Description

MONICA Mk3 Pre-Amplifier

Named after one of Sweden’s favorite singers, MONICA is a fully balanced and perfectly matching pre-amplifier for LARS, ERIC and even ARNE for an extra boost or desired bi-amping. Inside its simple design are best-in-class components and a lifetime of engineering experience.

High end Pre Amplifier

M-Phono

As the third chassis complementing the MONICA line-stage, M-Phono is the MM/MC phono-pre-amp. Integrated into the original MONICA pre-amplifier in 2014, it is now a standalone product allowing the phono and line-stage to reach their full potential.

With six inputs for each channel (three balanced XLR and three unbalanced RCA connectors) and four outputs for each channel (two balanced XLR and two un-balanced RCA) MONICA works in harmony with your sound system.

MONICA features a fully balanced line stage and no negative feedback is used in the creation of its pure, distinct sound.

The core of the circuit is a unique two-totem-pole design in a balanced configuration, with four triode elements in each channel. Using a clever layout to separate the pure signal processing from the dirty components.
