Unleash the Full Potential of Your Favorite Vinyl Records With iFi's ZEN Phono 3.
Turn on Tranquility
In a world full of noise, welcome to ZEN. Today, modern technology is ever evolving, and simplicity and connection are what we crave most. The familiar act of picking your favorite LP, hearing the soft crackle before it starts, and sharing a story or two with friends as you listen together. IFis ZEN Phono allows you to slip seamlessly back into this blissful world of vinyl, and with its enhanced features and intelligent warp filter, you can break out your over loved LPs and hear them as new.
Super Subsonic
IFis intelligent subsonic filter high passes the vertical side information much more heavily than the lateral mid, as LP bass is invariably mono due to elliptic equalizing during vinyl mastering. This way, it only filters record warp without attenuating low bass or adding group delay. Normal subsonic filters arent intelligent. They are typically hated by audiophiles because they filter out the rumble from warped records while also filtering out the bass. IFis intelligent subsonic filter knows the difference between the two and only filters the warp, leaving the song intact.
Minimize Crosstalk with .mm
ZEN Phono is the only phono stage in its class to feature a .mm balanced output. Connect to active speakers, amplifiers or receivers with balanced inputs and experience reduced crosstalk and noise.
Max Out Every Cartridge
All new front button for adjusting input capacitance and load impedance settings, independently of gain settings. MM MC High, MC Low V Low.
Lower Noise Shockingly Silent
The noise floor of a typical phono stage is noticeable. This is because it sits above the level of the low level textures and detail of the music and gets in the way of the song. The ZEN Phono is distinctly different. Hear your music as it was meant to be heard without the noise you associate with vinyl records. ZEN Phono boasts an Equivalent Input Noise figure that is quieter than some Stereophile Class A phonos. Additionally, the ZEN Phono has its own high tech power supply on its own island. Its isolated state prevents the pollution of noise into the amplification stage.
Hear Your Record Properly
Most records are recorded with an inverse RIAA recording equalization that needs to be undone on playback. ZEN Phono playback equalization curve is within a staggering .dB tolerance, allowing for truthful accurate music playback.
