Art Pro Audio DJPRE2 Phono Preamplifier

If you are looking to add a Turntable to an existing amplifier you might find that you need a Phono Preamplifier.

This is where the DJ-Pre comes in. Offering variable gain to ensure perfect volume matching, also featuring selective cartridge loading to get the ideal match with the cartridge you are using.

Simply plug your turntable into the JD-Pre and with a pair of high quality leads to connect the audio output to a spare AUX input on the back of your amplifier and it's ready to use!

The DJ-Pre is a compact phono preamplifier that allows a turntable to be connected to an amplifier or pair of active speakers. The output from a standard turntable is much lower than that of a CD layer for example so the signal needs to be "boosted" by a preamplifier, if you don't use one you will find there is almost no volume from your turntable even when you turn your amplifier up to MAX (which you certainly should not do !)

The DJ PRE II (formerly named the Phono MicroPRE) acts as an interface between your turntable and your audio recording / playback system. The analogue input capacitance can be switched between 100pF and 200pF to optimize your phono cartridge response. A switchable low-cut filter removes turntable rumble while leaving the audio pristine. The front gain trim control and signal/clip LED allow you to optimize the preamp's gain for a wide range of input sources. The built-in low noise phono preamp circuitry is highly accurate and precisely conforms to the RIAA standard. The line output jacks are low impedance and can be used with any sound card.

Housed in an all-aluminium black anodized case, the DJ PRE II can be powered by a wide variety of external supplies. If you need to amplify and EQ your vinyl records to interface with your audio workstation, sound card, home stereo system or main monitor system, the DJ PRE II gives you flawless audio reproduction in a rugged and reliable package.

The DJ-Pre is also much higher quality that most preamplifiers you would find included inside an amplifier, so the DJ-Pre is a nice cost-effective upgrade.
