The Rega Fono MC phono amplifier has been designed to optimise the performance of the Rega range of moving coil cartridges, however, the MC can be used with most MC cartridges.
Specifications
Output impedance = 200Ω
Recommended minimum output load resistance = 5K
Frequency response (50KΩ output load) = 13Hz (-3dB) to 100KHz (-0.3dB)
RIAA accuracy (50KΩ output load) = Better than +/-0.2dB 100Hz to 100KHz
Power requirements = 24V AC at 150mA maximum. Only to be used with Rega PS1.
