Chord Symphonic Phonostage

No, the Symphonic is specifically engineered as a moving coil (MC) phono stage. It is designed to handle the lower output levels of MC cartridges and will not work with standard moving magnet designs.

The Symphonic features adjustable gain and impedance settings, which are accessible via controls on the unit itself. This allows you to fine-tune the electrical loading to match the exact specifications of your moving coil cartridge for optimal performance.

Yes, the Symphonic offers both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) output options. This provides the flexibility to integrate it into a wide range of high-end audio setups, whether you prefer balanced connections for noise rejection or standard RCA cables.

The integrated subsonic or rumble filter is designed to remove unwanted low-frequency noise, such as mechanical vibrations or record warps, that can muddy the sound. By filtering out these sub-audible frequencies, it helps your amplifier and speakers focus on reproducing the music more cleanly.

Chord uses high-frequency power supply technology to ensure the cleanest possible signal amplification. By operating at higher frequencies, the supply minimizes electrical noise and interference, which is critical for preserving the delicate, low-voltage signals coming from a moving coil cartridge.
