R15 Preliminary Specifications
R15 MM/MC phono preamplifier provides the ideal interface between the low-level
output of a moving magnet or moving coil phono cartridge and the line-level inputs of
your hi-fi system. Although housed in our compact three-quarter sized 15 series cabinetry,
the same care and craft that informs the design of the larger and somewhat more
capable R35 MM/MC phono preamplifier has informed the design layout for the R15,
allowing all circuits to work sympathetically together for superior sound and greater
fidelity. With sufficient gain to amplify the signal from virtually any MM or MC phono
cartridge, and flexible input adjustment allows for ideal system matching.
