The Brinkmann Marconi Mk II is a reference line preamplifier engineered to preserve musical integrity through an exceptionally transparent signal path and uncompromising circuit design. Designed and manufactured in Germany, it combines Helmut Brinkmann’s latest hybrid circuitry with extensive input configuration and precise volume control, delivering exceptional clarity, dynamic expression and the ability to drive virtually any power amplifier with ease.
Brinkmann’s hybrid circuit combines ultra-low-noise bipolar transistors with carefully selected NOS Telefunken valves, using each technology where it performs best. Individual input gain trim, a motorised analogue volume control and balanced output stage contribute to outstanding signal integrity, while remote-controlled input selection, phase inversion and stored input settings make the Marconi Mk II equally refined in daily use and ultimate system performance.
