Audiolab PPA7 Phono Preamplifier
Making More of Your Vinyl
Rediscover your record collection with the Audiolab PPA7, a high-performance phono preamplifier that combines precision analogue engineering with the versatility of modern listening. Designed to reveal the detail, depth and musical expression in every groove, the PPA7 delivers a refined vinyl experience with the flexibility to suit the way you listen today.
Supporting both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges, the PPA7 features selectable cartridge loading to help optimise performance for your chosen cartridge. MM users benefit from a standard 47kΩ input impedance with selectable 100pF or 220pF capacitance, while MC cartridges can be matched using selectable 100Ω or 330Ω input impedance. This thoughtful flexibility helps you fine-tune your system as your cartridge preferences evolve.
Purpose-designed, low-noise analogue circuitry and accurate RIAA equalisation preserve the character of your records, delivering a clean, detailed and balanced signal that lets the music take centre stage.
More than a traditional phono stage, the PPA7 incorporates a dedicated current-feedback headphone amplifier for high-quality personal listening without a separate amplifier. Bluetooth 5.3 transmission with aptX HD adds the freedom to enjoy your records through compatible wireless headphones or speakers, while the USB-C recording interface allows you to archive treasured albums to a PC or Mac in high-resolution digital formats up to 192kHz/24-bit.
A regulated dual-rail power supply supports the analogue circuitry, while the crisp 33mm OLED display, intuitive rotary controls and full remote operation make setup and everyday listening effortless. Housed in a compact aluminium chassis and available in Black or Silver, the PPA7 integrates seamlessly into a modern hi-fi system.
Whether upgrading your existing turntable setup, exploring the benefits of a dedicated phono stage or preserving a collection of much-loved records, the Audiolab PPA7 brings together analogue fidelity, versatile cartridge matching, headphone listening, wireless convenience and digital archiving in one elegant component.
Audiolab PPA7. The sound of vinyl, with more ways to enjoy it.
