{"product_id":"rega-fono-mini-a2d-mk2","title":"Rega - Fono Mini A2D MK2 Phono Stage","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA moving magnet stage with a USB output for digitising records — 16-bit, 44.1kHz, and Rega is clear about that.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fono Mini A2D Mk2 does two jobs. It is a straightforward moving magnet phono stage with fixed 47k ohm and 100pF loading, 5mV sensitivity for 500mV output and a healthy 70mV maximum input. And it has a USB analogue-to-digital converter for transferring records to a computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe converter runs at 16-bit, 44.1kHz, with 48kHz as its maximum. That is CD resolution, and it is worth being explicit because some retail copy loosely implies hi-res capability — this is not a 24-bit device. For archiving a record collection to a computer at CD quality it is entirely adequate; for hi-res transfer it is not the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn adjustable record level control is provided to optimise quality when recording to a PC, with 7.5mV giving full-scale digital output. Unusually for Rega, a signal-to-noise figure is actually published: 78dBA referenced to 5mV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA note on the name. Rega spells this Fono, not Phono, across its whole phono stage range. Many retailers including this listing have historically used Phono, so both spellings will find it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving magnet phono stage with USB analogue-to-digital output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-bit, 44.1kHz converter (48kHz maximum) — CD resolution, not hi-res\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable record level control for optimising PC transfers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed 47k Ω \/ 100pF loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e78dBA signal-to-noise referenced to 5mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70mV maximum input at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 102 x 30 x 125 mm case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moving magnet phono stage with USB analogue-to-digital converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5mV for 500mV output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Loading:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47k Ω plus 100pF, fixed and not user-selectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Input Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70mV at 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78dBA referenced to 5mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB Converter Resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16-bit, 44.1kHz, with 48kHz maximum.
