Description

★A phono preamplifier that combines compactness and high performance★

For many DJ mixers, the biggest weakness is arguably the quality of the phono input. If you want true sound quality and are serious about your work, there's no reason to compromise on audio fidelity.

The Phoebe RIAA amplifier is an ultra-compact, professional-grade RIAA MM (Moving Magnet) phono preamplifier. With its crystal-clear highs, beautifully detailed midrange, and deep, tight bass, it fundamentally elevates the sound quality required for DJing.

The rear panel features "gain adjustment," "cartridge load switching," and a "subharmonic filter to suppress feedback." Exceptional audio performance is condensed into a robust alloy chassis that easily fits into a record bag.

Phoebe is perfect for anyone who wants to elevate their audio experience, whether you're manipulating turntables in a club or enjoying the rich sound of records at home.

■Main Features ◎+6 dB Gain Boost:
Even when using cartridges with low output levels, you can easily amplify the signal appropriately with a single touch and quickly optimize the overall output balance of the system.

◎22 Hz low-frequency roll-off:
By cutting the subharmonic frequency range, unwanted low-end vibration noise is reduced, resulting in a clean, unclouded analog sound.

◎Input load switching (47 kΩ / 74 kΩ):
A switch on the back allows you to switch the load impedance between "47 kΩ" and "74 kΩ". This enables you to achieve the optimal setting to suit the cartridge specifications and user preferences.

◎Ultra-compact design:
Its ultra-compact design means it can be installed anywhere and seamlessly integrated into any audio setup.

◎ Ability to reproduce sound faithfully to the original:
It captures even the subtlest nuances etched into vinyl records, reproducing a clear and richly detailed sound.

◎ Versatile utility:
From DJ use to audiophiles, it delivers professional-grade performance in every scenario, from club environments to home listening settings.

◎Professional Engineering:
Precision design and high reliability ensure consistently stable performance, reliably enhancing the quality of analog playback.
