iFi Audio ZEN Air Phono External Special Turntable Phono Preamplifier
Enjoy a purer listening experience with the ZEN Air Phono, our super affordable phono stage. A phono stage, also called a phono pre-amp, provides the connection between the record cartridge/pickup (stylus) and the amplifier. Turntable cartridges output a very small signal. This signal needs amplifying up to several hundred times the original size before it is loud enough for your amplifier. A phono stage increases the signal level from millivolts to volts.
Features:
- Hi-res phono stage for turntables – make the most of your treasured vinyl collection
- Audiophile design with symmetrical channel layout – high-end performance without the price
- Ultra-low noise – hear every drop of detail against a super-quiet background
- Expertly engineered for MM and MC cartridges
- Precise RIAA equalisation to satisfy the most demanding vinyl enthusiasts
- Sophisticated subsonic filter setting for warped records
- Gold-plated RCA inputs/outputs

Manufacture Description
Purer still
Listening to music on vinyl is good for the soul. It sounds purer than listening to a track via your phone or computer.
Make this experience purer still by reducing hiss, noise and rumble on your records with the ZEN Air Phono.
MC and MM
There are two kinds of turntable cartridge – Moving Magnet and Moving Coil – and the ZEN Air Phono works with both of them.
The MM setting is for cartridges with an output voltage of 2mV and higher. The MC setting for outputs less than 2mV. You use the gain switch on the rear to change this setting.
It also has a precise RIAA equalisation setting to satisfy the most demanding vinyl lover.
Engage warp drive
As we all know, records can become warped with age. With the ZEN Air Phono any warp on your records will be driven away by our ‘subsonic filter’.
Normal subsonic filters remove ‘rumble’ AND bass and cause phase issues.
Our unique AI phono sub-sonic filter removes ‘rumble’ only.
