About the Optik Phono 1.1

The Backert Labs Optik Phono 1.1 is a specialized phono equalizer designed specifically for DS Audio optical cartridges, not for conventional moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridges. It is notable for offering two independent tonearm inputs, allowing users to switch between two DS Audio cartridges from the front panel, including combinations such as stereo and mono cartridges. Backert Labs positions it as a high-end, hand-built component with tube-based circuitry and dual-mono power-supply architecture.
