Designed for systems that require fewer source components, the Revelation 2 preserves the uncompromising performance that defines the brand while introducing Constellation's advanced external Switch-Mode Power Supply (C-SMPS) for exceptionally clean, stable power delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt the heart of the Revelation 2 is Constellation's exclusive Line Stage Gain Module, delivering remarkable transparency, dimensionality, and musical realism that reveal every nuance of a recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature Constellation Circuitry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Revelation 2 is built around Constellation's acclaimed Line Stage Gain Module, featuring a fully balanced, mirror-imaged circuit topology with hand-matched, ultra-low-noise transistors. A precision servo circuit continuously monitors channel balance and automatically corrects even the smallest inconsistencies, preserving signal integrity from input to output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen paired with a Constellation power amplifier, the Revelation 2 can connect directly to the amplifier's Constellation Direct XLR input, bypassing the amplifier's input stage entirely. The result is an even shorter, purer signal path with enhanced transparency and musical expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated C-SMPS Power Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Revelation 2 incorporates Constellation's proprietary Switch-Mode Power Supply (C-SMPS), the result of years of engineering development focused on surpassing the limitations of conventional transformer-based power supplies. The advanced design delivers DC power that is more than 20 dB quieter while maintaining consistent performance regardless of fluctuations in incoming AC voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor maximum isolation, the power supply resides in its own precision-machined aluminum enclosure, shielding the sensitive analog circuitry from electrical interference and ensuring the quietest possible operating environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Dual-Mono Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEvery Revelation 2 Preamplifier is constructed as a genuine dual-mono component, with perfectly mirrored left and right channel layouts. Each channel maintains completely independent signal paths, while the corresponding inputs and outputs remain physically separated across the rear panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUnlike many dual-mono preamplifiers that combine signal paths at the input or output connections, the Revelation 2 preserves channel separation throughout the entire circuit, contributing to exceptional imaging, expansive soundstaging, and outstanding channel isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElegant Simplicity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Revelation 2 combines sophisticated engineering with effortless operation.
