Designed specifically to replace an in-built phono amplifier or to add a turntable connection to your existing amplifier, the rPhono is the latest addition to the rSeries.
According to the published info, the rPhono benefits from Arcam’s more than forty years of analogue audio expertise and uses the finest quality parts in a layout that is optimized for low noise and minimum distortion. The multi-layer PCB allowed to maximize the quality of the ground plane so that interference between components is further reduced. The use of multiple, low-noise, individually regulated power supplies ensures the rPhono delivers the cleanest signal to the audiophile quality output stage.
Featuring a wealth of features specifically designed for optimal matching of the turntable’s cartridge, the rPhono is the perfect solution for the vinyl lover. Moving coil users benefit from precision impedance matching using high-quality trimmers instead of discrete steps, while moving magnet users have a wide variety of capacitance options. MC input impedance ranges from 50 Ohm to 550 Ohm, and MM input capacitance is selectable between 120, 220, 340 and 440pF values. An optionally selectable low frequency “rumble” filter eliminates the effects of warping or pressing irregularities, which can be present on some vinyl records. System gain can, also, be selected (60, 70, 80 or 82dBs for the MC input and 30, 40, 50 or 52dBs for the MM input).
Precision components give excellent RIAA response and class leading performance figures, meaning the rPhono will delight all music-lovers. Published RIAA de-emphasis accuracy is about ±0.2dB in the 20Hz-50kHz band.
