Cambridge AudioSolo Moving MagnetPhono

Enhance your vinyl listening experience with the Cambridge Audio Solo Moving Magnet Phono Preamplifier, delivering warm, detailed analogue sound with minimal noise and distortion.

Vinyl As It’s Supposed to Sound

Whether rediscovering your record collection or embracing the vinyl revival, the Solo phono preamplifier preserves the unique warmth of analogue sound. Featuring a state-of-the-art switch mode power supply and a new surface-mounted circuit board layout, it effectively reduces unwanted noise for a cleaner listening experience.

Why Choose a Dedicated Phono Stage?

Turntables produce low-level signals that many hi-fi amplifiers cannot process directly. The Solo boosts this signal to a suitable level for your power amplifier while minimising noise. Its high-quality components ensure warm, detailed sound without distorting signals from your moving magnet cartridge.

Attention to Detail

The Solo includes a subsonic filter to eliminate low-frequency rumbles caused by vinyl imperfections. Additionally, a balance control compensates for cartridge imbalances, delivering an accurate and immersive soundstage.

Eco Friendly

With less than half a watt standby power consumption and an auto power-down feature after 20 minutes of inactivity, the Solo is energy efficient. It also supports worldwide voltage compatibility for use anywhere.
