ACT2 Owner’s Manual
1
Thank you
for selecting the conrad-johnson ACT2 advanced
composite-triode line stage preamplifier as the control center for
your audio system. The ACT2 is conrad-johnson’s latest reference
preamplifier, replacing the legendary ART. The ACT2 is capable of
remarkably faithful recreation of the dynamics, textures, tonalities,
and ambience of live musical performances. We believe that you
will experience the excitement of discovery in hearing more from
your favorite recordings than ever before.
At conrad-johnson, we expect our products to be a source of
satisfaction and of pride to their owners for many years to come.
Accordingly, circuit designs, parts and materials for all conrad-
johnson products are selected with a view to maintaining optimal
performance over the years. Our reputation for producing among
the industry’s most reliable components is a natural consequence
of this engineering approach.
Although the ACT2 has been designed to operate in an intuitively
apparent way, you will find useful information on its installation and
operation in this manual. Please take a few minutes to read the
manual to better understand the features and capabilities of your
ACT2. Note that this unit is phase inverting. See the section
entitled “Getting The Most From Your ACT2" for details on correct
hookup in your system.
In closing, we’d like to welcome you to the family of conrad-
johnson owners. We want you to enjoy your conrad-johnson
product to the fullest. To this end, our staff stands ready to answer
any questions you may have about the function and application of
your ACT2, and to provide any needed service both during, and
after the warranty period. Our goal is to heighten your enjoyment of
recorded music.
