum remote control. The digitally controlled resistor-ladder volume control achieves precision and transparency no potentiometer can match. While the Inspiration 2 Preamplifier offers fewer inputs than our other preamplifiers, its sheer musicality is sustained, distilling the best aspects of our Reference 2 and Performance 2 Preamplifiers into a smaller, more practical component that becomes the control center for the finest audio systems.
