PA10 High Fidelity Phono Preamp
With RIAA Equalization for MM Turntables
UNCOMPROMISED PHONO AMPLIFICATION AND EQUALIZATION
Precisely converts the turntable phono signal to line level, featuring an ultra high-accuracy frequency response to faithfully reproduce the original recording to the RIAA standard
SOPHISTICATED CIRCUIT DESIGN ENGINEERED WITH PREMIUM COMPONENTS
High accuracy components, low noise power supply, and low impedance output stage achieve greater RIAA specification, gain performance and lower distortion
VIVID STEREO SOUNDSTAGE
Utilizing individual left and right channel OP amps provide optimal channel separation and virtually no crosstalk during signal reproduction and amplification stages
LOW FREQUENCY RUMBLE FILTERING
This selectable high pass filter rolls off the low end frequencies below 20Hz. This slow gentle roll off is helpful to reduce subsonic resonant feedback and noise when listening at loud volumes
PROTECTED FROM ANY ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE
Internal metal shielding enclosure to block electro-magnetic interference and electronic noise

Frequently Asked Questions
While audio cables are not included with the PA10, we offer high quality RCA audio cables for use with our turntables and preamp! We recommend grounding both the turntable and speakers to the preamp for the cleanest signal quality.
A preamp converts a weak signal from a turntable into a signal strong enough to be sent through an amplifier or powered speakers without noise or distortion.
A preamp is required when your turntable does not have one internally, such as the Reference series turntables, or when your receiver or powered speakers do not have a PHONO input.
Absolutely! The PA10 preamplifier uses RIAA equalization to provide you with an ultra high-accuracy frequency response so you can listen to your favorite music the way it was meant to be heard.
While the preamplifier found in the Classic and Elite turntables is a quality preamp, the PA10 external preamp is a high-performance model and very different from the internal preamp.
PA10 outputs at 37.5dB compared to the 34dB of the internal models and also includes 4 single channel preamp chips as opposed to 1. This provides your speakers with a strong signal requiring less amplification, reducing distortion at higher volume.
