Description
The MX-VYNL is a high-performance phono stage that operates in a fully balanced configuration, compatible with virtually any moving coil or moving magnet cartridge. It features both standard RCA inputs and a unique XLR fully balanced connection, allowing you to connect two turntables simultaneously.
One of the standout features of the MX-VYNL is its flexibility in adjusting input impedance settings for moving coil cartridges and various capacitance settings for moving magnet units. What sets it apart from many competitors is its ability to easily fine-tune these settings while your music is playing, enabling effortless experimentation to find the optimal configuration for your specific equipment.
Furthermore, the MX-VYNL incorporates our renowned RIAA correction, providing highly accurate results that extend beyond 80kHz. This may seem extreme, but it’s essential to correct information above 20 kHz to prevent issues like ringing and overshoot.
With exceptionally low noise and an impressive overload margin, the MX-VYNL can handle even the most demanding cartridges with ease, catering to the most discerning audiophiles.
In summary, the MX-VYNL offers:
- Fully balanced XLR and traditional RCA inputs
- Fully balanced XLR and traditional RCA outputs
- Isolated inputs for seamless switching between two turntables
- On-the-fly adjustable input impedance for moving coil cartridges
- On-the-fly adjustable capacitance for moving magnet cartridges
- Wide overload margin
- Accurate RIAA correction beyond 80kHz
- Exceptional noise performance
- Low impedance output
- Utilization of state-of-the-art SMD technology
- Elegant aesthetics and top-notch build quality
