Super low noise and high RIAA accuracy. Flexibility for pretty much any cartridge, MM, MC, or MI. DC coupled throughout—with the option of one or two poles of passive LF filtering. Schiit’s Mani 2 sets the standard for performance and capability in an affordable phono stage.Simply Stunning PerformanceMani 2 provides super low-noise performance that’s usually only seen in much more expensive phono preamps. Combining 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, with advanced dual-filtered power supply and +/-16V rails, as well as switchable 1- or 2-pole passive LF filter, provides exceptional transparency and accuracy, as well as high overload margin, in an affordable phono preamp.Ultimate Flexibility—Loading, Gain, and LF FilteringMani 2 doesn’t sacrifice flexibility for low-cost, either. You have total control over:Gain: Choose 35, 45, 50, or 60dB of gain, for virtually any cartridge from Decca to low-output MC and MI models.Loading: Choose 47KΩ, 200Ω, 47Ω, or 38Ω, and 47pF, 100pF, 150pF, or 200pF for virtually any MM, MC, or MI cartridgeLF Filter: Choose 6dB/octave or 12dB/octave of purely passive low-frequency filtering to help with warped records or other subsonic problems. Review: I like this! - Noticeably quieter background blackness between notes. • Sharper stereo imaging with instruments more precisely placed. • More “sparkle” on top and solidity in the low end. • More “life” in recordings you already know well. Tighter, more controlled bass — kick drums and bass guitar have more definition instead of blending. • Clearer midrange — vocals step forward and separate better from instruments. Drums sit behind vocals center stage • Crisper highs without harshness — cymbals and guitar strings feel more “alive.” • Flexibility — multiple gain and loading options, so it works with a wider range of cartridges and lets you “dial in” the sound, but Once it’s set, you can forget it! (Note I found run 6db plus 6db (12 total) on the dip switches for filtering on my system using a subwoofer, best for tighter, more defined bass) • Overall presentation is more dynamic, lively, and spacious-the sound stage expands and is defined Review: Magical little box - The Mani 2 is a substantial upgrade from your turntable's or receiver's built-in phono preamp. Frequency response and dynamic response were greatly enhanced, as well as stereo imaging compared to my turntables built-in preamp. Volume was boosted too. Dark Side of the Moon now sounds like surround sound, only using two speakers in stereo. Tool's Fear Inoculum is mesmerizing, sparkling and rich compared to the built-in preamp. I suspect part of Mani 2's secret is it's 16v power supply. It's large. It wouldn't fit in the power strip underneath my media cabinet. A true wallwart. This preamp is high gain and is susceptible to interference. I experienced noise at first using some cheap RCA's. (modem, wifi6 router, 800w receiver nearby) I had to rob some higher-end cables from my DAW... Problem solved. Noise gone. If you buy this, have high-end cables or buy some. I like the extreme power light. I can easily tell that it's on. I do not like the rear mounted power switch. It's a toggle switch which is nice but it's just bizarre they put it in the back. Lame. You'll need to place this device accordingly. The underside has lots of dip switches for people with 4 figure turntables or moving cartridges. If you have a regular turntable, you don't need to mess with any of that. ## Features - Schiit’s all-new Mani 2 sets the standard for performance and capability in an affordable phono stage.

The cord is roughly 5ft. long. If you want cables those are a different part. We have RCA cables in the that are 10" in length. **Q: Does it come with a power supply?** A: Yes. Comes with power supply, and instructions. Also comes factory preset for MM type stylus and 48 decibel gain. Gain has only 3 settings: 33,48,60. Other settings are fine as is unless you have MC stylus or something else. Factory 48db is a little much for classical music (crescendos occasionally clip) but seems fine for other music, at least with my Pioneer Elite(had to set @ 33db and dedicate 1 MCACC setting with 7db gain on all channels). Might be different with other systems. You will also need quality stereo cables to get the most out of it. I use Worlds Best Cables directional quads. They brought out even more bass, and more accurately too. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like this! *by B***M on September 15, 2025* Noticeably quieter background blackness between notes. • Sharper stereo imaging with instruments more precisely placed. • More “sparkle” on top and solidity in the low end. • More “life” in recordings you already know well.
