The new ZEN Air Phono from iFi Audio is a hi-res phono stage for turntables that will bring you to a special place of bliss. Based on the award-winning ZEN Series, iFi’s brand new ZEN Air range makes high-performance audio more affordable than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eEnjoy a purer listening experience with the ZEN Air Phono. A phono stage, also called a phono preamp, provides the connection between the record cartridge and the amplifier. Turntable cartridges output a very small signal. This signal needs amplifying up to several hundred times the original size before it is loud enough for your amplifier. A phono stage increases the signal level from millivolts to volts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUpgrade Your Vinyl Playback\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWhen vinyl was the standard for audio recording, the phono stage was built into receivers and amps, allowing direct connection of a turntable. These days most receivers and amps do not contain a phono stage, so a separate unit is needed. It is a necessity 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFeaturing an audiophile design with a symmetrical channel layout, the ZEN Air Phono delivers high-end performance without a high-end price tag. The ultra-low noise circuity means you will hear every drop of detail against a super-quiet background. Expertly engineered for both MM moving magnet and MC moving coil phono cartridges, it offers precise RIAA equalization to satisfy the most demanding vinyl enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSophisticated Subsonic Filter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe sophisticated subsonic filter will intelligently detect whether a subsonic frequency is a warp in your LP or a bass note. It will eliminate the warps and let all the bass and mid-range frequencies pass through untouched. Therefore, it will have little effect on the sound quality. And you can turn it off if you don't need it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iFi Audio","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45981823762605,"sku":"NEW-IFZAIRPHO","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Demo","offer_id":45981823795373,"sku":"DEMO-IFZAIRPHO","price":78.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Open Box","offer_id":45981823828141,"sku":"OPEN-IFZAIRPHO","price":89.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/IFZAIRPHO_01-Large__05990.1726820227.1280.1280.jpg?v=1778111629","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/ifi-zen-air-phono-hi-res-phono-stage","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
