## Description

Compact phono preamp boosts turntable signals for clean, low-noise audio through mixers or home stereo systems, with versatile RCA and TRS connectivity.

Review: Way better than it should be. - Wow, this works better than expected. I got this to try different setups here. I do have a Behringer UFO202 to adapt my turntable for AirPlay to my HomePods, which does an ok job. However, adding the separate phono amp has made a noticeable improvement, and it sounds much clearer and louder than the built-in amp. There are other options out there, but I’ve come to like and trust the Behringer gear. They give good performance at sensible prices.
Review: Was expecting mediocre, but this was not the case.. - After reading both the positive and negative reviews for this product, I was a somewhat cautious and proceeded to order with some trepidation. I had looked at much higher end phono pre-amps which all had pros and cons, especially with hum being a massive negative across the board. So I eventually bit the bullet and plumped for the PP400 as the price was low enough for me to swallow in case it didn’t live up to my expectations. As soon as the product arrived I hooked it up to my Technics SL1200MK2 and bridged it to my Denon M38 DAB, ensuring the 1200’s ground wire was connected. Upon connecting any hum immediately disappeared, I even turned the system up to full volume, tapping the plinth of the deck for some feedback or resonance, only to hear nothing! Suffice to say that my initial concerns were uncalled for and the sound quality was amazing. The line conversion is only a couple of decibels quieter than the CD output on my device, which I’m fine with. Bass and treble is extremely adequate and more than competes with both CD and USB sound sources. Some have said that this device lacks certain dynamics when compared to products 3-4 times more expensive, but my ears say that the PP400 sounds just fine! Of course my opinion is subjective, but I’m sure most will find this a perfectly good product. Only the purist audiophiles will find fault with this because they are listening to their hardware and not the music. Over all I am more than pleased with the PP400 and feel no desire to upgrade it to a more expensive pre amp as I know this does the job extremely well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this preamp work with mm and/or mc turntable cartridge?**
A: This preamp is mainly designed for moving magnet (MM) turntable cartridges.Ben Jessen

**Q: how do i use the ground?**
A: I use one of these Behringer 400s with my Project turntable, which comes with a ground lead to minimise the notorious Project turntable hum. Alone it does not entirely eliminate the hum. My amp doesn't have a ground connector. 
However, I then also ran another ground lead from the preamp to a close-by heating radiator bleed valve. This eliminated any trace of hum or interference completely!
So the trick is to ground the PP400 itself AND the turntable. Incidentally, the PP400 is a superb entry-level preamp, very Very small. At the current Prime price it's an absolute steal.

**Q: Is there any way to reduce the amplification? I'm getting terrible distortion from my un-amplified turntable.**
A: There is no way of turning it down, it maybe that your turntable is outputting a line signal which is causing the problem.

**Q: Have a technics 1210 mk2 and JBL 305 active speakers. will this pre amp be enough to get good quality through my speakers?**
A: The simple answer is yes. Your speakers are active type, thus incorporate a power amplfier, & should have phono/line in connector inputs to connect to the pp400, which just boosts the signal from a turntable to a line-in stronger signal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product fine; registration slow and wants too much info
*by J***M on 3 January 2021*

First, in the instructions the input and output impedance is given in Watts - eh? As far as I know, impedance around the world is measured in Ohms. This is a tad worrying, but everything else has the correct units, so maybe it's just a printing error. More serious, is the lengthy and demanding registration process, which won't let you change your email preferences once you've (finally) registered - plus the site is rather slow. Maybe its because I use an ad blocker on my browser... Anyway, I gave up and deleted my just-created account. Call me cautious... However, the product itself is fine. It sounds fine and was no trouble to setup/install. Oh, and thanks to Amazon for dropping the price a day or so after I ordered...
