FONEL constantly striving to improve its products . Those who followed the development of our brand , be aware that CD player and preamplifier were already updated and released new models.

And the one product only it seemed there was nothing to improve remained phono preamplifier. These devices were so great that to raise them to a new level of sound without a significant rise in price was not possible (see TEST). But our commitment to perfectionism gave us a chance - look for opportunities to rework parts of these devices.

We used Sowter input transformers for our phono preamplifiers earlier known in the market for their quality and audio performance.

But now our developers were able to create the new generation FONEL ms-input transformers based on the latest nanotechnology. With less than Sowter nonlinear distortions . And with the linear characteristics wider than Sowter ( about 4 times ).

Specifications of new FONEL transformers to achieve the highest resolution and dynamics while maintaining the emotional and musical sound of the whole picture.

Transformer design provides the opportunity to choose gain of 10 (20dB) or 20 (26dB) and so use all presented on the market MC cartridges.

Due to the fact that we are themselves produce these super audio transformers now we can maintain a stable price for phono preamplifier FONEL despite a general rise in the cost of components.

Integrated amplifier and 192 kHz/24 bit DAC in the case of a subwoofer + active speakers - is let out in a new design and with a new specification; for "Apple" style fans is especial model of the "La Viva!" - with a white finish.

Changes have concerned design and equipment of the amplifying device and design of acoustic systems cases:

- In the patented amplifying system from FONEL the volume control works now by a high-quality a motorized ALPS because this method only to get an opportunity to reach the Hi-End level in a sound. It is necessary to notice that this decision is not applied by other manufacturers as it is relative expensive.

- Besides, in new "La Viva!" is the original system of a bass amplifying by FONEL's engineers developed and which to get surprising depth and quality in a bass (very rare for compact active audio systems).

- In the amplifying device of "La Viva!" is applied a high-quality 24/192 DAC from Cirrus Logic and a clock-generator of own design unique in its exactness.

- Presence at "La Viva!" of various external digital inputs (S/PDIF, a high-quality asynchronous 192kHz/24bit USB DAC and optical inputs) allows to its owners to listen different digital sources without purchase of an external DAC: FONEL "La Viva!" receives digital data from external digital sources and then transforms them to a sound signal with high accuracy and quality.

- A new digital wireless 48kHz/16 interface which has applied in a new FONEL "La Viva!" will allow to listen music by external computer sources without wires at all.

- As well as the previous model of the "La Viva!" a new system will have multichannel amplifying system when everyone driver has a separate amplifier - for the best results in a quality of sounding.

- The sound quality is strongly depends from a power supply quality. Then in an advanced power supply of a new "La Viva!" are applied 3 separate power transformers - for digital, analogue and output stages.

- A new model of the FONEL "La Viva!" has the improved remote wireless control which working on a big range - even from the next room.

- A new "La Viva!" has absolutely unique design and geometry of loudspeaker cases. This design has made "La Viva!" different from everything in the world, but also to lift a sound quality of on higher stage due to improved parameters of the sound signal, special orientation of drivers and minimization of acoustic distortions.

A new FONEL "La Viva!" passes pre-production tests now. And about its new exact specification we will inform additionally. But, first serial devices will be approximately produced by the end of February.

For "Apple" style fans will be approximately produced especial model of "La Viva!" - in a white finish.

The preliminary orders are accepted from this moment.

91,5 dB of sensitivity and active subwoofer’s part to get for the new 3-band speaker system FONEL "Eureka" real universality. It has perfect compatibility with different tube and transistor amplifiers.

The sound of "Eureka" are dynamic, responsiveness, musicality, energy and emotionality.

The universality of "Eureka" also consists in its compactness which very good for small rooms and in its big nominal power which very good for large halls. In addition "Eureka" well proved self as front or rear speakers in home cinema systems.

Grandiose scene, live, plastic, volume and very natural sounding - distinctive singularities which were inherited the new model of tube preamplifier FONEL "Renaissance" from the previous model. Among additional possibilities of the new model: a second XLR input, a high-quality 24/192 DAC with 2 x S/PDIF, 2 x USB and 1 x optical inputs, a tubed MM/MC phono stage and a rear-mounted headphone output. The Renaissance circuit is dual mono, balanced, without global feedback and offers 18dB of gain.

The factory tests of the new mono-power amplifiers FONEL Class A shown that quality of their sounding is better than all our expectations and better than we anywhere can listen. There are: accuracy, detailing, lightness, power, emotions, harmony, and depth of sound and scenes- all this in the mono-power amplifiers FONEL Class A..
