## Description

Incredibly high performance phono preamp—even at many times the price. 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 all-new Mani 2 sets the standard for performance and capability in an affordable phono stage. Simply Stunning Performance Mani 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 Filtering Mani 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: Fast delivery. Great packaging. Item worked well. Came 5 days earlier than expected . Seller emailed about why tracking would not be available. Excellent delivery and communication.
Review: 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the schiit or does it sound like schiit? lol**
A: It's the SCHIIT!!!

**Q: Does the Schitt Mani 2 have a 3 prong outlet adapter?**
A: No. It uses a separate AC adapter.

**Q: What cables does it come with and how long length are they?**
A: The Mani 2 comes with a power supply. 16 vac 1000amp 115v. 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.

*by M***0 on 26 May 2025*

I bought this pre amp to see if it would improve the sound over my Yamaha AS801 onboard phono stage. It is a slight improvement. It took a while to break it in and for the sound to really clean up but it offers a slight improvement over what I had before.
