DETAILS

Clarinet Audio Design's PHONO is a sophisticated three-stage active RIAA equalizer circuit featuring the renowned 12AY7/6072 tube. With a gain of 35dB at a standard 47kOhm input impedance, it seamlessly accommodates both high-output MC cartridges and low-output MCs via step-up transformer.

 

Every component contributes to the unique sonic identity of audio signals. That's why we meticulously select only the finest materials that work together in perfect harmony. We use premium silver with point-to-point technique to deliver a clear and rich sound that captures the emotional essence of recorded music.

 

Our commitment to quality means that we manufacture the components that determine sound in-house and ensuring lifelike sound reproduction through rigorous testing with the musicians involved in the recordings.
