Frequently asked questions
| Question: | Which cartridges is the Thorens MM-002 compatible with? |
| Answer: | The phono preamplifier is designed for turntables fitted with moving-magnet cartridges. Its fixed 47-kilohm input impedance and 220-pF input capacitance are matched to this cartridge type. It is not intended for moving-coil cartridges. |
| Question: | When is a phono preamplifier such as the MM-002 required? |
| Answer: | The MM-002 is useful when an amplifier, powered speaker system or other audio device does not have a suitable MM phono input. It applies 40 dB of gain and performs the required RIAA equalisation. |
| Question: | Which connections does the unit provide? |
| Answer: | The unit has one stereo RCA input for the turntable and one stereo RCA output for connection to a line-level input. No USB or digital output is specified. |
| Question: | Can the MM-002 be used to digitise vinyl records? |
| Answer: | The MM-002 prepares the analogue turntable signal and outputs it through RCA connectors. A separate device with an analogue-to-digital converter, such as an audio interface or recorder with a line input, is required for digitisation. |
| Question: | How compact is the preamplifier and what is included? |
| Answer: | The compact black enclosure measures 100 × 45 × 93 mm and weighs approximately 0.3 kg. An external 24 V DC power supply is included. |
