About turntables and cartridges
There are two types of phono cartridges in use today. The Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT 5 Turntable Streamer is intended for moving magnet types with an output of around 5mV. Moving coil types have a much lower output and would require a further preamp.
Pro-ject makes a passive step-up box that is suitable. The Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT 5 Turntable Streamer also applies RIAA equalization to the signal. This is because records are cut with boosted treble and reduced bass to improve noise performance.
