Product Overview
SPL Phonos is a preamplifier for record players using either moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) cartridges. The equalization curve is according to RIAA and suitable for all vinyl records since 1954. The RIAA filter is designed after Douglas Self. With up to 71.5 dB gain for MC cartridges and 50 dB gain for MM cartridges Phonos belongs to the most powerful phono preamplifiers.
