Stampa la paginaCANOR Asterion V2 is a fully valved phono preamplifier for both MM and MC phono cartridges that contain
as many as nine vacuum tubes (including one vacuum diode) and is equipped with a high-quality MC step-up
Lundahl transformer.
The Asterion V2 is designed with regard to the highest possible audio quality. The overall electrical and
mechanical construction is tailored to achieve this ultimate goal.
-
wiring circuitry without any global feedback
PCBs utilize our premium CMT ™ technology.
-
-
absolute selection and tubes matching with above average parameters.
-
vacuum-impregnated transformer core
-
transformer potted in a special anti-vibration compound.
-
only high-quality polypropylene capacitors in the signal path
-
high variability of gain settings, resistances, and capacitances settings for all types of phono cartridges
-
symmetric (balanced) XLR output available.
-
symmetric (balanced) XLR input available for MC cartridges.
If a turntable is fitted with two tonearms, one having an MM phono cartridge installed and the other MC, both
can be connected simultaneously without mutually affecting each other.
Basics
Plug the power cord in Asterion V2. Turn on the Asterion V2 with the Power Main switch, which is located on
the back panel. When you turn on the main switch, the Asterion V2 will set into standby mode - the red LED
diode on the front panel lights up. After pressing the Power button controlled turning-on sequence gets initiated,
which consists of cooling and preheating the tubes, thereby extending their life span. The cooling cycle is also
being carried out when the unit is turned off, if the main switch on the back panel is not turned off, i.e. after
turning off via a button on the front panel, and a 45-second countdown to cooling without indication begins. If
you turn on the unit at this time, the cooling will continue and will be indicated by a flashing red LED. When the
cooling cycle is over, the main toroidal transformer gets connected (the CANOR logo lights up), and then the
slow start-up of voltage begins. This cycle lasts 20 – 30 seconds.

FRONT PANEL
•
MAIN ROTARY KNOB - adjusting loads and resistance for dedicated input.
•
POWER - turning on and off the amplifier.
•
MUTE - pressing this button results in an instant muting of the volume. Subsequent pressing results in
default volume.
•
DIMM - sets the display brightness in six steps whereby 0 is a turned-off display, and 5 is maximum
brightness. After turning the unit on, the display brightness level is 3 and by repeatedly pressing or
holding the button, brightness lowers to values 2, 1, 0 and continues to rise until maximum brightness
(5) is reached, and repeatedly lowers until the display is turned off. In the state of a turned-off display
during operating the device with function keys the display lights up to brightness 2, and after a few
seconds, the display turns off again.
•

•
MM - to use with Moving Magnet cartridges. Gain: 46dB. Available MM loads: 50pF, 150pF, 270pF,
370pF, 520pF, 620pF, 740pF and 840pF.
