With the Phonitor x we have accommodated the wishes of our Hi-Fi customers. Available in Black, red and silver.

The Phonitor x is the ultimate headphone amplifier. It offers connections for headphones operated both balanced and unbalanced. With up to 3.7 W output power the Phonitor x delivers an impressive performance.

The revolutionary Phonitor Matrix delivers the most realistic playback on headphones. As almost all music was mixed for speaker playback the Phonitor Matrix lets you experience music on headphones as being played back through speakers.

The Phonitor x is not just a headphone amplifier, but also an excellent preamplifier that can also drive power amplifiers or active monitors. All in all five input sources can be connected. Two of which are analog stereo inputs (XLR und RCA) and three more are digital stereo inputs (USB, coaxial and optical).

The technical basis of all Professional Fidelity units is our proprietory 120 V Rail Technology, which we also call VOLTAiR technology. The name makes reference to the unequalled high voltage of 120 V (+/-60 V DC) and the huge dynamic range of over 140 dB that goes with it.

SPL Phonitor x and Studio Economik

This is my second purchase from Studio Economik in the past year (Focal ST6 Monitors in summer 2024), and on both occasions the service from the folks at S. E., and especially Kevin S.-M., has been absolutely outstanding!
The great service, the attention to detail, and the prompt and reliable shipping are the reasons I recently got in touch again with Kevin
to purchase the SPL Phonitor x. Read more
