STEREO PHONO
PREAMPLIFIER
PRODUCT MANUAL
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.
The Polsen Stereo Phono Preamplifier boosts the phono level signal from a turntable and converts it into a line-level signal that’s compatible with a stereo amplifier, mixer, or sound system. It also equalizes the turntable’s signal to RIAA specifications with low noise and without coloration. Place it inline between a turntable and the AUX inputs of a stereo amplifier or receiver, or use the 1/4-inch stereo output to connect it to the inputs of a mixing board or DJ amplifier.
