Product description
鶹.ca Product Description
This electronic preamplifier stands up to the test and will provide you with serious sound performance. The PP444 is perfect for bringing your studio equipment's phono-level output to a more suitable line-level output. It'll take your audio signal, amplify its strength and prepare it for further processing by your receiver or amplifier. Preamps technically provide voltage gain to your desired equipment and are key to assisting the signal source, whether it's a turntable, musical instrument or microphone. The ultra-low noise audio conditioning circuitry allows the preamp to boost audio to levels that are more manageable for various types of audio equipment. You'll find it easier to adjust the recording level volumes of different sources from microphones and instruments alike. You should position your preamp close to the source to reduce unwanted noise and interference. Preamps can sometimes come built into the stereo equipment, but if that's not the case, the PP444 is an easy install, wise choice and great addition to any musician or producer. Take your sounds and audio production skills to the next level with the PP444 Preamplifier.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2024Verified PurchaseVery pleased with this preamp. Had recently purchased a Pyle 260 amplifier/ receiver but unfortunately my old tech record player would not work without a preamp. I phoned the Pyle hot line and the helpful rep recommended this model. Now installed, the complete stereo system works perfectly.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2025Verified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 7, 2021Verified PurchaseI read a lot about pre-amps, and MC and MM cartridges before buying. MY turntable, a B & O, has very low output, and uses an MMC cartridge (a rare bird). The Pyle was a good price, so I gave it a try, even though I wasn't sure it would be able to figure out what was coming from the turntable and respond as it would to any other setup. I wasn't really surprised that I had to crank the volume higher to get it to be decently loud. That probably wouldn't be an issue with a regular turntable. The good news is, even having to crank the volume because of the phono cartridge, there was only a little background noise, even when I was playing a Keith Jarrett album, which is very quiet music. And it certainly is working to what would be most people's satisfaction. It wasn't absolutely identical to what I remembered (I'm really fussy), though, so I went and bought the Rolls VP29. It kind of "went to 11", everything was there. But if you don't need that little push over the cliff, if it doesn't have to sound like the band is in the room, the Pyle works pretty well.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2015Verified PurchaseThis unit has one HUGE flaw, and based on the reviews, I'm not the only one who has experienced it. There is a VERY loud humming sound that comes and goes, seemingly randomly. I've noticed that if I hold the unit a certain way, or give it a good smack, the humming subsides, but it randomly creeps up from time to time and makes listening to my records very unenjoyable.
It's very lightweight, and doesn't have any kind of rubber "feet" so you need to secure it or tuck it away somewhere so it doesn't slide around. It comes with a power adapter, but that's it - you need to provide your own RCA cable to run from the preamp to your amp, (which, I guess, is to be expected). The RCA jacks on the back are a bit flimsy, and I feel like it's only a matter of time before they start to loosen up and cause connectivity issues. The grounding nut is in an awkward spot, and the extra "lip" caused by the case overhanging the edge on the back of the unit makes it difficult to get your grounding wire in there and keep it flat (I had to bend mine a bit to get it to fit in there properly). When it works.... The sound itself is a bit flat and lifeless, but I didn't expect it to be audiophile quality for that price (paid ~$30). The extra 1/4" output is a nice feature, though there's no volume control so you'll still need to plug it into an amp or use headphones with a volume control if you go that route.
TL;DR this is clearly a defective product. You get what you pay for - spend a few extra dollars and get something a bit more reputable.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2024Verified PurchaseGot my kid into vinyl & wanted an inexpensive phono stage to use with powered speakers. Don't let the brand name fool you. It's a clean & neutral sounding phono stage. It sounds just as good as the phono stage in any receiver. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to hook up their turntable powered speakers or amp without built in phono preamp.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 2, 2024Verified PurchaseWorks well. No complaints.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 15, 2024Verified PurchaseBought it to preamp my turntable but I did not get that to work. I went to plan B and hooked up to my SMART TV to headphone out and connected to my stereo with RCA to 3.5mm. Lots of volume now
and clear.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2024Verified PurchaseThere is a bit of noise from the pre amp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value
Verified PurchaseI purchased this unit to allow me to connect my turntable to a newer stereo system. I needed a pre-amp for the turntable and this works beautifully. The sound quality is very good (only some better speakers could improve it) with no distortion. The volume control is on the main stereo system. I haven’t noticed any heat issues even after using the turntable with the pre-amp for several hours. Great solution without a big price tag!
