Enjoy a purer listening experience with ZEN Air Phono, our super affordable phono stage.

A phono stage, also called a phono preamplifier, provides the connection between the recording cartridge/pickup (stylus) and the amplifier.

Turntable cartridges emit a very small signal. This signal needs to be amplified up to several hundred times the original size before it is strong enough for your amplifier. A phono stage increases the signal level from millivolts to volts.

When vinyl was the standard for audio recording, the phono stage was built into receivers and amplifiers, allowing direct connection of a turntable. Today, most receivers and amplifiers do not contain a phono stage, so a separate unit is needed.

It's a must for any turntable without a phono stage already built in. It will also upgrade a basic built-in phono stage in a turntable or amplifier system.

1Even purer

1

Listening to music on vinyl is good for the soul. It sounds purer than listening to a track through your phone or computer.

Make this experience even purer by reducing hiss, noise and boom on your records with the ZEN Air Phono.

2MC and MM

2

There are two types of rotating cartridges: moving magnet and moving coil – and the ZEN Air Phono works with both.

The MM configuration is for cartridges with an output voltage of 2 mV and higher.

The MC configuration for outputs less than 2 mV.

Use the gain switch on the rear to change this setting.

It also has a precise RIAA equalization setting to satisfy the most demanding vinyl lover.

3Activate warp drive

3

As we all know, records can warp over time. With the ZEN Air Phono, our 'subsonic filter' will eliminate any warping from your records.

Normal subsonic filters eliminate "rumble" AND bass and cause phase problems.

Our exclusive subsonic AI phono filter eliminates only "rumble".

Precio de phono económico pero de calidad.

He usado este previo para intentar mejorar el interno de mi Yamaha As500 y nada más conectarlo, redujo el ruido al máximo, no noté mucha diferencia en la música en realidad, pero los ruidos propios del vinilo se minimizaron sin restar volumen ni calidad de sonido.
El trato y la rapidez de Zococity, pues como siempre… EXCELENTE! Muchas gracias!!
