The 40 PPA phono preamplifier is housed in the same size (220 x 88 x 365 mm) as the four units already presented by Cyrus in its new 40 series.
Compatible for reading MM and MC phono cartridges, the 40 PPA can manage four of them at the same time, to be connected only to RCA inputs, all linked to an independent ground. Each input can be adjusted for cartridge type (magnet or moving coil), and for MC can be adapted the gain in 5dB steps, the capacitance and the load impedance. The information is easy to read thanks to a 5-inch TFT screen on the front panel, which can also be operated by remote control, displaying all the above data as well as two left-right vu-meters for output level.
Already fitted with an ultra-low-noise power supply in the chassis, the 40 PPA can also be connected to the series PSU and can be associated to an amplifier via RCA and XLR outputs. Its internal circuitry is designed to be as silent as possible and to create as little interference as possible in the processing of the analogue signal, based on the RIAA curve. An RJ45 socket and USB port enable regular updates, which also limits product obsolescence.
Already available, the Cyrus 40 PPA retails for 2 499 €.
