Meridian G-02 Pre-amp

Meridian is so popular in the digital world their analogue two channel products did not get a lot of press but this pre-amp is amazing sounding. Pre-amp is in amazing condition!

Meridian has a strong reputation for preamps, and the G02’s predecessor, the 502, was no exception. Building on the success of the 502, the Meridian G02 is a true dual-mono analogue control unit/preamplifier with an extremely highquality power supply for ultra-low noise and distortion. Featuring a fully-balanced signal path throughout, it is an ideal complement for the G Series power amplifiers and is particularly suited to those who wish to maintain a balanced, analogue signal path at the very highest quality of reproduction. Although Meridian is today best-known for its digital circuitry, it is a company built on analogue roots, and indeed, superb analogue circuit design and implementation are important parts of all Meridian products, whether their inputs and outputs are analogue or digital. Balanced operation has always been preferred in the professional audio industry, as it can significantly reduce hum and noise and make the system immune to interference. The G02 brings this philosophy to the G Series. Including both a preamplifier and controller, the G02 dual-mono control unit provides no less than seven two-channel analogue inputs. Four of these – nominally designated Aux, Radio, TV and VCR (though these designations can be changed) – are unbalanced; while the remaining three – CD, Tape and Disc – offer balanced inputs on XLR connectors.
