iFi Audio ZEN Air Phono 2 Phono Preamplifier

The iFi Audio ZEN Air Phono 2 is a compact phono preamplifier designed to improve vinyl playback compared with the built-in phono stages found in many turntables and amplifiers.

It supports both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges, with adjustable gain modes to help match the preamp to the cartridge being used.

Its precise RIAA equalization, ultra-low noise floor, and intelligent subsonic filter help preserve bass response while reducing unwanted record warp rumble.
