LEHMANNAUDIO PHONOLITH PHONOSTAGE LAUNCHED

Distributor Henley Audio has announced the immediate UK availability of the German Lehmannaudio Phonolith Phonostage.

Since their first product was released in 1995, Lehmannaudio has been devoted to manufacturing high-end audio devices for both music-lovers and professional users. The brand has developed a reputable range of phono stages and headphone amplifiers, amongst other accessory products.

LEHMANNAUDIO PHONOLITH PHONOSTAGE

The Phonolith effectively combines a reference-grade MM/MC phono stage with a pre-amplifier and headphone stage, allowing for minimal audio system configurations. For example it can be combined with a power amplifier, like the matching Lehmannaudio Stamp, for connection to speakers, or for direct connection to a pair of high-quality headphones. The Phonolith is supplied with a separate PWX II LZ power supply, housed in a matching chassis.

FEATURES

The features of the Lehmannaudio Phonolith Phonostage include separate inputs for phono and line level sources, compatibility for MM and MC cartridges, extensive customisation settings in the phono stage, pre output for connecting to a pair of active speakers or a power amplifier, high-quality headphone stage, separate PWX II LZ power supply and both the main unit and the power supply sit on Lehmannaudio 3S isolation feet.
