Profitez d'une expérience d'écoute plus pure avec le ZEN Air Phono, notre étage phono super abordable. Un étage phono, également appelé préampli phono, assure la connexion entre la cartouche d'enregistrement/le micro (stylet) et l'amplificateur. Les cartouches de platine vinyle émettent un très petit signal. Ce signal doit être amplifié jusqu'à plusieurs centaines de fois sa taille d'origine avant d'être suffisamment fort pour votre amplificateur. Un étage phono augmente le niveau du signal de millivolts à volts. Lorsque le vinyle était la norme pour l'enregistrement audio, l'étage phono était intégré aux récepteurs et aux amplis, permettant la connexion directe d'une platine vinyle. De nos jours, la plupart des récepteurs et amplis ne contiennent pas d'étage phono, une unité séparée est donc nécessaire. C'est une nécessité pour toute platine vinyle sans étage phono déjà intégré. Il permettra également de mettre à niveau un étage phono intégré de base dans une platine vinyle ou un système d'amplificateur.
