Flagship hybrid integrated amplifier • 12AU7 vacuum tube preamplifier stage • 250W/ch Class D power output • adjustable MM/MC phono stage • tube-driven headphone amplifier
The Rogue Audio Pharaoh II Integrated Amplifier stands as Rogue Audio's flagship hybrid integrated component, combining the rich holographic texture of tube preamplification with massive solid-state power. Delivering a formidable 250 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms (and 400 Watts into 4 Ohms), this reference amplifier features a pair of 12AU7 preamplifier tubes, an adjustable MM/MC phono circuit, a tube-driven headphone section, balanced XLR inputs, and a heavy linear power supply engineered to control demanding loudspeakers with absolute ease.
Key Features & Innovations
Flagship hybrid tube/Class D power architecture — the Rogue Audio Pharaoh II Integrated Amplifier pairs a low-noise 12AU7 vacuum tube preamplifier stage with high-efficiency Class D output modules for sweet tube harmonic resolution backed by effortless dynamic punch.
Massive 250W/channel output capacity — delivers 250 Watts RMS per channel into 8 Ohms and 400 Watts into 4 Ohms, gripping low-frequency drivers for articulate, deep bass control.
High-performance user-adjustable MM/MC phono stage — completely redesigned internal phono preamplifier features user-configurable DIP switches for custom resistance loading and gain settings (45dB / 60dB).
Tube-driven discrete headphone amplifier — utilizes the 12AU7 tube preamplifier circuit to drive a high-power headphone amplifier stage for exceptional clarity with audiophile headphones.
Handcrafted in the USA with linear power supply — built in Pennsylvania using an oversized toroidal transformer, heavy copper circuit traces, premium Mundorf capacitors, and a solid machined aluminum faceplate.
FAQ — Pharaoh II
How does the Pharaoh II differ from the Sphinx v3?
The Rogue Audio Pharaoh II Integrated Amplifier is Rogue's flagship hybrid model, offering more than double the power output (250W vs 100W), balanced XLR inputs, a beefier linear power supply, upgraded internal components (such as Mundorf coupling caps), and a tube-driven headphone amplifier stage.
Can I connect balanced sources to the Pharaoh II?
Yes. The rear panel includes a dedicated pair of balanced XLR inputs alongside multiple single-ended RCA inputs and a Processor/Home Theater pass-through loop.
How do I adjust the settings for my phono cartridge?
Internal DIP switches allow you to toggle gain levels for Moving Magnet (MM) or Moving Coil (MC) cartridges and select optimal resistive loading values matching your cartridge specs.
Does it include a remote control?
Yes, it includes a machined aluminum system remote control for precision volume adjustment and mute functions.
