Canor Asterion V2

The Canor Asterion V2 phono preamplifier is a versatile device, capable of accommodating both MM and MC cartridges. With no interference between the two, users can connect both types simultaneously. The MM and MC options are easy to select and set up thanks to the simple and intuitive front panel buttons, making the Asterion V2 a user-friendly and efficient choice.

To eliminate mechanical hum, the transformer core undergoes vacuum impregnation and is encapsulated in a special anti-vibration compound. Furthermore, the transformer is enclosed in a sturdy, welded cover that provides excellent electromagnetic shielding and enhances the signal-to-noise ratio. 
To prevent interference from external voltage sources, the primary and secondary windings are separated by a copper foil shield with a 50% overlap.

The Asterion V2 features strictly separated signal paths for both channels with separated filtration of the power voltage.
The voltage stabilization is made separately for the right and left channels to improve channel separation and minimize noise and interference for a cleaner and more accurate sound.

The Asterion V2 allows intuitive and easy adjustment of the gain, loading and capacitance settings to match the specific characteristics of the used phono cartridge, which helps to optimize performance and maximize sound quality.

The Asterion V2 utilizes our advanced CMT ™ technology (CANOR ® PCB Milling Technology) for optimal performance. The CMT™ technology allows us to get the dielectric loss factors (loss tangent) of PCB close to the loss factor of air. Thanks to this technology we managed to get repeatedly to the parameter level of the so-called “wire-to-wire connections“.
