FAQ:

Q: What is a phono preamp and why is it important?

A: In a nutshell, a phono preamp (or phono stage) is an audio component that performs two critical functions. Firstly, it will amplify the signal level up to a level suitable for the standard AUX input on your stereo. Secondly, it will apply an equalization curve to inverse the standard frequency adjustment made during the record cutting process.

Q: Is a phono stage the same as a preamp?

A: But not necessarily the same as a preamp. In the context of turntables, the terms phono stage and preamp are generally used interchangeably. And generally means the same. In a broader sense, a preamp can be more than a phono stage. A preamp can, for example, be a preamplifier for a microphone or analog sensors. Jun 29 2019

Q: Do I need a phono pre-amp?

A: A phono preamp, or phono stage if you will , connects between your turntable and amplifier. Its job is to increase the signal output from the turntable’s cartridge to a standard LINE level signal and provide necessary RIAA equalization. You absolutely need a preamp if there isn’t one built into your turntable or amplifier.

Q: What is a phono input on a stereo?

A: Phono input is a set of input jacks, usually mini jacks or RCA connectors, located on the rear panel of a preamp, mixer or amplifier, especially on early radio sets, to which a phonograph or turntable is attached.
