Audio-Technica AT-PEQ30 Phono Equalizer

SKU CH-PTZK-4TRPT

Phono equalizer adds a low-noise MM/MC stage with selectable 47 kΩ / 120 Ω inputs and precision RIAA response in an all-metal shielded enclosure

  • Compatible with MM and MC cartridges via selectable inputs
  • Low-noise FET inputs and RIAA-equalised circuit for accurate playback
  • All-metal enclosure shields signal from RF and electronic interference
  • Gold-plated RCA connectors ensure reliable, corrosion-resistant connections
  • Fixed gain and impedance settings: 47 kΩ / 4.5 mV (MM) and 120 Ω / 0.28 mV (MC)

Phono Equalizer for MM and MC Cartridges

The AT-PEQ30 adds a dedicated phono stage to a turntable system or upgrades an integrated preamplifier. It accepts both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges through a selectable input with fixed gain and impedance settings. High-quality FET inputs and a negative feedback equalizer circuit keep the signal path quiet. The all-metal enclosure shields the circuitry from radio and electronic interference.

Fixed Gain Settings for Cartridge Matching

The MM input presents 47 kiloohms impedance and 4.5 mV sensitivity, while the MC input offers 120 ohms and 0.28 mV sensitivity. These fixed values suit a broad range of cartridges without adjustment. Builders needing variable loading or adjustable gain for low-output MC designs will find the controls absent. Precision components deliver an accurate RIAA response within the defined input parameters.

Passive Thermal Design and External Power

The unit runs without a fan, relying on its metal chassis to dissipate the low heat produced by the analog circuitry. An included AC adapter supplies power, keeping the mains transformer outside the signal enclosure. Gold-plated RCA connectors maintain clean contact for the stereo input and output. No power consumption or noise floor figures are provided by the manufacturer.

Questions about this item

Will the AT-PEQ30 work with my existing turntable that has a moving magnet cartridge?

Yes, the AT-PEQ30 provides a selectable MM input with 47 kiloohms impedance and 4.5 mV sensitivity, matching standard moving magnet cartridge requirements.

How can I verify the AT-PEQ30 is delivering accurate RIAA equalization after connecting it?

Play a known test record and listen for flat frequency response; the unit uses precision components to achieve excellent RIAA accuracy with low noise and distortion.

Does the box include the AC adapter and all cables needed to connect to my amplifier?

The box contains the AT-PEQ30 phono equalizer and its AC adapter; you must supply RCA cables to connect the gold-plated outputs to your amplifier.
