  • Key Specs
    • Number of Channels: 2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: Not Applicable (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
    • Audio Only Inputs: 1 x Phono, 2 x Optical digital audio, 2 x Coaxial digital audio, Balanced XLR, Unbalanced RCA, 1 x USB-B, 1 x 3.5mm audio
    • Audio/Video Inputs: No audio/video inputs (The number and type of HDMI inputs the product has.)

The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: Not Applicable (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
    • Maximum Sampling Rate Supported: 384 (Generally, the higher the sampling rate, the greater the quality of audio and/or video.)
    • Equalizer: true (Allows for the control of different frequencies within an audio signal, such as adjusting treble and bass levels.)
    • High/Low Pass Filters: None
    • Preamp/Processor Design: Solid state (Tube design processors use vacuum tubes to process sound, a method typically more expensive than the transistors used in solid-state processors. Depending on the desired sound, one may prefer the warm tonal quality and character that tubes provide or the crisp, clean sound of solid-state circuitry.)

Cambridge Audio - Duo Moving Coil & Moving Magnet Phono Preamplifier - Silver

Squeeze every inch of detail from your record collection with our highest quality moving magnet and moving coil phono stage with integrated headphone amp; the Duo Phono Preamplifier.Vinyl as it’s Supposed to SoundWhether you’re dusting off your record collection or embracing analogue through the vinyl revival there’s a unique experience to be had from the moment you drop the needle on your favorite album. To preserve the unique warmth of the vinyl sound the Duo phono preamplifier has been carefully designed with a state-of-the-art switch mode power supply and a new surface mounted circuit board layout to reduce unwanted noiseWhy Choose a Dedicated Phono Preamplifier?Due to the low-level signals created by a turntable not all Hi-Fi amplifiers will let you connect directly to a record player. The phono preamplifier boosts this signal to something a power amplifier can work with. The challenge at this stage though is that noise can easily be added.This is why Cambridge designed the Duo around exceptional components that deliver the warm and detailed sound that’s synonymous with vinyl all without distorting the signal from your moving magnet cartridge turntable. The switch mode power supply improves performance by switching outside of audible frequency to drastically reduce hum and new circuit board layout uses surface-mount components to reduce noise.Vinyl – Just for YouEnjoy the warmth of vinyl privately thanks to Duo’s integrated headphone output. Uniquely CA integrated a 6.35mm headphone jack directly into the phono stage so you can still enjoy your records when there’s no option to play out loud.The integrated headphone output also means no need to turn on your amplifier just to power your headphones resulting in a more eco-friendly listening experience.Attention to DetailIf some records in your collection are a
