Ultra-Compact Phono Pre-Amplifier

The Pyle Audio PP555 converts phono signals from magnetic pickups to line-level output for studio equipment and audio systems. Its engineered metal alloy housing measures 3.54 inches long, 2.13 inches wide and 1.02 inches high, weighing approximately 0.5 lbs. The unit operates on a 9V battery for cordless use or via the included power adapter.

Check Your Connections And Power

Verify your turntable or source provides a 3mV signal at 50Kohm impedance to match the pre-amplifier input sensitivity. Ensure your amplifier or recorder accepts a 2V peak-to-peak maximum output at 10Kohm load impedance. Confirm you have RCA cables for the dedicated left and right input and output connectors and a 9V battery if you intend to operate without mains power.

For Turntable Owners Needing Line-Level Conversion

This pre-amplifier suits users who need to raise phono-level signals to line level for recording or playback through standard audio gear. Buyers requiring balanced XLR connections, selectable gain settings or a built-in headphone amplifier should look at other devices, as this model provides fixed RCA connectivity and a single 1/4 inch output.

Does the PP555 come with a power adapter or must I buy one separately?

The pre-amplifier includes a power adapter; a 9 V battery is required for cordless use and is not supplied.

Which connector type should I expect on the PP555 for line-level output?

Dedicated RCA (L/R) inputs and outputs are provided, plus a 1/4" output jack.

How much gain headroom does the 70 dB signal-to-noise ratio give when the PP555 feeds a 10 kΩ load?

The unit delivers up to 2 V peak-to-peak into 10 kΩ with 0.08 % THD at 1 kHz and 3 mV input.
