Rogue RP-5 V2 Preamplifier

The Rouge RP-5 was the first preamplifier based on our groundbreaking new RP-X platform. The Rogue RP-5 v2 Preamplifier builds upon award-winning heritage with world-class technology borrowed from the RP-7, RP-9, RH-5, and Triton II. The new RP-5 v2 improves both sound quality and overall performance well beyond that of the original.

The new volume control circuit now has the same refinement as the RP-7 and RP-9 with 0.5dB steps for more precise control and a lower noise floor. The headphone circuit incorporates technology from the RH-5, and with both improved sound and power, it will get the best performance from even the most difficult-to-drive headphones.

The phono stage in the RP-5 v2 is now directly derived from our Triton II dedicated phono preamp. The RP-5 v2's new phono circuit is quieter, better sounding, and has higher gain than its predecessor. With four different user-adjustable levels of gain ranging from 43dB to 65dB you can easily accommodate virtually any cartridge. A wide variety of loading options means your favorite cartridge can be precisely configured to sound its very best.

Other features include a home theater bypass, processor loop, and mono function. The ten-button remote allows you to conveniently access volume, balance, selector, mute, mono and on/off from your listening position.

The display of the RP-5 v2 has also been upgraded to an easy-to-read and defeatable OLED display with improved contrast. The soft blue display provides volume, balance, and source information in large easy-to-read characters.
