Cartridge Matching
E-Glo Petit 2 offers selectable input impedance for both MM (30k to 75kΩ) and MC (10 to 1200Ω) cartridges, along with selectable load capacitance (50 to 620pF) for MM cartridges — letting you fine-tune the preamp to your specific cartridge rather than relying on a single fixed setting. Gain is selectable from 40dB up to 70dB to match MM or MC output levels.
Discrete Circuitry
E-Glo Petit 2 uses fully discrete audio circuitry throughout, rather than integrated op-amps, in keeping with EAT's design philosophy across the E-Glo range.
