AVM PH MC Cinch Phono-Modul for Ovation PH

The AVM PH MC Cinch is a retrofit module for the modular AVM Ovation PH preamp that connects moving-coil cartridges to your system via unbalanced RCA outputs.

AVM ships the Ovation PH 6.3 and PH 8.3 as an empty housing with up to four module slots – you fit the phono preamp with exactly the input cards that match your cartridges, and retrofit later if your turntable fleet changes. This module is the RCA variant for MC cartridges: input impedance and gain are set for moving coil, the preamp recognises the card itself once plugged in and adds it to the menu. If you run an MM cartridge or want to go balanced via XLR, reach for the matching sister modules in the same series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install the module myself, or do I need to send the preamp in?
According to the AVM manual, the module is a plug-in and can be swapped; the PH recognises the new card automatically and configures itself. For the first installation and checking the impedance setting, we're happy to do it for you at HD Zürisee.

Does the module fit the PH 6.3 the same way as the PH 8.3?
Yes, both models use the same slot standard, so the MC RCA module works identically in the PH 6.3 and PH 8.3. How many free slots your device still has, we can check on request using your serial number.

Why buy it from HD Zürisee?
We're an authorised AVM dealer and know the Ovation module world from everyday practice. Mauri will install the module professionally on request and match the input impedance to your cartridge.
