Compact Phono Preamp

Introduction

Turntables have low-level (a.k.a. phono level) signals and most modern audio devices (receivers, amplifiers, equalizers, mixers, interfaces, etc.) are made to handle line-level signals. The RPP2 acts as an intermediary between the turntable and the receiving audio device by amplifying the turntable’s signal according to RIAA specifications.

Functions

1. 12V Power Input: Connect the included power supply to power on the unit.
2. Ground Point: Provides external ground connection for turntable.
3. L/R RCA Inputs: Connect the L/R RCA outputs from the turntable to these inputs.
4. L/R RCA Outputs: Connect the L/R RCA outputs to a receiver, amplifier, equalizer, mixer, interface, or any other audio device with line inputs.
5. TRS Output: Connect this output (w/ Y-Cable ) to a receiver, amplifier, equalizer, mixer, interface, or any other audio device with line inputs.
   • Please note, the end of the cable connected to the RPP2 must be ¼" TRS. 
     • If the receiving device has dual ¼" inputs (L/R), use a ¼" TRS to dual ¼" TS cable.
     • If the receiving device has a stereo ¼" input, use a ¼" TRS to ¼" TRS cable.
     • If the receiving device has a stereo 3.5mm input, use a ¼" TRS to 3.5mm cable.
6. Power LED Indicator: Connected to power and on.
7. RCA Level Control Knob: Controls volume separately for the RCA Outputs
8. TRS Level Control Knob: Controls volume separately for the TRS Output
