The GBC 61.6226.00 phono pre-amplifier applies RIAA correction to raise the low-level signal from a magnetic cartridge turntable to a standard line level, making it compatible with the Line inputs of modern amplifiers, mixing desks, and powered speakers that do not include a phono stage.

Input and output connections are both stereo RCA (L/R). The unit ships with a supplied 18 Vac power pack. Its compact 45x120x50 mm body fits easily on a shelf or behind a turntable, and at 0.30 Kg it adds negligible weight to any setup.

Key Features

• RIAA equalisation corrects the phono-level signal to line level
• Stereo RCA inputs and outputs (L/R)
• Input sensitivity: 3 mV for 1000 mV output
• Nominal output voltage: 0 dBV; maximum output: +16 dBV
• Output impedance: 100–600 Ohm
• THD: <0.08% @ 1 kHz
• 18 Vac power pack supplied

Product Benefits

• RIAA correction restores the flat frequency response of vinyl records, delivering accurate bass and treble reproduction
• The 3 mV input sensitivity is matched to standard magnetic (MM) cartridges, covering the vast majority of consumer turntables
• Low THD of <0.08% at 1 kHz ensures the amplified signal remains faithful to the source without audible distortion
• Output impedance of 100–600 Ohm is compatible with the line inputs of virtually all amplifiers and mixers
• Adding this unit revives older turntables on modern equipment without replacing the amplifier
