Clearaudio Balance Plus Phonostage

True symmestrical layout, balanced (XLR) and single ended (RCA) outputs, and a superb channel separation are special features of the Balance phono stage. The audio chassis circuit board is housed in an extruded aluminium block that protects against unwanted vibrations. The double sized power supply is housed in a separate chassis. Dedicated for MC cartridges, the Balance is the top choice for use with balanced input line stages.

One example of Clearaudio's commitment to quality control is our meticulous in-house procedures including both measurement and listening tests. It is our firm belief that these in-house procedures are the best way to assure utmost quality.
