Description

Modular Flexibility, Remote Convenience Ragnarok 2 has two module slots that accept the same modules that many of our other products use, for flexibility and future upgradability. Right now, there are two RCA input modules installed, for a total of two balanced inputs and three RCA inputs, ready for you to add all your line-level sources. It also comes with standard milled aluminum remote control that allows you to select source, control volume, select headphone or speaker output, mute, and set gain.Nexus: One Stage To Rule Them Ragnarok 2 debuts our unique differential Nexus gain stage for seamless interaction between single-ended and balanced sources. Nexus converts single-ended inputs to balanced outputs, and balanced inputs to single-ended outputs—in a single gain discrete gain stage, without gain differences between modes, and with good performance in all modes.Power and Control for Speakers and Headphones Ragnarok 2 delivers 60W into 8 ohms and 100W into 4 ohms, for excellent performance with most speakers. It also delivers full power through the balanced headphone jack (24W into 32 ohms) and quarter-power output from the single-ended headphone jack (6W into 32 ohms). With selectable gains of 1, 8, and 25, it’s compatible with a wide range of speakers and headphones.Easiest 128-Step Relay-Switched Volume, Ever The benefits of a relay-switched stepped attenuator for volume are clear. Compared to a potentiometer, they give you essentially perfect channel matching and near- unmeasurable distortion. However, some preamps with relay-stepped attenuators confuse you with buttons and screens. Not Ragnarok 2. Ragnarok 2 has a volume knob that works just like a volume knob—just grab and turn. And if you use the remote control, the motorized potentiometer changes to match the remote setting.
