{"product_id":"rega-io-kompakt-vollverstaerker-mit-phono","title":"Rega iO Integrated Amplifier, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rega iO is a compact integrated amplifier with a built-in MM phono stage, bringing Rega's musical playing style into the smallest format – purely analogue, honest and ready to go straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e30 watts into 8 ohms, under 3 kilograms, a clear focus on the essentials: the iO is the entry point into genuine British hi-fi, with no frills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the iO?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it distils the proven Class-A\/B circuit of the Brio down to the essentials while still keeping that typical Rega drive. The built-in MM phono stage is designed along the same lines as the larger models – your turntable sounds lively and detailed, with no external equaliser needed. High-quality Sanken transistors give it a warm, natural tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurprisingly strong drive for its size. The iO controls standmount speakers with a bass you wouldn't expect from such a small chassis, and brings rhythm and warmth instead of technical coldness. Straight talk: it doesn't flatter anything – it delivers exactly the honest, engaging hi-fi that Rega stands for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the iO for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a study, bedroom, or smaller living room combining two line sources and a turntable. Honestly: the iO is consistently analogue – it has no digital inputs. If you want to feed in TV audio or streaming digitally, add a small DAC; if you're running a large, power-hungry pair of speakers, the Elex MK4 is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe iO proves that good hi-fi doesn't need to be big or expensive. As an honest, musical entry into the world of Rega, it's hard to beat – especially paired with a matching standmount speaker and a Planar turntable. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we'll put together the right small system for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: integrated amplifier, purely analogue, Class A\/B, with MM phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput power: 30 W into 8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 1× phono MM (RCA), 2× line (RCA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: headphone (6.35 mm, front)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: aluminium chassis with plastic front panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W×H×D): 180 × 68 × 290 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: iO, system remote control, power cable, manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Rega iO have enough power for floorstanding speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor efficient floorstanders and most standmount speakers, the 30 W into 8 Ω deliver enough level and bass foundation. For very large or low-sensitivity speakers in larger rooms, we recommend the more powerful Elex MK4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich turntables suit the iO?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its built-in MM phono stage, it's the natural partner for the Rega Planar range – from the Planar 1 to the Planar 3. Any other turntable with an MM cartridge also benefits from the low-noise input. A separate phono preamplifier isn't needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a remote control?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, a compact system remote is included. It lets you conveniently adjust the volume and switch between inputs – from the sofa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Rega iO at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause even a compact system deserves the right matching.
