  • PositiveVery neutral, transparent sound with a beautiful, musical flow
  • PositiveComprehensive and conveniently customisable
  • PositiveExquisitely finished
  • NegativeCould be even less noisy on very quiet MCs

Sophisticated, perfectly crafted and blessed with a wonderfully unrestricted, transparent sound: The SPL Phonos is a successful crossover from a pro supplier into the hi-fi world. SPL calls this "Professional Fidelity". That sums it up very well, and we would like to see and hear more of it.
