Cambridge Audio Solo MM Phono Pre-Amplifier With Auto Power Down
Enjoy Your Albums to the Max
Enjoy your record albums to the max with Cambridge Audio's highest quality moving magnet phono stage, the Solo Phono Preamplifier.
Vinyl As It's Supposed To Sound
Whether you're dusting off your record collection or embracing analog through the vinyl revival, there's a unique experience to be had from the moment you drop the needle on your favorite album. To preserve the unique warmth of the vinyl sound, the Solo phono preamplifier has been carefully designed with a state-of-the-art switch mode power supply and a new surface mounted circuit board layout to reduce unwanted noise.
Why Choose a Dedicated Phono Preamplifier?
Due to the low-level signals created by a turntable, not all hi-fi amplifiers will let you connect directly to a record player. The phono preamplifier boosts this signal to something a power amplifier can work with. The challenge at this stage, though, is that noise can easily be added.
This is why Cambridge Audio designed the Solo around exceptional components that deliver the warm and detailed sound that's synonymous with vinyl, all without distorting the signal from your moving magnet cartridge turntable. The switch mode power supply improves performance by switching outside of audible frequency to drastically reduce hum and new circuit board layout uses surface-mount components to reduce noise.
