【Product News】Aavik Launches New R-series Phono Stages (R-188 / 288 / 588) with Optical Cartridge Support

Audio Group Denmark is proud to announce the release of the updated Aavik R-series phono stages: the R-188, R-288, and R-588. These new models now feature a dedicated input for optical cartridges, bringing the series to the forefront of modern analog playback technology.

Overview

The new R-series is designed to meet the growing demand for optical cartridge technology (such as DS Audio). By integrating a dedicated equalizer circuit and power supply for optical cartridges alongside traditional inputs, Aavik provides a high-performance, all-in-one solution for vinyl enthusiasts.

Key Features

  • Integrated Optical Support: Features a dedicated input and internal circuitry specifically tuned for the unique requirements of optical cartridges.

  • Scalable Tesla Coil Technology: Following the Aavik hierarchy, the R-188, R-288, and R-588 differ in the amount of active Tesla Coils and dither circuitry. As you move up the range, the noise floor is further reduced, delivering greater transparency and musicality.

  • Signature Design: All three models share the sleek, resonance-controlled composite chassis, focusing performance investments on the internal component density and noise-reduction technologies.
