Vinyl as it should sound
Enjoy the unique warm sound of vinyl records and all the sonic depths of fine analog details with this high-quality MM phono preamplifier - the Solo Phono Preamp.
Whether you've unearthed your old record collection or want to experience the vinyl renaissance, a unique musical experience now awaits you the moment the needle touches your favorite album. Through a state-of-the-art switching power supply and a new, surface-mounted board layout that reduces unwanted noise, the Solo Phono Preamp preserves the unique warmth of vinyl sound.
Due to the low-level signals generated by a turntable, not all hi-fi amplifiers can be connected directly to a turntable. The phono preamplifier amplifies this signal so that a power amplifier can work with it. However, this can easily lead to additional noise. For this reason, the Solo was designed to deliver a warm and detailed, record-typical sound without distorting the signal from your moving magnet system. The switching power supply increases performance by switching outside the audible frequency, which results in significantly less hum; a new board layout reduces noise through surface-mounted components.
With great attention to detail
If some records in your collection are already worn, the subsonic filter suppresses low-frequency hum that can arise from irregularities on your record. In addition, there is the balance control, which handles potential cartridge imbalances (which could otherwise lead to a difference between left and right channels). The result is a multifaceted experience with accurate sound reproduction.
For the environment
With less than half a watt of standby power consumption and automatic shutdown after 20 minutes of non-use, the Solo Phono Preamp is green at heart. Thanks to its adapted voltage, the Solo can also be used all over the world.
