The Rega FONO MC MK4
The Fono MC MK4 stands as an exceptionally high-quality MC phono stage meticulously crafted to unleash the full potential of any low-output MC cartridge. While it is specifically engineered to complement the latest Rega range of moving coils, it boasts full adjustability for gain and loading through conveniently placed dip switches on the rear panel. This design ensures compatibility with a broad spectrum of third-party low-output MC cartridges. Encased in a newly redesigned case that harmonises with the aesthetics of the new Fono MM MK5 and Neo MK2, as well as Rega’s latest electronic components, it presents a modern look that seamlessly integrates into any hi-fi system.
Crafted for effectiveness, user-friendly operation, and, above all, faithful music reproduction, the Fono MC MK4 utilises the Linear Systems low-noise LSK389 FET in an all-discrete input stage. This choice is crucial for achieving optimal results with an MC cartridge, where low noise and linearity are paramount. The high input impedance of the FET ensures minimal loading effects from the amplifier circuit, preserving the cartridge’s performance without compromise.
