iFi ZEN PHONO 3
Zen Phono 3 boasts futuristic features unlike any other entry-level stage:
-MM/MC with 36-72dB gain range
-Independent loading adjustment
-Super-silent -151dBV noise floor
-Precise RIAA with balanced output
-Intelligent subsonic filter
-High-tech 1.2MHz clean power supply
Super Smart. Super Subsonic.
Standard subsonic filters aren’t intelligent and are typically loathed by audiophiles. They filter not only the bass rumble from warped records but also the bass of the song.
Our intelligent subsonic filter knows the difference between the two and only filters the warp, leaving the song completely intact, and without adding group delay.
The ZEN Phono 3 supports four MM/MC gain selections from 36 to 72dB and four input impedance settings.
Mix and match gain and loading settings independently of each other with the all-new loading button, ensuring optimum compatibility with a wide range of cartridges and allowing you to get the sound ‘just right’.
Shockingly Silent.
ZEN Phono 3 has a high-tech clean power supply built directly into it, isolated on its own “island” and away from the rest of the board.
The power supply’s isolation mitigates noise pollution of the analogue stage – ensuring that only the audio is amplified and allowing for the noise-floor to remain whisper quiet.
ZEN Phono 3’s Equivalent Input Noise measures at -151dBV, which is 20dBV quieter than some Stereophile Class A+ phonos. *
For optimal noise performance, ensure that you are providing the cleanest power to your Phono 3.
The iFi iPower2 is an ultra-quiet, ultra-clean audiophile-grade power supply, featuring Active Noise Cancellation II technology to cancel out all incoming EMI and RFI noise. You’ll never feel powerless against noise and graininess again.
