The Octave Phono Module provides an adaptable solution for audiophiles looking to tailor their phono system. It offers three exclusive output modules designed specifically for this module, allowing for personalized configuration according to user preferences, whether it be "Standard" or "Direct Drive", Cinch (RCA) or XLR connections. Each setup aids the listener in achieving the perfect audio output tailored to individual tastes and system requirements.

For those opting for the Out 1: RCA Standard output module, it features a dual output design including both a fixed and a variable output. This configuration is versatile, permitting connection to external headphone amplifiers or facilitating direct recording to tape or PC through its adjustable output. Meanwhile, the fixed output is optimized for high-level input connections of pre-integrated amplifiers. Key specifications for this module include a fixed/variable output voltage of 2V/0-2V, an output resistance of 250 Ohms, and a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of -120 dB for the regulated output.

On the other hand, the Out 2: RCA Direct Drive module is engineered for more direct audio control. With its tube output design, it allows the user to manage asymmetrical power amplifiers effortlessly through its variable output. As with Out 1, a fixed output is also present for linking to high-level inputs. The technical specifications include an output voltage range of 0.5-1V for fixed and 0-7V for variable outputs, output resistance figures of 250 Ohm for fixed and 320 Ohm for variable outputs, and a signal-to-noise ratio of -100 dB for high gain or -110 dB for low gain regulated output. Additionally, it boasts an impressive frequency response spanning 10 Hz to 200 kHz with a minimal distortion rate at 0.001% at 2V/1 kHz.

Lastly, the Out 3: XLR Direct Drive module is tailored for those who utilize symmetrical power amplifiers, once again offering both fixed and variable output options. This module is designed to handle the greater demand of symmetrical connections, enabling a seamless and efficient integration into high-level input systems.
