Preamplifier, phono stage for turntables Behringer PP400

The Behringer MicroPHONO PP400 model belongs to the entry-level and is distinguished by its simple design and compact dimensions. The neat metal body of this phono stage fits easily in the palm of your hand and is highly durable.

According to Behringer, this unit can work with virtually any cartridge. The model amplifies the input signal of a turntable and converts it to a line signal at the output while providing accurate RIAA equalization. The gain is 35 dB, and the signal-to-noise ratio reaches 68 dB.

The weight of the Behringer MicroPHONO PP400 phono stage is comparable to that of a 180-gram vinyl disc. All switching is located on one of the ends of its case, and all connector signatures are placed on the top panel, which is convenient when connecting. On the top panel, there is also an LED indicator that signals the inclusion of the device in the electrical network. The phono stage is equipped with an input for a vinyl player on RCA connectors, and the line output here is represented by two types of connectors - regular RCA and a full-size 6.3 mm jack for 1/4" TRS jack, which is convenient when connected to a mixer, professional amplifier or processor. However, the design of the device does not provide for the simultaneous use of two outputs. The model uses an external 12-volt adapter to power the adapter. There is an appropriate socket for connecting the adapter, next to which there is a ground terminal. This model uses the CoolAudio V4580M low-noise operational amplifier in its circuit topology and other quality accessories.

The Behringer MicroPHONO PP400 phono stage offers good value for money and delivers a clear sound with a natural musical delivery. The model is suitable not only for home listening but also for professional use. Due to its small size and ease of connection without any additional adjustments, this unit is especially relevant for DJs.
