CP202 Preamplifier

CP202 Pre amplifier

The CP202 pre amplifier is a simple straightforward all analogue pre amplifier designed to work with our CPA402 power amplifier.

The CP202 has the same input configuration as the CA352 but the preamp unbalanced output is on 3 pin XLR connectors, as unbalanced signals inherently have lower distortion levels than balanced signals and good quality interconnect cables eliminate external noise on the short length between preamp and poweramp.

The CP202 also has a built in dedicated headphone amplifier (you can use it on its own as a “big” headphone amplifier).

The CP202 has the ability to switch off any new Nytech power amplifier from the CP202 power switch or remote control. The power amplifier is also turned off if headphones are plugged in.

Brief Specifications

Inputs

Line Inputs
4x Line level (-10dBu – 300mv RMS) stereo inputs using professional RCA “Phono” connectors.

Outputs

Line Output

0dbU (0.775v RMS) unbalanced output on 3 pin male XLR connector.
Pin 2 on XLR is grounded on power on so input meets CCIR spec for unbalanced signals using XLR connectors and can be connected to a power amplifier with balanced inputs

Headphone
