REGA-FONO MC Phono stage

Key Features

  • High-performance phono pre-amplifier specifically designed for moving coil (MC) cartridges

  • Precision RIAA equalization for accurate and musical vinyl playback

  • Low-noise, high-gain circuitry optimized for low-output MC signals

  • Excellent signal amplification with minimal distortion and improved detail retrieval

  • Simple plug-and-play setup with intuitive controls

  • Robust analogue design and quality components for reliable performance

  • Enhances dynamics, clarity, and depth compared with standard turntable outputs

  • Compact and space-efficient form factor suitable for hi-fi systems

  • Ideal choice for audiophiles seeking rich, refined vinyl sound from MC cartridges

Description

  • The Fono MC is an exceptionally high quality MC phono stage designed to maximise the potential of any MC cartridge. Although specifically to compliment the latest Rega range of  moving coils you will find full adjustability for loading is available via dip switches conveniently placed on the rear panel with two different gain settings located on the back panel making the Fono MC compatible with most low output MC cartridges.

     

    The Fono disk stage is designed to amplify the signal from a moving coil cartridge to a level which can feed into a 200mV line level input on a standard hi-fi amplifier.
