Manufactured in Canada

The Six Acoustics Belmont is a high-performance phono preamplifier designed for both moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges. Built in Canada, it combines low-noise JFET input stages and precise gain control to bring vinyl playback clarity and musicality to dedicated audio systems.

Details

Featuring separate MM and MC inputs, the Belmont accommodates two turntables simultaneously. A discrete JFET front end ensures ultra-low noise and high fidelity, while front-panel controls provide subsonic filtering, mute functionality, and fine gain adjustment. Cartridge loading settings—complete with varied resistance and capacitance options—are easily configured via rear-panel switches.

Features

• Dual MM and MC inputs with selectable 40 dB and 60 dB gain settings.
• Discrete JFET input stage with exceptionally low noise.
• Independent RCA and balanced XLR outputs for versatile connectivity.
• Front-panel subsonic filter and mute controls for practical operation.
• Fine gain trim dial allows ±12 dB adjustment in small increments.
• Rear-panel cartridge loading adjusts MC resistance (from 33 Ω to 47 kΩ) and MM capacitance (0–520 pF).
• Handcrafted in Canada with premium components throughout.
