With an MM cartridge, you can choose between 46 and 52 dB gain, while the MC section offers 66 or 72 dB gain as well as a load of 56, 100, or 220 ohms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEphono+ also has a dedicated input for DS Audio optical cartridges with the option of 24 or 30 dB gain. This provides an unusually flexible solution if you switch cartridges or want to try different cartridge technologies in your vinyl setup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeparate linear power supply\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA phono signal requires significant amplification, which is why KECES has chosen a two-part design with a separate power supply and phono preamplifier. The isolated power architecture is designed to minimize interference around signal processing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe power supply uses KECES' own H-Sonic™ toroidal transformer and delivers ±24 V DC to Ephono+. It also has built-in over-temperature protection (OTP). On the output side, Ephono+ can be connected to the rest of the system via both RCA and balanced XLR.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePractical details for vinyl playback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKECES Ephono+ also has a switchable subsonic filter. This reduces very low-frequency noise, which can occur due to vibrations from the turntable or warped records, among other things. This limits unwanted low-frequency energy before the signal is sent on to the amplifier and speakers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor connections, KECES uses lockable Neutrik XLR connectors and 24K gold-plated RCA connectors. Ephono+ itself measures 220 × 220 × 66 mm, and the separate power supply has the same dimensions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a compact, two-part phono solution with a particular emphasis on flexibility. The combination of MM, MC, and DS Audio optical, along with adjustable gain and MC loading, makes Ephono+ appealing for vinyl systems where the option to adapt the phono stage to different cartridges is a priority.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDid you know?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ You have 30 days of Buy \u0026amp; Try\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ You get an extra year of warranty when you sign up for our newsletter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✓ You get free shipping over 499,-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keces Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55631638626680,"sku":"55631638626680","price":1238.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/6253\/3137\/files\/Ephono.png?v=1786711055","url":"https:\/\/www.lydspecialisten.eu\/products\/keces-ephono","provider":" Lydspecialisten","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
