Key Features

Super Smart. Super Subsonic.

Standard subsonic filters aren’t intelligent and are typically loathed by audiophiles. They filter not only the bass rumble from warped records but also the bass of the song. Our intelligent subsonic filter knows the difference between the two and only filters the warp, leaving the song completely intact, and without adding group delay.

Your Cartridge. Your Rules.

The ZEN Phono 3 supports four MM/MC gain selections from 36 to 72dB and four input impedance settings. Mix and match gain and loading settings independently of each other with the all-new loading button, ensuring optimum compatibility with a wide range of cartridges and allowing you to get the sound ‘just right’.

Exacting Equalisation.

At the vinyl mastering stage, records are pressed with an inverse RIAA equalisation curve applied. This needs to be undone on playback by the phono stage to reveal the magic of the music. ZEN Phono 3’s RIAA EQ circuitry uses multiple TDK C0G capacitors in parallel. This is for best stability and the least distortion.

This allows for ZEN Phono 3’s RIAA playback equalisation curve to be within +/- 0.15dB tolerance from 20-20kHz, allowing you to hear your records more accurately than ever before.

Shockingly Silent.

Clean Power Supply: The ZEN Phono 3 features an isolated high-tech clean power supply, ensuring only audio is amplified with a whisper-quiet noise floor.

Ultra-Low Noise: With an EIN of -151dBV, it’s 20dBV quieter than some Stereophile Class A+ phonos.

Enhanced Performance with iPower2: Pair with the SilentPower iPower2 for ultra-quiet, audiophile-grade power, thanks to Active Noise Cancellation II technology.
