Easily Compatible With Warped Vinyl Records With The Help Of Advanced Features

The iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3 includes features specifically designed to address the challenges of warped vinyl records. Unlike traditional bass-reducing filters that can affect overall sound quality, the iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3 focuses on removing ultra-low frequencies caused by warps without compromising the low bass or group delay. Its intelligent subsonic filter is adept at high-passing vertical information more aggressively than lateral information, targeting record warps while preserving the integrity of the music. This approach distinguishes between record warping and intentional bass frequencies, ensuring that only the warp-related distortions are filtered out, leaving the music unaffected and maintaining an accurate playback experience for audiophiles who prioritize precise sound reproduction.

Enjoy Authentic Vinyl Music With Easy Connectivity And Sound Customization Settings

The iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3 offers a unique 4.4mm balanced output, allowing you to connect it to active speakers, amplifiers or receivers with balanced inputs for reduced crosstalk and noise, ensuring a clean audio signal. It also features two RCA single-ended ports for input and output, along with front knobs for simplifying adjustments for input capacitance, load impedance settings and gain settings independently. These controls are essential for optimizing the performance of MM and MC cartridges, with gain settings ranging from 36 to 72dB and four input impedance options. The device's RIAA playback equalization curve delivers an impressive tolerance of +/- 0.15dB, accurately reproducing recorded music without distortion and delivering precise sound detail and fidelity.

Low Noise Input Noise And Power Supply That Deliver Clean Audio

The iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3 offers a significantly low noise floor, with an Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) of -151dBV. This surpasses some Class A+ models by a notable margin of 20dBV. In practical terms, the typical noise floor of a phono stage can detract from the listening experience by introducing background noise that interferes with the music's subtle textures and details. However, the iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3's quiet operation allows for enjoying vinyl records without the usual intrusive noise associated with analog playback, ensuring a clear and precise music listening experience. Also, its innovative 1.2MHz power supply autonomously prevents noise interference in the amplification stage, contributing to a clean audio signal and enhancing your music-listening experience.

Crafted With Aesthetic Design Upgrades For An All-New Visual Appeal

The iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3 introduces a vivid aesthetic with its 'Sunlit Bronze' hardware and a redesigned front panel. This modern two-tone design is eye-catching and reflects the device's advanced capabilities. It also features a new look and feel for the front button that allows for easy adjustment of input, load impedance settings and gain settings, along with Super Subsonic filter control. Its two-tone design sets it apart from the typical "black box" style of competitors, making it visually distinctive and appealing. This design upgrades the iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3’s appearance and complements its advanced audio capabilities, creating a harmonious blend of style and performance.
