FM Acoustics Resoloution series PhonoMaster 223 phono preamplifier from the iconic Swiss manufacturer.
Highlights
- Immense improvement of LP and Shellac reproduction. Records gain a new life.
- The absolute ultimate in phono linearization and pre-amplification.
- Phenomenal new real-time de-click circuits in pure analogue mode attenuate obnoxious clicks and pops without filtering and zero side effects on the audio signal.
- Unique precision real-time analogue de-crackle circuits efficiently reduce disturbing crackles without filtering nor any negative effect on the original signal.
- Proprietary circuits precisely remove hum frequencies, a relief on many an important but hum-plagued recording.
- Unique variable “non-RIAA” de-emphasis allows precise linearization of any recording ever made. Continuously variable controls allow precise restitution of any pre-emphasis curve.
- Astounding improvement in reproduction of vinyl treasures.
- Variable cartridge loading allows optimization of any MC or MM cartridge.
- Uncover rare vinyl treasures with the unique linearization controls.
- Tremendous headroom and reserves in signal handling capability.
- Outputs optimally interface to true balanced, pseudo-balanced or single-ended loads. The FM 223 automatically adjusts for optimal performance with any type of line stage.
- Truly accurate reproduction of vinyl LP’s, EP’s, 45rpm and Shellac records.
- Ultra linear balanced line drivers: no more matching problems of cables and electronics.
- Entire unit uses discrete circuitry of proprietary enhanced Class A design: no signal-degrading IC’s, transformers, hybrid circuits, tubes or op-amps.
- Hand-selected, high-precision matched components of DIN, IEC & MIL standard secure accuracy and long-term stability.
- Performance without equal. The technology, circuitry and manufacturing methods are proprietary to FM ACOUSTICS.
- The ultimate solution for restoration work, mastering studios, libraries and dedicated record collectors.
