Now shipping: the all new io amplifier is designed with every music lover in mind. Simple to setup and operate, the io is designed to integrate seamlessly into any hi-fi system.<\/p>\n
Based on long-time L&C favourite Rega Brio, our best-selling amplifier, the io is simple, compact and delivers a performance well beyond its price point.\u00a0The compact size allows it to be used in a variety of systems: as you would expect, there is a high quality built in MM (moving magnet) phono stage, two line level inputs, a redesigned mini remote control handset and high quality headphone output that is cleverly integrated to deliver optimum performance without compromising the audio circuit.<\/p>\n
All of these features combine to deliver a powerful, well balanced musical performance at an incredible price – just \u00a3379.<\/p>\n
The io uses\u00a0the same power amplifier and phono stage as its larger brother, the multi-award winning\u00a0Brio. The io aims to deliver exceptional sound quality\u00a0in a smaller and more cost effective package.\u00a0The class A\/B circuit shares its DNA with the rest of Rega\u2019s amplifiers, and as usual, great care has been taken in component selection. Sanken output transistors and an Alps volume potentiometer and a linear power supply that enables an output of 30 watts per channel into 8 ohms.<\/p>\n
Two line level inputs and a high quality moving magnet phono input are available as sources.\u00a0There is a headphone output provided on the front of the unit for powering standard hi-fi headphones; this is driven from the power amplifier stage of the unit through relays to avoid signal degradation when headphones are inserted or the product is muted.\u00a0A new remote handset is included as well.<\/p>\n
