The PRE G2 is a preamplifier from Audionet, built with rich connectivity and an exceptionally wide rated bandwidth. This model represents Audionet's serious current preamplifier offering, extending the brand's characteristic measurement-focused engineering philosophy into a comprehensive connectivity package.
Position in line
It sits alongside the MACH and PRE I G3 in Audionet's preamplifier hierarchy. This positioning alongside the MACH and PRE I G3 suggests Audionet offers a graduated preamplifier catalogue, each variant likely differentiated by specific tier and connectivity emphasis.
Key specs that matter
One balanced and five single-ended inputs are provided, with two balanced and three single-ended outputs, a rich connectivity set. Output impedance is 22 ohms for both balanced and single-ended connections, a low figure well suited to driving a power amplifier without cable-related signal loss. Rated bandwidth is an extraordinary 0 Hz to 2 000 000 Hz, an exceptionally wide window even by high-end standards. Signal-to-noise exceeds 120 dB, an exceptionally strong figure. At 430 x 140 x 420 mm and 15 kg it is a substantial chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect an extremely wide-bandwidth, low-noise presentation with rich connectivity - a reference-level performer reflecting Audionet's characteristic German engineering ambition applied to preamplification, with the exceptional 2 MHz bandwidth figure suggesting considerable engineering margin well beyond audible range.
Pairing
The low 22 ohm output impedance suits driving a power amplifier or long cable runs cleanly, and the rich six-input connectivity covers an extensive multi-source system.
Alternatives
Audionet's MACH and PRE I G3 sit alongside this model in the brand's preamplifier hierarchy, worth comparing directly with a dealer on specific tier and connectivity before choosing between these positioned Audionet preamplifiers. Audionet extensive dealer network makes arranging a direct comparison against both the MACH and PRE I G3 practical, helping clarify exactly where this specific model fits within the brand broader preamplifier hierarchy. A dealer demonstration alongside a matching Audionet power amplifier helps judge the full measure of a coherently voiced system. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare current pricing across Audionet preamplifier catalogue.
