Designed to work with a wide range of moving coil cartridges, it has plenty of gain for low output MCs and excellent load adjustability, making it the perfect partner for whichever moving coil you are using.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AOS is a two stage \"all analogue amplifier\" with no digital control circuitry. The fully aluminium case screens the internal circuit from any stray RFI signals, and Rega's designers have avoided including any unnecessary components or circuits that may degrade the signal path. The AOS incorporates many innovative design ideas including a self-adjusting servo control which compensates for any variations in ambient or operating temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AOS utilises parallel connected, low noise FETs (Field Effect Transistors) configured as a compound pair. The use of FET transistors ensures there is no bias current flowing in the cartridge coil so as not to upset the delicate magnetic geometry of the cartridge. The MC input has provision for selecting resistive input loading of 70 Ω to 400 Ω and capacitive loading of 1000 pF to 4300 pF. The input sensitivity can be changed by 6 dB via the back panel, and an automatic standby feature puts the unit to sleep after a period of no signal (deactivatable via rear-panel dip switches).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated moving coil phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully adjustable for loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory pre-set for use with all Rega MC cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircuit design based on the Reference Aura MC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom aluminium design half width case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic standby function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty against manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Load: 70, 100, 150, \u0026amp; 400 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacitive Load: 1000, 4300 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRIAA Accuracy (100 kΩ output load): Better than ±0.2 dB, 65 Hz to 70 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 17.5 Hz (-3 dB) to 100 kHz (-0.2 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD: 0.03%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Sensitivity: 69.3 dB (Gain Setting I), 63.5 dB (Gain Setting II)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain (0 dB high gain setting, recommended for Rega MC cartridges): 69.3 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain (-6 dB low gain setting): 63.5 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Consumption in Standby: 0.4 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Consumption: 20 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W x H x D): 220 x 80 x 330 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43589624398030,"sku":null,"price":2395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5027\/0926\/files\/AOS_gallery_1__281_29.jpg?v=1782956378","url":"https:\/\/www.theingroove.com\/de\/products\/rega-aos-moving-coil-phono-stage","provider":"The 'In' Groove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
