The Rodec BUNK 01 - Bamboo / Jet Black is a dual discrete phono and line preamplifier with precision analogue EQ, engineered for modern vinyl culture with uncompromising build quality and sonic performance.
The BUNK 01 incorporates two independent phono stages within one compact chassis, allowing users to instantly switch between different sonic characteristics. The first stage draws directly from the legendary MX180 design, delivering an immediate, punchy and energetic sound, ideal for dynamic playback. The second stage is a newly developed discrete circuit by Rodec, offering a more refined, spacious and relaxed sonic signature, ideal for deep listening sessions. Both phono inputs are designed for moving magnet (MM) cartridges with an input impedance of 47 kOhm and capacitance of 200 pF.
Users can adjust the gain from 45 dB at the centre position up to 65 dB for phono sources, ensuring compatibility with both standard and lower-output vinyl pressings. The line input offers gain adjustment from 0 dB to 20 dB, providing flexible level matching across different source materials.
The phono stages operate with current feedback architecture and split RIAA equalisation, achieving high accuracy with a RIAA curve flat to within approximately 0.3 dB. The frequency response extends from 9 Hz to 75 kHz with minimal deviation, ensuring precise low-frequency extension and open high-frequency detail.
The integrated three-band EQ is modelled on the iconic MX-18 and avoids the harsh kill-switch approach found in conventional DJ mixers. The EQ provides musical tone shaping with ±12 dB of adjustment at low (100 Hz), mid (1 kHz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies, allowing users to subtly sculpt warmth, presence and clarity across the audio spectrum.
Every BUNK 01 is meticulously assembled in Belgium using durable, high-grade materials. The front panel consists of 2 mm thick aluminium finished in RAL9005 Jet Black, providing rigidity and a sleek aesthetic. Solid metal knobs offer precise control with satisfying tactile feedback.
The enclosure features eco-friendly solid bamboo panels, crafted by Belgian furniture maker Eletta Daemen, combining modern sustainability with artisanal woodworking. This design results in a compact footprint measuring 95 mm wide, 85 mm high and 210 mm deep, with an overall weight of 800 grams.
Drawing from Rodec’s MX180 legacy that defined club culture in the 1990s, the BUNK 01 embodies that same ethos of sonic clarity, robust build and no-compromise audio engineering. It functions as both a precision tool for vinyl enthusiasts and a contemporary reinterpretation of analogue heritage, delivering musicality with technical excellence.
The BUNK 01 comes complete with an external power supply and is designed for optimal performance with recommended output loads of 25 kOhm and above, ensuring seamless integration into both home and professional setups.
