Dedicated Optical Cartridge Input
The E-2 VER2 features the same XLR connector for separated power supply cables as employed in the E-3, maximizing the unique advantages of optical cartridges.

Advanced Analog Circuit for Optical Cartridges
The fully balanced, non-NFB “New Type-R” (*) circuit from the E-3 has been directly implemented, ensuring uncompromising fidelity and musical expression.

Refined MC/MM Circuit
The MC/MM stages have been significantly simplified with a newly designed bias circuit, achieving a notable improvement in sound quality and overall performance.

Enhanced Chassis design
The unfixed top cover, also adopted in the A-2 VER2, has been further refined to contribute to sonic purity and resonance control.

Extended Flexibility
MC loading is now supported up to 1 kΩ, offering greater compatibility with a wide range of cartridges. Furthermore, all of the original’s versatile features, including adjustable EQ curve functionality, have been fully retained.

Notes on this product

Temperature settings
The circuit current in SOULNOTE products relies on solutions with the highest emphasis on sound quality and safety. Functionality and sound quality generally improve when the transistors operate at higher temperature.。

Anti-vibration housing
SOULNOTE products place the highest emphasis on sound quality, so the top cover, chassis, and other components do not employ vibration isolation.

Regarding use of electronic equipment cleaners and contact rejuvenation products on SOULNOTE products
Commercially available electronic equipment cleaners and contact rejuvenation products could damage the resin components of SOULNOTE AC inlets. Do not use these types of chemical products on SOULNOTE equipment.
