Today many amplifiers do not have a specific phono cartridge input. Phono Box MM is an ideal phono preamplifier for these hifi systems. Phono Box MM accepts MM cartridges and offers an audiophile music experience at an entry-level price. Advanced circuitry keeps noise and distortion at a surprisingly low level. The metal case shielding and an outboard DC power supply leave no risk for external interference. Because of its small casing Phono Box MM can be placed near the turntable. Input and output sockets are gold-plated for preservation of quality. Phono Box MM can be connected easily to a line-input (AUX etc) of your amplifier. Pro-Ject Audio Phono Box MM Preamp Features:Good sound from sound technologyMetal case shields the electronics from vibrational and electromagnetic interferenceSpecial low-noise ICs usedOptimal channel separation through dual-mono circuitryGold plated RCA connection socketsDC power supply (< 1 watt standby power)Amplification and RIAA equalisation for MM cartridgesSmall size allows installation close to record playerPro-Ject Audio Phono Box MM Preamp Specifications:Input impedance: 47kohms/120pFGain: 40dBOutput voltage: 500mV/1kHz at 5mV/1kHzNoise floor: 88dB (A weighted)THD: <004%Input: 1 pair RCA/phono socketsLine-level output: 1 pair RCA/phono socketsOutboard power supply: 18V/500mA DC suitable for your country's mains supplyPower consumption:20mA DCDimensions W x H x D: 107 x 30 x 75mmWeight: 280g without power supply
Q: Can I use this for surround sound system?
A: Wouldn’t purchase this item, expensive and doesn’t work, go with the less expensive Pyle, still available elsewhere

Ordered preamp, hooked up turntable and patch cord to my Denon receiver, plug in power to amp and it shuts down my receiver, luckily after removing it, fired back up with no issues but wouldn’t recommend this product to anybody, ended up purchasing something different, somewhere else.
