Phono preamp Turntables

A phono pre-amp turntable, also known as a phono pre-amplifier turntable, is a type of turntable that has a built-in phono pre-amplifier.

The phono preamplifier is an essential component in the vinyl playback system, as it is responsible for amplifying and adjusting the audio signal generated by the turntable. Conventional turntables generate a very low line-level signal, called phono signal, which needs to be amplified before it can be played back in a sound system or speakers.

A turntable with a built-in phono preamp eliminates the need for an external phono preamplifier. This means that you can connect the turntable directly to an amplifier, receiver or sound system that does not have a dedicated phono input. The built-in phono preamp amplifies and equalises the phono signal to a standard line level, which is compatible with conventional line inputs.
