The Rodec BUNK 01 - Walnut / Green is a dual discrete phono and line preamplifier with precision analogue EQ, engineered for high-fidelity vinyl playback with robust Belgian construction.
The BUNK 01 features two completely independent phono stages designed for moving magnet cartridges. The first recreates the iconic MX180 circuit, delivering an immediate, punchy sound suited to dynamic, energetic playback. The second is a newly developed discrete stage by Rodec, designed for a deeper, more open sound with greater detail and tonal depth. Switching between both stages is instant, offering flexible voicing for different records and listening environments.
Phono gain ranges from 45 dB to 65 dB at 1 kHz, providing compatibility with standard or lower-output records. The line preamp offers adjustable gain from 0 dB to 20 dB for consistent signal matching across sources. The input impedance is set at 47 kOhm with 200 pF capacitance, ideal for MM cartridges, while the output impedance of 220 Ohms ensures seamless system integration.
Using a current feedback design combined with split RIAA equalisation, the BUNK 01 achieves exceptional accuracy, with an RIAA curve flat to within 0.3 dB. Frequency response extends from 9 Hz to 75 kHz, ensuring precise low-frequency control and transparent high-frequency detail without distortion or colouration.
The EQ section offers musical tone shaping with ±12 dB adjustment at 100 Hz for bass, 1 kHz for midrange presence, and 10 kHz for treble. Unlike conventional DJ mixers with aggressive kill EQs, the MX-18 inspired circuit provides refined, responsive control for subtle or pronounced tonal adjustments.
Each BUNK 01 is assembled by hand in Belgium, using a rigid 2 mm aluminium front panel finished in RAL9005 Jet Black and fitted with durable solid metal controls. The enclosure is crafted from solid eco-friendly bamboo, hand-finished by furniture maker Eletta Daemen, combining technical durability with natural aesthetics.
Building on Rodec’s MX180 legacy, the BUNK 01 merges classic analogue sound with modern engineering. Designed for vinyl enthusiasts and audio purists, it delivers high-performance sound, meticulous build quality and flexibility without compromise. The unit includes an external power supply and is optimised for output loads from 2 kOhm to 25 kOhm and above, suitable for both home and professional setups.
