Phono input

**Phono input**

A phono input is a specialized audio input on amplifiers, receivers, and audio interfaces designed specifically for connecting turntables (vinyl record players). Unlike standard line-level inputs, a phono input includes built-in pre-amplification and equalization to properly amplify the low-level signal from a turntable’s cartridge and apply the RIAA equalization curve. This ensures accurate sound reproduction and optimal performance when playing vinyl records. If your audio setup includes a turntable, make sure to use the phono input for the best audio quality.
