”It is one of the most outstanding pieces of affordable engineering in any category I have ever tested.” ’AV Forums’ – Best in Class.
Adjustable to suit your cartridge
Featuring no fewer than four cartridge settings, the ZEN Phono matches up with the vast majority of cartridges. Choose between MM (Moving Magnet), MC (Moving Coil) High, MC Low and MC Very Low for the correct match with your turntable’s cartridge. Covering outputs from 36dB to 72dB, the ZEN Phono sees you through a range of cartridge upgrades.
High precision and balanced output for class-leading sound quality
Implementing top quality TDK capacitors, fitted in parallel, the ZEN Phono produces extremely low levels of distortion – giving class-leading precision. The circuit also utilises a balanced output design. A balanced output reduces noise and crosstalk, reducing distortion and improving the detail you hear.
Top quality components for low noise
Using top quality components from the likes of Panasonic, Texas Instruments, TDK and muRata, the iFi ZEN Phono is full of the best ingredients! Carefully implemented, these components come together to maximise the signal to noise ratio. This means you hear more detail and less background hiss – common on inferior phono pre-amps.
Intelligent subsonic filter
Subsonic filters reduce rumble and are especially handy when playing warped records. The downside with subsonic filters is they often also harm the sound by creating phase issues. The unique AI subsonic filter used by iFi gets around these phase issues, creating a more natural sound while maintaining the speaker protection offered by regular subsonic filters.
