INDEX
Sonum © H2O Evolution II is the result of our strong desire to be the rst Italian company on the market
to ever create a discreet-component Class A Preamplier/DI featuring state-of-the- art technology,
unprecedented input level gain (+69db), ultra-low noise and maximum transparency. In other words,
an incredible Line Mic, Hi-z preamplier of superb quality. We wanted the H2O Evolution iI to have
a wonderful design as well. Every single component was conceived, designed and manufactured
exclusively for Sonum© following our constant search for personality.
Our mission is creating new professional products featuring quality, state-of the-art technology and a
great design.
So why the name Sonum © ?
This word comes from the Latin “Sonus, Soni” and it exactly means sound! No other words could
better merge the Italian origins of our products and their unbelievable sound quality. This word can
also be translated with the following terms: canto, verse, accent, tone, character, sonority, musicality.
H2O too is not just a randomly chosen name. It perfectly reects the qualities of its clean, transparent,
uid and strong sound. All features that water has!
The state-of-the-art technology used to build this preamp (trasformer-less solid state PS,
with discreet Class A components for instance) makes the H2O Evolution II the perfect
professional solution whenever ultra-low noise, incredible gain, sound transparency as well
as an unprecedented transient processing speed are required.
These outstanding features are a must when it comes to faithfully recording classic and
acoustic guitars, voices, strings, brass sections and pianos.
Sonum © H2O Evolution II is perfect for every single instrument.
