TEAC PE-505 Phono Preamp – Fully Balanced Dual-Mono, MM/MC with Adjustable Loading

Configure vinyl playback around your cartridge with the TEAC PE-505. Fully balanced dual-mono circuitry, MM/MC support and adjustable loading are joined by practical setup tools, including mono playback and cartridge demagnetisation functions.

Key Features

• Fully balanced, dual-mono layout – differential circuits for each channel help keep noise low and channel separation high, and the MC input can be connected balanced.
• Seven MC load settings – choose from 10 ohms to 1k ohm, and use the built-in load impedance measurement to help find the right match for your cartridge.
• MM capacitance options – 0, 100, 220 or 330 pF lets you tune the response of moving magnet cartridges.
• Accurate equalization – the RIAA circuit stays within 0.05 dB, with additional curves for mono records and for DECCA and COLUMBIA pressings.
• Subsonic protection – subsonic detection plus a 17 Hz, -24 dB/oct filter keeps warps and rumble away from your woofers.
• MONO and DEMAG functions – sum both channels for mono records, and demagnetize your cartridge from the front panel.

Good to Know

High and Low gain settings are available for both MM and MC, so most cartridges can be matched to your amplifier. A dedicated ground terminal keeps hum under control, and three-point pin-point feet help decouple the chassis from its shelf.
