Non-NFB phono equalizer circuits dedicated to photoelectric cartridges
The equalizer elements is configured with a differential emitter bypass circuit and a new circuit is adopted to significantly reduce circuit impedance. SOULNOTE's original perfectly balanced non-NFB circuits are free from electrical stress and do not require phase compensation or bandwidth limitation. These circuits allow the benefits of photoelectric cartridges to be maximized. The combination of the photoelectric system's exceptional transient responsiveness with non-NFB produces a shockingly vibrant and vivid music soundscape.
* Photoelectric cartridges do not support past TOSHIBA or TRIO cartridges.
MC LOAD switching
The E-2 is equipped with six types of load impedance switching features to extract the most from the MC cartridges in use
Inputs capable of connecting with four types of systems
The E-2 allows simultaneous connection and switching between four inputs: MC balanced, MC/MM unbalanced (2 types), and dedicated photoelectric cartridge.
MM load capacity switching
Three kinds of load capacity switching functions are employed to fully demonstrate the extreme capabilities of MM cartridges.
Wide support of old-time EQ curves pre-RIAA (at MC/MM)

Chimney-type heat sink
The heat sink is a newly developed chimney type that pursues a shape with high cooling efficiency and low intrinsic vibration.
Phase inversion feature
The E-2 is equipped with a phase inversion function that switches between the balanced outputs' HOT and COLD to eliminate sonic warping as a result of the circuits.
Low gain feature
Considering the headroom of the connected preamplifier, etc, the E-2 is equipped with a low gain feature to lower the output level.
MONO mode
The left and right channels are combined and output as monaural.
Degaussing feature (at MC/MM)
“Short-circuit the input”. By enabling this feature, the phono cartridge can be effectively degaussed during record playback. It can also be used as a MUTE feature when the stylus settles on the record.
Balanced output
A strong balanced output is obtained by employing a fully balanced non-NFB buffer amplifier that is even capable of driving loudspeakers.
