MICROZOTL MZ2

About the MICROZOTL MZ2

The Linear Tube Audio MICROZOTL MZ2 is a versatile HiFi product that serves as both a preamplifier and a headphone amplifier. It is part of the Berning ZH OTL (output transformerless) tube amplifier family, which includes the ZH270 and the Sigfried. The MZ2 is designed to provide a clear and detailed sound, leveraging the benefits of tube amplification without the need for output transformers, which can limit frequency response and add weight to the unit. It operates in push-pull Class A with no feedback, ensuring a pure and linear sound output. The amplifier is lightweight, weighing about 9.7 lbs, due to its transformerless design. It offers a sensitivity of 0.6V RMS for full output and has an output impedance of approximately 2 ohms. The MZ2 supports auto-switching power supply inputs for global compatibility and consumes about 33W of power. It is capable of delivering 1W into a 4-ohm load and 0.5W into a 14-ohm load, both at 1% THD. The frequency response is flat from 10Hz to 20kHz, making it suitable for high-fidelity audio applications.
