iFi Audio turntable preamplifier - ZEN Air Phono, black

Audiophiles and music enthusiasts looking for an affordable yet high-quality phono preamplifier will be thrilled with the ZEN Air Phono - a standalone preamplifier that works with MM and MC phono cartridges.

The ZEN Air Phono provides 40 to 64 dB of gain with a super-quiet noise floor (-151 dB). The integrated subsonic filter tackles distortion without eliminating bass or causing phase issues.

There are two types of phono cartridges - moving magnet and moving coil - and the ZEN Air Phono works with both. The MM setting is for cartridges with an output voltage of 2mV and higher, while the MC setting is for outputs below 2mV. Use the gain switch on the rear to change this setting.

The ZEN Air Phono also has a precise RIAA equalizer setting to satisfy even the most demanding vinyl lover.

Additional features:

• Channel Separation: > 75dB (1kHz all modes);
• Max Output Voltage: RMS6.5V RMS 600Ω(<1% THD & N);
• Gain: MM 40dB / MC 64dB;
• Input Impedance: MM 47k / MC 1k;
• Total Harmonic Distortion: MC <-80dB / 0.01% re 1V, MM <-90dB / 0.005% re 1V.
