Vertere Phono-1LX MC/MM Preamplifier

The Vertere PHONO-1LX is a premium MM/MC phono preamplifier that builds on nearly a decade of continuous development. Inspired by the flagship CALON phono stage, it delivers lower noise, greater dynamic range, and exceptional musical detail. As a result, vinyl recordings sound more natural, detailed, and lifelike.

With upgraded circuitry, an improved power supply, and a refined chassis design, the PHONO-1LX combines high-end performance with premium craftsmanship. Furthermore, it offers an excellent upgrade for demanding analogue systems.

Refined analogue performance

The PHONO-1LX features a newly upgraded gold-plated PCB that improves signal integrity and long-term reliability. In addition, the redesigned internal DC power supply delivers cleaner and more stable power. Therefore, background noise is reduced while dynamics, stereo imaging, and musical clarity all improve.

Cleaner signal path

Vertere has enhanced the AC input with dedicated filtering that blocks unwanted high-frequency interference before it reaches the audio circuits. At the same time, the new two-way grounding switch lets you easily select Earth Lift or Earth Connection. As a result, system integration becomes easier while unwanted hum is kept to a minimum.

Elegant design

The redesigned metallic silver chassis gives the PHONO-1LX a cleaner and more refined appearance. In addition, the screw-free top panel and signature blue-green LED match Vertere’s latest products, creating a consistent look across the range.
