About

Equipped with a patented hybrid passive attenuator that delivers a very fresh sound

As well as CM-2200, CM-1500 is equipped with Phasemation's patented “Hybrid Passive Attenuator” that achieves the ideal preamplifier having high input impedance and low output impedance. This ideal design, which is a combination of taking only the pros of the resistive type and transformer type attenuators, plays a highly expressive sound with a high degree of clarity

 

A new development for balanced and optimally coiled attenuator for superior sound image localization

For the attenuator transformer, we adopted a balanced attenuator transformer with two attenuator windings for the HOT and COLD sides of the balanced connection coiled onto a single transformer. Furthermore, since there are two attenuator windings, the COLD side signal is generated inside the transformer even for an unbalanced input, enabling a complete balanced output. The balanced volume control circuit transformer produces excellent frequency and phase characteristics over a wide range, reduces phase distortion within the audible bandwidth, and above all, contributes to a clearer and sharper sound image localization

 

 

3 step gain switching (-10, 0, +6 dB) making any volume setting to be possible

The balanced attenuator transformer with +6 dB gain that was used in the CM-2200 is also adopted for CM-1500. The CM-1500 has three gain switching of +6dB/0/-10dB, which, in combination with the attenuator's 23 contacting-points that can be changed within a range of 0 dB to -50 dB, allows even finer volume settings. The transformer winding structure has been re-examined to ensure a wide-range frequency response and guarantee impedance characteristics regardless of which combination is selected so that the CM-1500's fine, clear sound image localization can be enjoyed at any gain level. The CM-1500 is now available at a price that makes it affordable for many people, due to improved productivity with the use of printed circuit boards and a simplified chassis structure.

 

 

Balanced/unbalanced outputs can be used at the same time

Three unbalanced (RCA) and two balanced (XLR) are provided for the input. Unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) are provided for the two outputs and the circuit design allows simultaneous outputs and therefore improves the flexibility of the system construction.

 

 

Core and winding materials of high performance reproducing a high low-range reality and a subtle high-range.

The core material of the transformer is the same “ultra-thin 0.1mm super malloy material” as used in the CM-2200 high-end model. The winding material also uses PC-TripleC polyurethane wire, which is the most suitable wire for audio materials to achieve excellent low-range linearity and subtle and relaxed high-ranged characteristics in combination with a large core.

 

 

Thoroughly eliminates external induced hums and unwanted vibrations to produce pure, blur-free sounds

The core material of the transformer is the same “ultra-thin 0.1mm super malloy material” as used in the CM-2200 high-end model. The winding material also uses PC-TripleC polyurethane wire, which is the most suitable wire for audio materials to achieve excellent low-range linearity and subtle and relaxed high-ranged characteristics in combination with a large core.

 

Adoption of parts for various high-quality that improves the expression in detail

All rotary switches are gold-plated, and the RCA terminals are machined brass and gold-plated having high quality and the XLR terminals are gold-plated terminals made by Neutrik, which contributes to the improvement of a thorough expression.

FAQs

Please read our FAQ before sending us a message.

How is my order processed ?

Once we have received your order and your payment, we issue you an invoice that will be mailed to you with a reference number for your order. Once your order is ready : it will be dispatched to you with insurance and tracking number.

Which payment methos are available in the Online Shop ?

You can choose between Paypal, bank transfer or Credit Card. Please take in consideration that payment via bank transfer will slightly delay the processing of your order as we have to receive your funds on our bank account to confirm your order.

Why are there different estimated delays prior to sending for some of the products

One of the politics of Ana Mighty Sound  is that every order is unique and made for a single customer. You will find next to each item an estimated delay prior to delivery. We will do our best to fulfill it before this delay (and most of the time we do).

Please keep in mind that we are a 100% human company working all over the Old World (Europe) and that we do commit to deliver you the best made / best quality product available, and to insure that : this can take some time.

Of course… some of our products are in stock !

Can I specify a courrier for my order ?

Yes you can ! Just drop us a line in the « additional remarks » of your mail order. This may add additional fees to your order. We can work with DHL, TNT, FedEX, UPS, French La Poste or Chronopost.

What if I have received the wrong item ?

In the very unlikely case this would happen just send us a photo of what you received and we will send you a courrier to fetch the item back. Once we have checked it out, we will send you the correct item.

My items are not up to specifications, what should I do ?

This is highly improbable as we use the most modern techniques to insure that our products are up to specs. In fact we even have a dedicated person checking that every single item is in perfect condition prior to shipping. Of course it can happen, but we doubt it seriously. In any case if you were bothered by something : just send us an email and we will sort it out with you.

I am very happy/disappointed with my order and I want you to know it ?

Please do not hesitate to drop us a line and we will be always happy to answer all of your requests. Our aim is your complete satisfaction.
