A Phono Preamp Designed to Correct DJ Setup Compromises
In many DJ configurations, the phono input of a mixer is primarily designed for convenience, at the expense of finesse. The Phoebel takes the opposite approach with a "no compromise" philosophy: delivering cleaner and more stable playback, with controlled RIAA equalization and dynamics that highlight the musicality of vinyl. Its ultra-compact format and robust aluminum housing make it a coherent tool for both mobile rigs and refined home installations.
Who Benefits from the Phoebel and in What Uses Does It Make a Difference?
The Phoebel is aimed at demanding DJs, diggers, and vinyl enthusiasts who want to fully exploit the potential of their MM (moving magnet) cartridge with a more faithful signal. It is ideal if you play in clubs with turntables close to subwoofers, if you record sets from a vinyl source, or if you simply want a more "Hi-Fi" listening experience from a turntable connected to a line input. Thanks to its portable design, it easily fits into a bag and quickly integrates between the turntable and a mixer, audio interface, or amplifier with line inputs.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Union Audio Phoebe compatible with an MM cartridge?
This phono preamplifier is designed for moving magnet (MM) cartridges. The RIAA equalization amplifies their weak signal and converts it to line level.
How to connect this unit between a turntable and a mixer?
The phono RCA input receives the cable from the turntable. The line RCA output connects to a line input on a mixer, audio interface, or amplifier. An external 15 V DC power supply is required.
Is the subsonic filter useful near bass cabinets?
The 22 Hz subsonic filter reduces vibrations and very low frequency resonances that can cause feedback.
What is the purpose of the +6 dB boost on this phono preamp?
The gain switch adds +6 dB for MM cartridges with low output levels. This headroom helps drive the line stage of the audio chain more easily.
What is the difference between the 47 kΩ and 74 kΩ impedance settings?
The input impedance is switchable between 47 kΩ and 74 kΩ. This setting adapts the electrical loading of the MM cartridge and allows fine-tuning of the sonic balance depending on the equipment used.
