About
The Zphono XRM is Parasound’s latest phono preamplifier. The ZPhono XRM is a compact, versatile MM/MC phono preamplifier that offers flexibility and features not usually found at this price point. Most phono preamps don’t give buyers what they really want. The Parasound Zphono XRM delivers this must-have list and more! It offers convenient on-the-fly impedance adjustment for MC cartridges, a switchable rumble filter, a stereo-mono switch and balanced XLR outputs. Additionally, many phono preamps use 'wall warts' external power supply that can add noise to the audio signal. Zphono XRM uses a far superior high-capacity, low-noise, linear power supply that won't compromise your music.

Benefits of Parasound Zphono XRM Phono Preamplifier:
Robust Performance and Features
The Zphono XRM uses an ultra-low distortion design (<0.02% THD) with ultra high-speed, low-noise op amps plus audiophile grade resistors and capacitors. It is RIAA accurate to within 0.2 dB. Input and output RCA jacks are gold plated. The unique half-rack width chassis (one rack space high) makes the XRM easy to place, especially in custom installations. But don't let the compact dimensions fool you. This is one serious phono stage. The XRM is powerful proof of Parasound’s continuing support of the vinyl renaissance. The Zphono XRM has separate input jacks and circuitry for MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) cartridges. Connect your turntable’s signal cables to the Input jacks on the Zphono XRM that correspond to the type of cartridge you are using. You can connect two turntables simultaneously if one turntable has an MC cartridge and the other turntable has an MM cartridge. You can also use a turntable with two tonearms, provided one is equipped with an MC cartridge and the other with an MM cartridge. The front panel input select switch makes it easy to toggle back and forth between your MM and MC connection.
