Perfect for audiophiles and professionals seeking reliable, rumble-free amplification for turntables, it supports a wide range of cartridges and integrates effortlessly with modern audio systems. ## Description The DJ PRE II (formerly named the "Phono MicroPRE") acts as an interface between your turntable and your audio recording / playback system. The analog input capacitance can be switched between 100pF and 200pF to optimize your phono cartridge response. A switchable low cut filter removes turntable rumble while leaving the audio pristine. The front gain trim control and signal/clip LED allow you to optimize the preamp's gain for a wide range of input sources. The built-in low noise phono preamp circuitry is highly accurate and precisely conforms to the RIAA standard. The line output jacks are low impedance and can be used with any sound card. Housed in an all aluminum black anodized case, the DJ PRE II can be powered by a wide variety of external supplies. If you need to amplify and EQ your vinyl records to interface with your audio workstation, sound card, home stereo system or main monitor system, the DJ PRE II gives you flawless audio reproduction in a rugged and reliable package. Review: Muy buena calidad, en mi caso no hay ningún tipo de "huum" o sonido de fondo, el nivel de DB es muy útil, lo único que no me gusta es el LED Azul infernal, todo lo demás, muy bien. Review: Full disclosure: I'm a vinyl record enthusiast, I've been using turntables for over 30 years, and I repair/rebuild/restore vintage turntables. I spent a couple of weeks trying to decide which sub-$100 phono preamp I should buy. Most of the preamps in this price range get mediocre reviews. I stumbled upon the ART DJPRE II almost by accident, and was impressed with the high number of favorable reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I've been using it for almost three months, and thus far I've been very impressed by it. The build quality is very good, the sound quality is excellent, and it has some nice features that I haven't seen in other comparably priced preamps. One of the things I like most about this preamp -- a feature that most other preamps in the same price range are lacking -- is the level adjustment knob. There are two scenarios where this feature comes in handy: first, if you use different cartridges with different output levels. For example, one of my cartridges has a high output level (9 mV), and one of my other cartridges has a much lower output level (2.5 mV). The level knob on the preamp allows me to adjust the preamp's amplification to match the cartridge I'm using. The other scenario is that some of my records were recorded at very low levels, and some of my other records were recorded at very high levels. The level adjustment knob, along with the signal/clipping light, makes it easy to adjust the output level, and this is VERY helpful when transferring vinyl records to CD/MP3. This might not seem like a big deal, but I find it to be a really great feature, and theoretically it should offer better audio quality than attempting to boost or lower the audio after the fact with an audio editing program -- which is what you'd have to do if your preamp didn't have a level adjustment knob. I also really appreciate the rumble filter, which is another great feature that isn't typically found on preamps in this price range. It works as advertised and does not alter the audio quality. I do find that the blue power light is very bright, as other reviewers have pointed out, but I'm not particularly bothered by it. If you find it disturbing, you can always put a small piece of black tape over it. If you need a phono preamp and you can't afford to spend big bucks, I think this is absolutely your best bet. UPDATE: I've now been using this preamp for almost two years and it still works flawlessly. I'm very happy I chose it. ## Features - Dual RCA-type inputs - Dual RCA-type outputs - Ground terminal - Power: 12V DC (Adapter included) - Dimensions: 1.75 H x 4.2 W x 3.5 inches D (44.5 x 107 x 89mm) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000AJR482 | | Color Screen | No | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,947) | | Date First Available | 7 August 2012 | | Item Weight | 499 g | | Item model number | DJPRE II | | Material Type | Metal | | Product Dimensions | 11.43 x 11.68 x 4.7 cm; 498.95 g | | Size | 14.1 x 7.3 x 2.3 inches | | Voltage | 12 Volts (DC) | ## Product Details - **Voltage:** 12 Volts (DC) - **Manufacturer:** ART - **Maximum supply voltage:** 12 Volts (DC) - **Minimum supply voltage:** 12 Volts - **Mounting type:** Freestanding ## Images ![DJPREII Phono Preamplifier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uOCUleMpL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this what I need to plug an older turntable into a new receiver/amp that does not have a phono jack? When I plug in AUX, there is no sound.** A: Yes. It's a fully functioning pre-amp. **Q: how do i know which capacitance option to use (100pf or 200pf)?** A: You can't "hurt" anything with any of these settings. Of course, you want to use the 'phono' or direct output of the turntable, not the 'line level' or amplified output. just try the 100pf (I think this is more 'standard') and listen for a while. Then try the 200pf setting and see if it sounds better. I think the effects would be mainly small, possibly none. **Q: does this unit have an on/off stwich?** A: There is no on-off switch. The unit draws very little power from its wall-wart power supply which would remain powered-up even with the unit switched off. I recommend leaving it on or controlling it along with the other audio equipment. Powering it up while monitoring its output results in a loud "thump." **Q: This phono amp Does Not have 2 inputs....** A: No it does not. 1 input (I have my turntable plugged in) and 1 output (plugged into the mic jack of my PC). I use this device to burn my vinyl to mp3. I like this method MUCH better than the USB devices available. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***G on 19 February 2021* Muy buena calidad, en mi caso no hay ningún tipo de "huum" o sonido de fondo, el nivel de DB es muy útil, lo único que no me gusta es el LED Azul infernal, todo lo demás, muy bien. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***G on 12 November 2013* Full disclosure: I'm a vinyl record enthusiast, I've been using turntables for over 30 years, and I repair/rebuild/restore vintage turntables.

Und ich möchte das Gerät nicht mehr missen! Was den etwas dumpfen Klang anbelangt: Das stört mich absolut nicht, denn bei der Audio-Restauration mittels Software verwende ich sowieso einen Equalizer... Kurz und gut: Für mich und meine Zwecke ein top Gerät!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - ART DJPREII Phono Preamplifier - Fluance RT82 Reference High Fidelity Vinyl Turntable Record Player with Ortofon OM10 Cartridge, Speed Control Motor, High Mass MDF Wood Plinth, Vibration Isolation Feet - Walnut - Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Active Near Field Studio Monitor Speaker - Wooden Enclosure - 42 Watts RMS Power --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/292176624-djpreii-phono-preamplifier](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/292176624-djpreii-phono-preamplifier) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
