The Constellation Revelation 2 Phono Preamplifier is the simplest realization of our dream to create the ultimate phono stage. Our engineers started with an RIAA EQ circuit design tested and refined over decades. Coupled to a fully balanced output stage and an extraordinary selection of loading options, this phono stage assures the absolute best performance from any cartridge. An ultra-quiet, ultra-efficient Switch-Mode Power Supply reveals the subtlest nuances in every recording.

The Phono Circuit

The heart of the Revelation 2 Phono Preamplifier is a classic RIAA EQ circuit that has won raves from countless audiophiles and reviews. This musically refined circuit is paired with an output stage based n the fully balanced Line Stage Gain Modules found in Constellation’s award-winning line stage preamplifiers, using hand-matched transistors selected for their outstanding, ultra-low-noise performance.

The Power Supply

Our Switch- Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is over 20 dB quieter than a typical linear power supply. It delivers consistent, perfect DS power no matter what the supply voltage, ensuring uncompromised retrieval of even the most minute sonic details. Encased in a separate chassis with thick, machined aluminum slabs, the power supply thus cannot interfere with the sensitive phono preamplifier circuits.

Precision and Flexibility

The Revelation 2 Phono Preamplifier makes it easy to experiment with a wide variety of cartridges in the quest for the best sound. Load settings for the moving-coil inputs are calibrated in ultra-precise 1-ohm steps, from 5 70 1,000 ohms. Settings for each channel and each MC input can be stored independently. For moving-magnet cartridges, load impedance may be set to 10, 33, or 47 kilohms, and load capacitance to 0, 100, or 200 picofarads. XLR and RCA inputs are provided for MC and MM cartridges.

Masterful Musicality

A rare combination of elegant, refined analog circuitry and precision control, the Revelation 2 Phono Preamplifier is operated by an LCD touchscreen with intuitive control buttons and indicators along the bottom. It allows ultra-precise, easy adjustment of all settings with far better accuracy than even the best analog potentiometers can deliver. While the Revelation 2 Phono Preamlifier has few inputs and EQ options than our more elite phono preamplifiers, it retains their pristine, quiet, musical sound quality and offers all the adjustment flexibility needed to achieve maximum performance from your favorite cartridge.
