In true ASR fashion, dynamic swells are the Mini’s pride. There is a wide range between soft and loud, and low-end volleys are capable of giving you a decent pummeling. Those volleys won’t come packaged with breakup. In the area of dynamics the Mini rates very high. In making sound engineering choices that have decanted into an attainable “mini” package much of the magic of the big Basis Exclusive, ASR has produced yet another example of German engineering excellence. The RCA inputs, internal DIP switches make possible a vast variety of loading options (from 22 to 47k ohms) and gain options (from 30dB to 72dB, in 6dB increments), to optimize the MBE for use with virtually any cartridge.
