Lehmann Audio Phonolith Phono Preamplifier
High-Performance Mm/Mc Phono Stage For Serious Analogue Playback
The Lehmann Audio Phonolith is a high-performance phono preamplifier designed for demanding vinyl playback systems. Combining flexible MM/MC cartridge compatibility, carefully engineered low-noise amplification and precise RIAA equalisation, the Phonolith is designed to preserve the musical information contained in vinyl records while providing a clean, dynamic and natural presentation.
Designed for serious analogue systems, the Phonolith provides the gain and equalisation required to connect a wide range of moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges to a line-level amplifier. Its carefully engineered architecture is intended to provide excellent transparency, low noise and precise system matching.

Designed For Serious Vinyl Playback
The Phonolith is designed for listeners who want to extract a high level of musical information from their vinyl collection.
A phono cartridge produces an extremely low-level signal that requires precise amplification and RIAA equalisation before it can be connected to a standard line-level input. The Phonolith is engineered to perform these functions while maintaining a clean and natural signal path.
Its design allows the character of the cartridge, tonearm and turntable to be presented with clarity, dynamics and musical precision.
Mm & Mc Cartridge Compatibility
The Phonolith is designed to support both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridge systems.
This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of turntable configurations and allows the phono stage to be integrated into systems using different cartridge technologies.
Precision Riaa Equalisation
Vinyl records are produced using RIAA equalisation, which requires accurate correction during playback.
The Phonolith is designed to provide precise RIAA equalisation while maintaining a clean and natural presentation across the audible frequency range.
This helps preserve the tonal balance, transient information and musical detail contained in the original recording.
Low-Noise Analogue Performance
The low-level signal from a phono cartridge is particularly sensitive to noise and interference.
The Phonolith is engineered with a carefully designed analogue signal path intended to maintain a quiet background and allow low-level musical information to emerge clearly.
This approach helps deliver a presentation with good clarity, dynamics and tonal refinement.
Flexible System Integration
The Phonolith is designed to integrate into a wide range of high-quality stereo systems.
It can be used with both MM and MC cartridge systems and connected to a suitable integrated amplifier, preamplifier or line-level audio system.
Its dedicated phono-stage design makes it suitable for listeners looking to improve the performance and flexibility of a vinyl playback system.
Premium Lehmann Audio Engineering
The Phonolith reflects Lehmann Audio's approach to precision analogue engineering, with an emphasis on carefully designed circuitry, clean signal reproduction and reliable system integration.
Its design is focused on allowing the source components of the analogue system to perform at their best while preserving the character of the original vinyl recording.
