The Evolution 222 brings the advanced technologies and inspired design of the Evolution 202 to single chassis format. Often overlooked, the preamplifier is a critical component in the signal chain. A small signal must be carefully amplified without damaging the ephemeral staging and dimensional components of the music.

Heard through the Evolution 202, music emanates from an expanse that outlines the recording venue, transporting you to the moment of creation.

The Evolution 222 is the perfect companion for the Evolution 402 Amplifier and Evolution 505 Source.
