Our take on the Mini Small Stereo Audio preamplifier, Headphone Amplifier, 20dB Phono Turntable Phonograph preamp, op amp NE5532 with 3.5mm Input to 3.5mm Output

This is a small desktop preamp built around the NE5532 op-amp, with stereo RCA and 3.5mm inputs and RCA, 3.5mm and headphone outputs. It adds about 20dB of gain, enough to lift a quiet line-level source or a turntable before it reaches an amp. It is a preamp only, so it cannot drive passive speakers on its own. It suits people who need a cheap, compact gain stage rather than a full phono stage with RIAA equalization or a headphone amp with serious power.

Questions and answers

Can it connect a turntable directly to speakers?
Only through an amplifier. It is a preamp, not a power amp, so it cannot drive passive speakers. A turntable also needs RIAA equalization, which this unit does not provide.
Does it work as a phono stage?
It adds gain but has no RIAA equalization curve, so a moving-magnet turntable will sound thin and bright. Use a proper phono preamp for vinyl.
What power supply does it need?
It accepts DC 9-19V through its DC input. The listing does not confirm a power adapter is included, so check before buying.
Can I use it with headphones?
Yes, it has a headphone output. It is a line-level preamp, so headphone volume and drive depend on the headphones and the source.
What inputs and outputs does it have?
Stereo RCA and 3.5mm inputs, with RCA, 3.5mm and headphone outputs. That covers TVs, phones, CD players, sound cards and instruments.
