The FM 255 was manufactured continuously for 11 years and has been the most successful of all preamplifiers/line stages thanks to its superb price/performance ratio.
The new MKII is a refinement of the original version with some additional features and fine ameliorations. Below the description of the earlier FM 255 which made audio history.

  • Proprietary enhanced Class A circuitry
  • CMRR of 95 dB (= 100-1000 times better than other so-called "balanced" equipment)
  • Featuring two true balanced inputs and three unbalanced inputs
  • Discrete Class A tape send and return guarantees superior recordings or connection to auxiliary equipment.
  • Unparalleled freedom from noise & interference
  • Tremendous headroom and reserves in input signal handling capability (+21dBv!)
  • Identical balanced input paths
  • All input & output impedances are perfectly linear over full frequency range
  • Sensors in the true balanced outputs automatically optimise performance
  • Fully discrete circuitry using special curve-tracer analysed and listening-selected semi-conductors
  • Outputs drive any load and long cables with perfect reproduction and stability
  • Precision balance and output level controls are used; no stepped attenuators, relay-type or inferior sounding optical or digital volume controls
  • Transformer utilises a special dual shield that prevents stray fields.
  • Extremely low impedance built-in power supply
  • Hand-selected and individually matched components of DIN, IEC & MIL standards
  • Totally modular concept guarantees that the FM 255 does not become obsolete
  • The Resolution Series ® 255 is THE ultimate precision preamplifier center for use with true-balanced, pseudo- balanced and unbalanced sources
