SPL Phonos red

Phonos is a phono preamplifier designed in VOLTAiR technology for record players using either moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) cartridges. The equalization curve is according to RIAA and suitable for all vinyl records since 1954. With up to 70 dB of gain for MC cartridges and 51 dB of gain for MM cartridges Phonos belongs to the most powerful phono preamplifiers.

VOLTAiR technology:

120V Rail Technology is developed and manufactured to run on an operating voltage of 120 volts, which corresponds to twice that of discrete operational amplifiers and four-times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers. Technically especially in terms of dynamic range and headroom and sonically especially in reproducing the finest details and delivering a totally relaxed sounding audio experience. Music sounds absolutely natural and hearing fatigue is drastically reduced.
