REGA Research Fono MM Mk5 Phono Stage REGA Fono MM Mk5 Phono Stage

The Rega Fono MM MK5 phono stage has been designed to be effective, easy to use, and above all, to reproduce music. Featuring a fully discrete, cascaded, complementary amplifier input stage, the Fono MM MK5 is configured to optimise the performance of your moving magnet cartridge.

The RIAA equalisation has been split into two stages to minimise interaction, with polyester capacitors used in the signal path and polypropylene capacitors employed in the RIAA equalisation circuits. The aesthetic design of the Fono MM MK5 was as important as the quality of its electrical capabilities, and it benefits from the same aluminium case as the new Rega TTPSU and new Fono MK4 MC amplifier, providing a familiar feel and aligning it with its larger counterparts.

In terms of technical specifications, the Fono MM MK5 has an input sensitivity of 1.7mV for 200mV output, an input loading of 47kΩ in parallel with 100pF, and a maximum input level of 60mV at 1kHz. The recommended minimum output load resistance is 5kΩ.

The Fono MM MK5 has been the recipient of numerous What Hi-Fi? Awards, winning accolades in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. This recognition underscores the excellence of the product, which has been designed to deliver exceptional music reproduction.

Overall, the Rega Fono MM MK5 is a carefully engineered phono stage that combines effective and easy-to-use functionality with a focus on delivering exceptional audio performance. Its modern, integrated design and award-winning status make it a compelling choice for discerning music enthusiasts.
