2510 Series

The phono stage comes in the box, not the invoice.

The way into full-width Exposure. Five line inputs, a moving-magnet phono stage built in as standard, and a preamplifier output for the day you add a power amplifier. Designed and built in Lancing, West Sussex.

The way in

Every range needs a first step. This is Exposure's.

Full-width casework, the same three-year guarantee, and the same short-path thinking as the boxes above it — at half the weight and half the power consumption. The phono stage is fitted rather than optional, so a turntable needs nothing else. When the system outgrows it, the preamplifier output means the 2510 can stay on as a control unit while a bigger power amplifier does the work.

One bay

One slot. Four boards. Choose deliberately.

  • MM phonoFor moving magnet cartridges.
  • MC phonoFor moving coil cartridges.
  • DS AudioFor DS Audio optical cartridges. An unusual factory option at this price.
  • DAC+BNC or optical in, plus USB to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD. All-discrete output stage, no integrated circuits in the signal path.

The chassis takes one board at a time, and a fitted board uses one of the six line inputs — so it is six line inputs, or five plus a board.

Power, Vinyl, Distortion

A phono stage you do not have to buy.

75W per channel into 8 ohms

Enough for most real rooms and most real speakers, from full-width Exposure casework at half the weight of the 3510.

2.5mV phono sensitivity

A moving-magnet stage on AUX 1, fitted as standard. 47 kilohms, signal-to-noise better than 72 dB, nothing to add and nothing to pay for.

0.015% distortion

At 1 kHz and rated power, with a signal-to-noise ratio better than 100 dB A-weighted. The entry point is not where the engineering stops.

Does the 2510 take a plug-in phono or DAC board?
No. The moving-magnet phono stage is built in as standard on AUX 1, so there is nothing to add for vinyl. The plug-in bay is documented for the 3510 and 5510 only. If you need moving coil or digital, that points you at the 3510.
Can I add a power amplifier later?
Yes. The 2510 carries a preamplifier output at +12 dB referenced to the line input, so you can add a 3510 Stereo Power Amplifier or a pair of monoblocks and keep the 2510 as the control unit.
What cartridge suits the built-in phono stage?
A moving-magnet cartridge. The input takes 2.5 mV at 1 kHz into 47 kilohms with a signal-to-noise ratio better than 72 dB, which is the standard moving-magnet loading. Moving-coil cartridges need a step-up or a dedicated stage such as the XM3.
About the Exposure 2510 Integrated Amplifier - 75W Audiophile Amp with Phono Stage

The Gateway Drug to British Hi-Fi

Every legendary range needs a way in, and the Exposure 2510 Integrated Amplifier is Exposure's: 75 watts per channel of hand-built, Class AB British amplification — with a proper moving magnet phono stage fitted as standard. It's the direct descendant of the amplifier that started it all in 1974, refined through generations of much-loved models into the 2510, which earned an Amplifier of the Year nod on its debut. Two knobs, one remote, zero gimmicks — and that dense, full-bodied, enveloping sound British amplifiers were famous for before feature lists took over. If the classic "British sound" is a language, the 2510 speaks it fluently.

Simple Outside. Serious Inside.

The front panel offers exactly what you need — volume, input selection, power — because the budget went where Exposure always spends it: inside. A fast bipolar transistor output stage delivers dynamic, vivid performance with genuine drive; cascode circuitry improves power supply immunity; high-quality capacitors line the signal path on a uniquely tuned, short-signal-path PCB; and the all-aluminium casework with extruded front panel keeps resonance and stray electromagnetic fields in check. Input selection happens through relays, not cheap switches. The result is a warm, dense, wonderfully coherent presentation that makes every recording enjoyable — the timbre Exposure owners have recognized across five decades, in its most accessible form yet.

Vinyl-Ready Out of the Box

Here's the 2510's quiet advantage over its bigger siblings: where the 3510 and 5510 treat phono as an optional module, the 2510 includes a quality MM phono stage as standard. Plug in a turntable — say, the Exposure 360, which ships without a phono stage for exactly this reason — fit your favourite moving magnet cartridge, and you have a complete, matched British vinyl amplification chain with nothing extra to buy. Five line inputs handle the rest of your sources, an AV bypass input integrates with home cinema, and tape and preamp outputs keep future upgrade paths open.

Why You'll Love the Exposure 2510

  • MM phono stage fitted as standard — vinyl-ready from the first unboxing
  • 75 W per channel, Class AB — fast bipolar output stage with real speaker-driving ability

  • Audiophile internals — cascode circuitry, quality capacitors, relay input switching, short signal paths
  • System-friendly — five line inputs, AV bypass, tape output, and separate preamp out
  • True Exposure lineage — the modern heir to the amplifier line that founded the company in 1974
  • Hand-built in England — all-aluminium casework, remote included, 3-year warranty

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Exposure 2510 have a phono stage built in?

Yes — a moving magnet (MM) phono stage is fitted as standard, unlike the 3510 and 5510 where phono boards are optional extras. For moving coil cartridges, you'll want an external MC phono stage or a step-up transformer.

What's the difference between the Exposure 2510 and 3510?

The 3510 steps up to 110 W with monoblock-derived circuitry, a module slot (MM, MC, or DAC), and a headphone output. The 2510 offers 75 W with the MM phono stage included in the price — for vinyl-first listeners with average-sensitivity speakers, it's the smarter value; for more power, headphone listening, or MC/DAC flexibility, choose the 3510.

Is 75 watts per channel enough power?

For most real rooms and speakers, comfortably. The 2510 delivers 75 W into 8 ohms and 125 W into 4 ohms with the current reserves to drive typical stand-mount and floorstanding speakers — including easy loads like the Guru range — to serious levels. Very insensitive speakers or very large rooms are where the 3510's extra headroom earns its keep.

What turntable pairs well with the Exposure 2510?

The natural partner is Exposure's own 360 turntable — it ships without a phono stage or cartridge precisely so you can use the 2510's built-in MM stage and a cartridge of your choice, creating a single-brand vinyl system voiced end to end in Britain.
