-The phenomenal Acoustic Resonance Correction circuits located on the front panel. A tremendous improvement in reproduction in any room is guaranteed. -Shown above

The "RC" version of the FM 266-MKII includes the remote control above and additionally features the phenomenal

ARC - Acoustic Resonance Compensation

- circuits, yes, exactly the same that are incorporated in the FM 268C

​

 Located behind a protective panel on the front of the FM 266-MKII RC the ARC circuits can guarantee amelioration of reproduction by eliminating room resonances. Room modes occur when parallel surfaces create one or more pronounced resonance peaks that are superimposed on the actual music resulting in boominess and poor low and low-mid frequency definition.

The ARC is also helpful when there are resonances from other sources in the room (e.g. air conditioning or any other resonating surface or room component).

With FM ACOUSTICS new ARC circuits - all in pure analogue technology - such resonances can be corrected resulting in a much ameliorated reproduction in any listening environment. 

The set up of the ARC circuits requires knowledge and test equipment. Our official distributors perform this service at no charge to our clients.

True-impedence Attenuators

​

New settable linear impedance attenuators are on balanced inputs I, II and III.

These are very useful with today's high level components (converters, download servers, CD/DVD/Blue Ray players etc.) some of which produce excessively high output voltages - far above the standardized levels.

Such excessive levels can overload input stages and they force the user to set the Level control on the line stage to very low settings, so low that the line stage actually works as an attenuator  instead of a preamplifier.

The new input attenuators of the FM 266-MKII series lower the excessive levels whilst guaranteeing perfect balancing (not an easy feat!). This in turn results in optimized gain structure of the system and ideal Level Control setting. 

​

Optimal Gain Structure

To allow optimization of the total system gain - which differs widely from one system to another - further level switches allow fine tuning of the internal gain of the FM 266-MKII. This allows more flexibility in system gain optimization.

Any system can be set to an optimal gain structure - which improves total system performance. 

​

"HR" Modules

​

The new HR modules are used on the inputs. They help to achieve an astounding 100dB of rejection of Interference, hum, noise etc.) making the FM 266-MKII immune against such negative influence.

This outstanding interference rejection ratio is achieved not with cheap op amps but with fine-tuned discrete Class A circuit configurations guaranteeing the ultimate resolution in the unique FM ACOUSTICS way.

​

Type 19200

​

The new "HR" type 19200 modules are employed for the true balanced outputs. These new HR modules are the result of a multi-year development.

They achieve a superb level of reproduction and reliability. Never before has such a level of accuracy been achieved.

​

Resonance Eliminator Support

​

To avoid negative influence from spurious resonance and guarantee positive stability the FM 266-MKII employs unique resonance-eliminator supports.  These isolate the unit from potential resonances. 

​

Hand Selection Everywhere

​

Purpose built testing equipment allows the precision Output Level and Balance controls to be carefully hand selected.

In combination with top class interference rejection and ultra efficient shielding the highest level of musical accuracy and complete rejection of any non-music related signals is achieved.

​

Long-term Reliability

​

Small detail make all the difference.To the trained eye these are noticeable in many places. Precision soldered flexible inter-pcb connections protect from potential vibration damage and contact problems this even in harsh environments.
