Audio Technica AT PEQ30 Phono Preamplifier MM/MC

Audio Technica AT PEQ30 Phono Preamplifier MM/MC

Overview

The AT-PEQ30 phono equalizer is designed specifically to add a phono stage to a turntable setup or to upgrade a turntable’s built-in phono preamplifier. It is compatible with turntables with MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) cartridges. The AT-PEQ30 benefits from Audio-Technica’s years of analog audio expertise and uses the finest quality parts in a layout that is optimized for low noise and minimum distortion.

Features

• Selectable MM and MC input with fixed gain and impedance allows for compatibility with a wide range of moving magnet and moving coil cartridges
• High-quality FET inputs ensure a low-noise signal when incorporated with a negative feedback-type phono equalizer circuit
• Precision components provide an excellent RIAA response for best-in-class performance
• The all metal construction enclosure provides superior isolation from radio and electronic noise interference
• The machined aluminum front panel and gold-plated input/output RCA connectors are examples of the high-grade material used throughout
