Schiit Mani Phono Preamp for MC and MM Cartridges (Silver)

Specifications

About this product

Schiit Mani gives you the flexibility you need for both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, together with exceptionally accurate, and low-noise performance. Schiit Mani gives you the flexibility you need for both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, together with exceptionally accurate, and low-noise performance. Accepting All Cartridges! Many low-cost phono preamps are only good for typical moving-magnet (MM) cartridges. They don’t have the gain needed for moving coil (MC), or the flexibility for high-output MM cartridges like Decca, or high-output MC cartridges that that might end up somewhere in the middle of the gain range. Mani, with 4 switchable gain modes, (30, 42, 47, and 59dB) is ready for any cartridge you can throw at it. Accepting All Cartridges!

What that means is there are no poles in the feedback loop, for more consistent sonic performance. Coupled with precision 2% film capacitors, 0.5% thin-film resistors, and super low-noise gain stages, Mani delivers superb accuracy and performance, even well beyond its modest price.

Designed and Assembled in USA By “designed and assembled in USA" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Mani—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our facility. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us, or done in NorCal. Yes, the wall-warts are made in China, but there's some give and take at this price point.

That’s 2x the coverage of most amps in this price range. 2-Year Warranty Mani is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for two years.
