Phonos - The Exemplary RIAA Phono Preamplifier
Elevate Your Vinyl Experience discover the pinnacle of vinyl playback with the SPL Phonos, an RIAA phono preamplifier that sets a new standard in sound fidelity. Designed for both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) systems the Phonos incorporates a legendary Douglas-Self-Design delivering unparalleled audio quality.
Preamplifier Stages for MM and MC Systems in the Phonos features two distinct preamplifier stages each tailored to the specific requirements of MM and MC pickup systems.
MM systems have three selectable capacitors for perfect sound reproduction (150 pF, 220 pF, and 330 pF) allowing correction for frequency, and phase response.
MC systems benefit from six adjustable impedance settings (100 Ω to 10 kΩ) to match the pickup's characteristics ensuring a linear frequency response.
Revolutionary RIAA Equalization Employing the RIAA equalization standard from a Douglas Self designed circuit with audiophile-grade Styroflex capacitors. This results in faster charging and discharging of capacitors, leading to better resolution, and impulse response with a more accurate reproduction of the original recording.
Sophisticated Design for Audiophiles the Phonos is crafted with precision and care utilizing the finest audio grade components for integrated circuits available that feature through-hole technology on its circuit boards to ensure the use of only the best sounding components with noiseless circuit design. It also includes a switchable subsonic filter to eliminate turntable rumble, and gain control for perfect output leveling.
Connections are gold-plated RCA sockets for both input and output connections, along with a banana plug socket for grounding.
VOLTAiR Technology - The 120V technology is our reference technology. The 120V technology is unique in the world. It operates at a DC voltage of 120 volts with a linear power design. This is four times that of IC-based semiconductor op-amps with the internal power supply operating at +/- 60 V, ensuring the highest audio quality and dynamic range.
