amplifier last. This is because the power
surge in the Fono disk stage could cause
a “power on” thump which may distress
the speakers.

Fono MM

Fono

The Fono has been designed to be effective, easy to
use, and above all to reproduce music with
outstanding effectiveness.

The aesthetic design of the Fono was as important as
the quality of its electrical capabilities, so it benefits
from the same aluminium case as the Rega Ear Head
phone amplifier, giving it a design which offers a
familiar family feel and moreover brings it in line with
its illustrious bigger brothers.

The Fono disk stage is designed to amplify the signal
from a moving magnet cartridge to a level which can
feed into a 200mV line level input on a standard hi-fi
amplifier i.e. with CD, Tuner and Tape Inputs.

Method of connection

Input

Connect the tonearm leads and earth (if used) to the

Output

Connect the output socket of the Fono to the line input
