"The Cyrus 40 PPA is a hugely talented, upgradeable phono stage that is packed with useful features.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
The ultimate vinyl lovers accessory
For those that want to hear the very best from their treasured records, the Cyrus 40 PPA is a system essential. Featuring an advanced, ultra-low noise circuit, it reveals the most subtle nuances of music that other phono pre-amps simply gloss over. With four turntable inputs, each with extensive MC cartridge adjustment, it makes the ideal vinyl hub for anyone with more than one turntable. Presented in the premium, glass-fronted 40 Series casing, with capacitive touch control, this phono pre-amp is a joy to use.
Engineered for the finest sound quality
For the cleanest sound, with ultra-low levels of background noise, the 40 PPA is engineered to the highest standards. This starts with a 6-layer PCB, that reduces interference to near zero levels. The power supply is 20% quieter than previous models, further improving the music’s dynamic scale. High quality components used throughout ensure sonic precision and the most natural sound possible.
Connect up to four turntables
Ideal for the vinyl enthusiast, the 40 PPA features a class-leading, four turntable inputs. This makes it a perfect choice if you’re switching between, for example, your favourite turntables for Classical, 78s, rock/pop and DJ use.
Configure the input to optimise the sound
For cartridge matching versatility, this Cyrus phono pre-amp lets you switch between MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil) cartridges. Taking this further, MC inputs are user configurable for gain. What’s more, this can be done in real time, via the remote control, letting you hear the change in sound ‘live’ as it happens. MC inputs are also configurable for load and capacitance.
Banish ‘cone wobble’ and ground hum
With a built-in warp filter, you can reduce the alarming sight of your bass woofers rapidly pulsating. A ground lift switch helps to eliminate system ground hum issues, letting you enjoy the music, even during the quietest moments.
Balanced XLR outputs for studio-grade connectivity
Fitted with both RCA (unbalanced) and XLR balanced outputs, the 40 PPA offers the option of studio quality connection. If your amplifier has XLR inputs, then we’d highly recommend using the XLR connections, as these reduce interference, giving less distortion and a smoother sound – especially over longer cable runs.
40 Series – a bold new style
The 40 Series represents a fresh contemporary style for Cyrus. The 40 PPA maintains the ‘half size’ case that’s been a Cyrus design signature since the ‘80s, but brings it bang up-to-date with a sleek contemporary style. Presented in a brushed and anodised aluminium finish, it instantly has a premium look and feel. A big step up from previous Cyrus products is the 5” hi-res colour screen with toughened glass panel. Combined with the capacitive touch controls it gives the 40 Series a sleek modern style with timeless elegance.
40 PSU port for the next step-up
As impressive as the 40 PPA is, it can be made even better by adding a 40 PSU power supply. Over the past three decades, Cyrus’s famous power supplies have been a ‘must have’ upgrade, and the latest 40 PSU is no different. This unassuming little box transforms the sound of many Cyrus products, unlocking extra layers of detail and expanding the music’s dynamic impact. Adding a 40 PSU to the 40PPA makes a considerable difference, with the high current power supply providing a cleaner and more generous supply of power.
USB-A and RJ45 Ethernet for firmware updates
New for the 40 Series phono pre-amp are USB-A and RJ45 Ethernet sockets. These are placed unobtrusively at the back of the unit, ready to be used for future firmware updates, ensuring that your 40 PPA is kept up to date.
Experience your record collection like never before, with the Cyrus 40 PPA.
