1.4 Aim of the Synfonia PPA
The PPA MKII from the Orpheus Media Synfonia series is a phono preamplifier for moving magnets
(MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridge. The rear panel has switches to select the correct gain, input
impedance and input capacitance corresponding to your cartridge type.
Due to the recording technology of vinyles, the phono preamplifier has to use a reverse filter to obtain
a flat frequency response at the output of the phono preamplifier. This reverse filtering allows you to
hear the music as the sound engineer recorded it in the studio. The R&D engineers used low tolerance
components to get a very precise filter to achieve best performance. The phono preamplifier has also
to amplify a signal with a phono voltage and convert it to a line level to become compatible with all the
audio systems.
