Agena

The Leema Acoustics Agena is a sophisticated phono stage designed to optimize the performance of any magnetic phono cartridge. This device allows for precise input matching, ensuring maximum detail and depth retrieval from vinyl records. With multiple inputs that are fully adjustable in real-time, users can select from up to six different phono cartridges with ease. The Agena features both single-ended RCA outputs and fully balanced XLR outputs, alongside a reference-quality analogue to digital converter that provides a USB output for digitizing vinyl records. Noteworthy features include real-time record monitoring via RCA and SPDIF digital outputs as well as a unique Sleep Mode that enhances analogue signal fidelity by disabling control circuitry when the unit is not in active use. The phono stage's specifications encompass input resistance options for both MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) cartridges, high sensitivity settings, and noise levels designed to ensure an ultra-quiet performance. The device is encased in a robust chassis that can be finished in either silver or black, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
