About the ZPhono XRM
The Parasound ZPhono XRM is a moving-magnet/moving-coil phono preamplifier delivering studio-grade vinyl performance. It features switchable MM gain (40 dB / 50 dB) and MC gain (50 dB / 60 dB), continuously variable MC loading from 50–1050 Ω, and separate MM and MC input stages so two turntables can stay connected simultaneously. Outputs include both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA, plus a subsonic rumble filter and a stereo/mono switch. An internally mounted high-capacity, low-noise linear power supply (no wall-wart) keeps the noise floor exceptionally low. Frequency response is 20 Hz–20 kHz ±0.2 dB, THD 0.02% at 1 kHz, with tight RIAA accuracy.
