iFi Zen Phono 3 Phonostage
Futuristic Features. Nostalgic Feeling.
In a world where modern technology is ever-evolving, simplicity and connection are what we crave most. Nothing demonstrates this quite like the familiar act of picking your favourite LP, hearing the soft crackle before it starts, and sharing a story or two with friends as you listen together.
If this is the type of connection you crave, then a well-designed phono stage is integral for your vinyl setup. It takes the subtle whispers of your cartridge and amplifies them hundreds of times, making your vinyl’s magic compatible with headphones, amps, receivers and speakers. The ZEN Phono 3 opens the door to that analogue world with style and substance. With an intelligent warp filter and versatile loading options, you will be able to hear your over-loved LPs as new and fully experiment with your system setup.
Packed with trickle-down technology from our prestigious history with sister company AMR, the ZEN Phono 3 is a noise-free upgrade that will allow you to slip seamlessly back into the blissful world of vinyl.
Superior Specification.
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.
Your Cartridge. Your Rules.
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’.
