LPE-2
INTRODUCTION
The LPE-2
Analog Legacy
is a hand-crafted collection of Millennia's essential preamplifier
and equalizer circuitry tailored specifically for the needs of archiving and mastering profes-
sionals, and serious audiophiles requiring a sonically uncompromised analog front-end.
The LPE-2 is a selectable mono or stereo processing chain which can be used with virtu-
ally any modern or legacy phonograph cartridge. Any known type of legacy record press-
ing (78, 45, 33, etc.) can be compensated perfectly with the LPE-2, including vertical
groove processes.
When the LPE-2 does not offer a precise preset compensation point or loading character-
istic, the user may define virtually any custom parameter via plug-in passive components.
The LPE-2 offers a discrete-hybrid signal path from input to output, employing both
bipolar and field-effect transistors where they are best applied for Millennia's hallmark
sonic invisibility and dynamic uniformity. The LPE-2 accepts balanced line level or phono
level input via gold XLR connectors. Outputs are both XLR and RCA phono. Mains
powering is worldwide, universal.
