Agena

Agena is truly a state-of-the-art phono stage. Any magnetic phono cartridge can be precisely matched to the Agena's input circuitry, ensuring the maximum retrieval of detail which is presented with transfixing musical reality.

The fully adjustable inputs, each with two separate head-shell / arm settings allow precise matching for up to six phono cartridges, with each being selectable at the touch of a button.  In addition to the single-ended RCA and fully balanced XLR analogue outputs, a reference quality analogue to digital converter feeds USB and SPDIF digital outputs allowing broadcast quality archiving to computer hard-drives or other digital media.  Real time record monitoring is possible via the USB digital input.

User features include mono, mute, adjustable high and low frequency filters, and a sleep mode, which turns off all processing and display circuitry to ensure the very best fidelity whilst listening.
