The Arcam rSeries products are all about getting the best
sound from any audio device. These products can be used
with any audio system and are a brilliant way to enhance your
audio system.
Designed specically to replace an in-built phono amplier or
to add a turntable connection to your existing amplier, the
rPhono is the latest addition to the rSeries.
The rPhono benets from Arcam’s more than forty years of
analogue audio expertise and uses the nest quality parts
in a layout that is optimised for low noise and minimum
distortion. The multi-layer PCB allows our designers to
maximise the quality of the ground plane so that interference
between components is further reduced. The use of multiple,
low-noise, individually regulated power supplies ensures the
rPhono delivers the cleanest signal to the audiophile quality
output stage.
Reveals amazing
detail - like listening to
my vinyl for the first
time!”
Sam Burkin, Customer Support, Arcam
Featuring a wealth of features specically designed for
optimal matching of your turntable’s cartridge, the rPhono
is the perfect solution for the vinyl lover. Moving coil users
benet from precision impedance matching using high-quality
trimmers instead of discrete steps, while moving magnet users
have a wide variety of capacitance options. An optionally
selectable low frequency “rumble” lter eliminates the effects
of warping or pressing irregularities, which can be present on
some vinyl.
Precision components give excellent RIAA response and classleading performance gures, meaning the rPhono will delight
all music-lovers.
The rPhono is a simple way to improve the performance
regardless of turntable and brings Arcam quality sound to any
system.
The rPhono will be available from Q4 2016.
