Experience a new dimension of sound with the ZEN Air Phono - your ticket to a world of sound full of purity and brilliance.
This phono stage sets new standards for vinyl lovers by taking your listening experience to an even purer level. The ZEN Air Phono allows you to enjoy the music of your records in all its glory.
A phono stage, also known as a phono pre-amplifier, is the crucial connection between your turntable cartridge (needle) and the amplifier. With the ZEN Air Phono, the very small signal generated by turntable cartridges is amplified to 100 times its original size. This ensures that the sound reaches the optimal volume for your amplifier. This phono stage transforms millivolts into volts.
In the past, phono stages were built into receivers and amplifiers to allow direct connection of turntables, as vinyl was the standard for audio recordings. Nowadays, many receivers and amplifiers lack this important component, which is why a separate device is necessary.
The ZEN Air Phono is an absolute must-have for any turntable without a built-in phono stage. It can also enhance an existing phono stage in a turntable or amplifier system to provide you with an even purer sound experience.
Listening to music on vinyl is good for the soul. It sounds more authentic and intense than simply playing songs from your phone or computer. With the ZEN Air Phono, you can reduce unwanted background noises like hissing, static, and rumble on your records, taking your listening experience to the next level.
The ZEN Air Phono supports both Moving-Magnet and Moving-Coil cartridges, offering you maximum flexibility. The MM setting is ideal for cartridges with an output voltage of 2 mV or more, while the MC setting is suitable for cartridges with an output voltage of less than 2 mV. You can easily adjust the setting with a simple switch on the back.
Furthermore, the ZEN Air Phono features a precise RIAA equalization setting that satisfies even the most demanding vinyl enthusiasts. You can be sure that the sound of your records will be reproduced in its original form.
But that's not all. We know that records can develop distortions over time. However, with the ZEN Air Phono, distortions on your records are a thing of the past. Thanks to our unique "Subsonic Filter," distortions are effectively eliminated without affecting the bass or phase issues. With the ZEN Air Phono, you’ll enjoy smooth and flawless sound from start to finish.
iFi’s commitment to excellence is reflected in the components used. The ZEN Air Phono is equipped with a custom-built OV-series operational amplifier that ensures extremely low noise, minimal distortion (0.0001%), and a wide bandwidth. In addition, the TDK C0G capacitors (class 1 ceramic) offer remarkable stability and minimal losses for precise resonance circuit applications. Together, they reduce distortion-related interference to an absolute minimum, delivering a sound experience like you’ve never heard before.
For iFi, only the best is good enough. That's why they use Panasonic ECPU capacitors. Each ECPU capacitor consists of thousands of ultra-thin dielectric layers, ensuring remarkable frequency stability, minimal equivalent series resistance (ESR), and negligible distortion. Thanks to their outstanding performance, they ensure that the sound of the ZEN Air Phono remains flawless and precise.
The ZEN Air Phono - your ticket to unadulterated sound enjoyment. Experience vinyl in its purest form and immerse yourself in an acoustic masterpiece. Get the ZEN Air Phono now and discover a new dimension of vinyl listening.
