With the introduction of the ZEN Phono, iFi Audio has quietly started a revolution in the world of vinyl. Now iFi Audio is doing the same again with the ZEN Air Phono preamplifier. This ZEN Air Phono has a more attractive price tag than the original ZEN Phono and is intended for an even larger group of vinyl lovers who are looking for an optimal vinyl experience.
Despite its low price, the ZEN Air Phono is equipped with a switchable MM and MC preamplification. Choose MC when the output signal of the turntable element is lower than 2mV, such as high-quality Moving Coil elements. Choose MM when your element delivers an output signal above 2mV. These are usually Moving Magnet and high-quality high-output MC elements. Because vinyl is not always completely flat and the drive is not completely silent, iFi Audio has equipped the ZEN Air Phono with its AI Phono Subsonic filter. This filter does remove rumble and annoying ultra-low frequencies, but does not affect the bass reproduction of the music album.
The ZEN Air, unlike the more expensive ZEN models, has a plastic housing, but shares the iconic ZEN design. The Air uses the same selected electronic components as the higher positioned ZEN Phono. However, the ZEN Air version has opted for a high-quality single-ended audio circuit because many music lovers do not use the relatively expensive fully balanced technology. With this Air you can enjoy your vinyl collection intensely and never pay too much for technology that you do not use. Totally ZEN, right?
