Rega Fono Mini A2D Phono Preamplifier

Turntables produce sound that requires a Phono Pre-amplifier to be able to work running into a spare Aux input. The REGA Fono Mini A2D is one of the best value phono stages in the store and as it specialises in only MM compatability it delivers sound quality that punches well above it's price point.

Rega Fono Mini A2D Phono Preamplifier

This compact phono pre-amp by Rega allows you to connect your turntable to an amplifier that has no 'Phono" input but allows you to use any spare RCA socket inputs that are normal "Line" or "Aux" level.

It suits nearly all MM cartridges and even includes the ability to connect up to a computer and digitise your vinyl for listening to when you are away from your records.

The Fono Mini A2D is designed to amplify the signal from a moving magnet cartridge to a suitable level for all line level inputs of an audio amplifier. The new Fono Mini A2D benefits from an extruded aluminium case and very user friendly front and back panels that make this phono pre-amplifier a very easy product to use.

The Fono Mini A2D amplifier offers exceptional performance and incredible value for money and promises to be a valuable addition to any hi-fi set up.

Digitise your Vinyl via USB into a Computer

To transfer vinyl to your PC, you will need to install a digital audio editor. Such software is widely available as a free download (such as Audacity), from the internet. This is a simple interface which allows monitoring of volume and balance whilst transferring your audio to your PC hard drive.

Audio editing software includes a level meter which indicates the output level achieved when playing a piece of vinyl. You should adjust the output as necessary via the ‘Level’ control located on the front panel. Always take special note of record levels to ensure optimum recording quality.

This is a cost effective version of the Fono MM and based on the phono amplifier as used in the Brio-Ramplifier.

Simply switch on, sit back and enjoy!
