{"product_id":"lindemann-woodnote-fono","title":"Lindemann Woodnote FONO Phonostage","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Woodnote FONO is a phono preamplifier for moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. It is built in two enclosures, an amplifier unit and a separate linear power supply, and it includes an analogue-to-digital converter alongside its analogue outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInput stage and equalisation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier circuit is fully discrete and uses low-noise J-FET transistors at the input. A J-FET input is purely voltage-controlled and draws zero input bias current from the cartridge. Lindemann points out that with moving-coil cartridges, DC current can act like an eddy-current brake and may magnetise the cartridge. Equalisation is passive RIAA in a two-stage amplifier design, which lets each stage run with frequency-independent negative feedback and keeps distortion low in the bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower supply and setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe external supply uses an R-Core transformer with symmetrical windings, additional mains filtering and low-noise linear voltage regulators. For moving-coil cartridges, input impedance is set in 13 steps between 25 and 800 ohms with DIP switches on the rear panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RCA outputs carry a purely analogue signal to an amplifier or preamplifier. The built-in converter works at 24 bit \/ 96 kHz and feeds coaxial and TOSLINK outputs, so records can be digitised or played through a DAC, a digital amplifier, suitably equipped active loudspeakers or the streaming components of the Woodnote series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridges: MM and MC, stereo RCA input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain: MM 46 \/ 52 dB; MC 66 \/ 72 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: MM 47 kOhm; MC 25 – 800 Ohm in 13 steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput capacitance: MM 150 pF; MC 1 nF (optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise (RMS, unweighted): MM 80 dB; MC 70 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel separation: \u0026gt; 80 dB at 10 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: stereo RCA (line level); coaxial and TOSLINK digital at 96 kHz \/ 24 bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions \/ weight: unit 207 x 250 x 62 mm, 1.4 kg; power supply 80 x 204 x 49 mm, 0.7 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lindemann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50863220752603,"sku":null,"price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1363\/6553\/files\/lindemann-woodnote-fono-unit-and-power-supply.png?v=1792512202","url":"https:\/\/almaaudio.com\/products\/lindemann-woodnote-fono","provider":"Alma Music and Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
