iFi Audio ZEN Phono

A phono preamplifier is about as necessary to a turntable as oxygen is to breathing - after all, it is the one that amplifies the very low output signal from the cartridge to an audible signal. Some phono preamplifiers are built into turntables or stereo amplifiers, but are severely limited in what they can do. Don't have a phono preamp or just want to upgrade? Then you will find an affordable alternative with the ZEN Phono.

The ZEN Phono is an exceptional phono preamplifier. Using AMR / iFi's trickle-down technology, a phono preamplifier has been created that offers features, performance and appealing design with excellent value, bringing sound to any room. The ZEN Phono's noise floor is extremely low at -90 / 96 dB on MM and MC respectively (36 / 60 dB, BAL 2 V / SE 1 V, A-weighted). Both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridge systems with output voltages as low as < 0,25 mV bis >2 mV can be < 0,25 mV bis >connected, helping inexperienced vinyl collectors achieve high-end performance and flexibility. A special intelligent subsonic filter can distinguish between record distortion and true bass response, allowing low and mid frequencies to pass through unchanged. All in all, these features ensure a hassle-free listening experience without unwanted noise and complicated setup.
