PERFECT PREAMP FOR YOUR PHONO STAGE - THE SCHIIT MANI 2
The Schiit Mani 2 is simply the highest-performing phono preamp available. With super low noise and high RIAA accuracy, plus flexibility for pretty much any cartridge, MM, MC, or MI, it sets the standard for performance and capability. It provides super low-noise performance usually only seen in much more expensive phono preamps. It combines TI’s low-noise OPA1612 with a passive RIAA network with 2% precision film capacitors and 0.1% thin-film resistors in a DC-coupled topology. It also has an advanced dual-filtered power supply and +/-16V rails with a switchable 1- or 2-pole passive LF filter. This passive LF filter offers a high overload margin, outstanding transparency, and precision.

GET TOTAL CONTROL OVER LOADING, GAIN, AND LF FILTERING
The Schiit Mani 2 doesn’t sacrifice flexibility; in contrast, it is the most flexible, capable phono preamp. You have total control over the Gain, Loading, and LF filter. With Gain Choose 33, 42, 48, or 60dB of gain, for virtually any cartridge from Decca to low-output MC and MI models. The loading allows you to choose 47KΩ, 200Ω, 47Ω, or 38Ω, and 47pF, 100pF, 150pF, or 200pF for virtually any MM, MC, or MI cartridge. You can choose 6dB/octave or 12dB/octave of purely passive low-frequency filtering to help with warped records or other subsonic problems with the LF filter.



METICULOUSLY DESIGNED AND BUILT IN TEXAS WITH ATTENTION TO DETAILS
The Schiit Mani 2 was designed and built at Schiit's Corpus Christi, Texas facility, and the vast majority of the total production cost of Mani 2's chassis, boards, assembly, etc., goes to US companies manufacturing in the USA. The chassis is made in California and the PCBs are made in Nevada.

The Schiit Story
The story of Schiit Audio begins with two veteran audiophiles Jason Stoddard, formerly of Sumo, and Mike Moffat, formerly of Theta coming together to shake things up a bit. Both of them have extensive experience in developing lots of audio and A/V products including the Andromeda III, Cobalt 307, DS Pre and Angstrom 200. From power amplifiers, I/V conversion stages, D/A converters, relay-switched stepped attenuator volume controls in preamps to developing the first DTS home theatre surround processor on the market, Schiit Audio has developed a lot of audio products over the years.

Getting into Designing Headphones
Headphones are the need of the hour everyone who likes music uses a headphone. Therefore Schiit Audio moved to develop personal audio equipment while continuing to design a speaker-based system which includes the industry-leading preamps, amps and DACs. So right now Schiit Audio has a plethora of audio products ranging from personal audio to speaker-based systems. Schiit designs affordable audio products that bring happiness in your lives.

True Multibit DACs and Unique Digital Filter
Unlike ordinary DACs that use delta-sigma, NOS (new old stock) D/A chips, multibit chips, high-cost R2R ladders, Schiit uses unique DSP-based closed-form digital filter which improves the sonic performance of the multibit DAC. Therefore the Schiit's multibit technology brings all of it together using the current-production, medical/military grade D/A converters.

Innovation in Analog
Schiit has opted for an innovative approach for the analog side as well. Even the most affordable Schiit headphone amplifier is a miniature, fully discrete, DC coupled, current-feedback power amplifier. Schiit is credited for introducing Continuity output stage to solve the issue of transconductance droop which was common in Class AB amplifier design. Schiit has also developed balanced topologies like Nexus in Ragnarok 2 and a perfect combination of tube and solid-state with Coherence in Lyr 3.

Designed with High-End Materials for Durability
All the Schiit products are designed for solidity and durability. Even the smallest of the products are made of aluminium and steel while the larger products are made of high-end C core transformers, power supply filtering and low-noise control. All the products have to go through severe testing procedures including the latest APx555 audio analyzer and Avermetrics analyzers. Every product from Asgard and up goes through burn-in to address the issues faced during the initial period of usage. Schiit takes care of all the service and support requirements so that you can concentrate on great sound.

Handcrafted in the USA
Schiit believes that local control of all the aspects of production improves the delivering of the product. Therefore all the Schiit products are designed and made in the USA and most of the cost of the components are going to the US-based companies. Assembled in the USA means that Schiit's chassis guys are from San Fernando Valley, Schiit transformers are made in California, Schiit boards come from the east coast of the USA and all the designing, assembling and testing of Schiit products happen in Valencia, California.

THD: Also way lower on Mani 2.
Gains: tweaked a bit, but pretty close to Mani the Original.
Loading: Mani 2 adds a bunch more options versus Mani: Selectable R load of 47KΩ, 200Ω, 47Ω, or 38Ω, and selectable C load of 47pF, 100pF, 150pF, or 200pF
LF Filter: Mani didn’t have any low-frequency filtering at all. Mani 2 adds a selectable 1- or 2-pole passive LF filter, centred at 15 Hz (that is, 6dB/octave or 12dB/octave roll-off.)
Topology: Although both use a passive RIAA filter, Mani was capacitor-coupled, Mani 2 is DC-coupled with a DC servo. Well, unless you use the passive LF filter. But that’s your choice. Choices are good!
Power supply: Mani ran with a total of 10V rails (+/-5V). Mani 2 more than triples this to 32V (+/-16V). This means way more headroom.
