Lehmannaudio Phonolith

The Phonolith combines an enormously ambitious phono preamplifier, a top-class preamplifier and a reference headphone amplifier in one device.

The form factor is unobtrusive, the audio performance leaves nothing to be desired.

Produced to give convenient access to the hi-fi sector’s most popular playback sources in the modern age, the Phonolith has two inputs.

First, the line-level input is designed to work with your favourite digital source, most likely a streaming device.

Second, it boasts a high-quality phono stage that’s capable of accommodating the very best turntables and cartridges available today.

Both inputs are selected using the switch on the main unit’s front panel.

The phono preamplifier section in the Phonolith offers extensive setting options for cartridge impedance and four different gain settings.

This allows for wide compatibility with most turntable systems.

It also includes an adjustable filter with three selectable cut-off frequencies to ensure silence in the bass range, where necessary.

Lehmann Audio

Lehmann Audio Vertriebs GmbH was founded in 1988 by the young student of audio engineering, Norbert Lehmann, in Cologne, Germany. After 11 years in pleasant Bergisch Gladbach the company returned to the Rhineland metropolis in spring of 2018. Here with passion for detail is being created what has come into favour in the whole world because of it's quality: the Lehmannaudio product line. Made in Germany.

Striving for perfection

During his audio engineering studies, he was listening to two amplifiers with identical technical specifications in a direct A/B comparison. Really amazing how much they differed in sound quality: one delivered sound, the other one music. There I realised for the first time that good sound depends on much more than technical data such as power, distortion factor and signal-to-noise ratio. That listening session sparked a passion in me which has never ceased: how could he build audio technology so, that it communicates the musician's intention as musically and faithfully as possible? For him, this aspect is key in developing high end. Furthermore,  in pursuit of perfection while staying grounded. And when he finally learnt that his customers feel happy while listening
