SC-2 Mini/Phono


Due to extended component shortages - we expect this product to remain in limited production for the remainder of 2023.  Limited production means we will offer inventory on a first come first serve basis ship to US customers only unless agreed to otherwise.

The SC-2 Mini/Phono integrates SweetVinyl’s latest version 2.0 recording functions from the top-of-the-line SC-2 in the form factor of the SC-1 Mini/Phono and includes SweetVinyl’s new phono stage.

The SC-2 Mini/Phono is SweetVinyl’s best value as it incorporates Discogs-based Album Metadata Tagging as well as easy to use track splitting. Also included: Push-button Recording, USB3 port for USB drives, & LCD display along with all the features of the SC-1 Mini/Phono.

Rear panel push-buttons select Line-in or Phono as well as MC or MM cartridges. It features gold-platted RCA connectors, an RJ-45 Ethernet port, and USB-A connections.

The SC-2 Mini/Phono provides hours of enjoyment from previously unplayable LPs in any collection, while creating digital copies in virtually any digital format.

The SC-2 Mini/Phono’s flawless Click & Pop removal process benefits from the latest algorithm update with version 2.0 software which also includes SweetVinyl’s latest LP recording system.

The iOS, Android, and laptop apps provide remote control of the Click & Pop removal and device bypass. The recording and track splitting functions work best from the laptop app.

The front-panel USB3 port will accommodate any USB storage device for saving recordings in any digital format (except DSD.)

The high-quality phono stage has gain and input loading with rear panel controls. The pre-amp provides a  razor flat RIAA response, a 3-pole rumble filter, and a remarkable 10Hz to 60kHz bandwidth for exceptional transient response and very tight bass.
