iFi Audio ZEN Air PHONO

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

The gramophone stage, also called the gramophone preamplifier, ensures the connection between the gramophone cartridge/cassette (pen) and the amplifier.

Gramophone cartridges emit a very weak signal. This signal needs to be amplified up to several hundred times its original size before it becomes loud enough for your amplifier. The gramophone stage increases the signal level from millivolts to volts.

When vinyl was the standard for audio recording, a turntable stage was built into receivers and amplifiers, allowing direct connection of turntables. These days, most receivers and amplifiers do not include a phono stage, so a separate unit is required.

This is necessary for every record player without an already built-in record player. It will also upgrade the basic built-in turntable stage in a turntable or amplifier system.

Even cleaner

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

Make the experience even cleaner by reducing hiss, noise and rumble on your records with ZEN Air Phono.
