Move Up to High-End Analog Performance with the Entry-Level iFi ZEN Air Phono 2 MM/MC Phono Preamplifier: Includes Intelligent Subsonic Filter, Precise RIAA EQ, and Ultra-Low Noise Floor Rating
The inexpensive cost of the entry-level iFi ZEN Air Phono 2 MM/MC phono preamplifier means you never have to settle for cheap, inferior-sounding phonostages built-in to many budget turntables and amplifiers. Designed to eradicate hiss, rumble, and other ruinous noise, this palm-sized device features an intelligent subsonic filter, precise RIAA EQ, and a high-quality op-amp to help convey delicate phono signals with price-belying accuracy, detail, and presence.
Sleek and stylish in its midnight-blue metal fascia casing, and built with a symmetrical channel design, ZEN Air Phono 2 features a rear-panel gain switch thatlets you change between MM and MC settings. When it comes to performance, its -141dBV noise floor speaks to just how much more instrumental and vocal cues you’ll hear from your LPs. Simple connectivity and a supplied cable make setup instantaneous.
Sold with a one-year manufacturer warranty, ZEN Air Phono 2 is affordable, reliable, and a proverbial steal.
