Neo Radio with RIAA amplifier

We have also chosen to build a gramophone amplifier into Neo Radio – a so-called RIAA amplifier.

Almost all B&O turntables do not have a built-in RIAA amplifier. B&O products from the 90s and 00s (such as Beosound 9000, Beosound 4, Beocenter 9500 and many others) do not have an input for a gramophone without an RIAA amplifier.

We have therefore designed Neo Radio so that you can connect your B&O turntable to Neo Radio and play your records through Neo Radio to your B&O speakers.

What is an RIAA amplifier

Very few of the B&O turntables have a built-in RIAA amplifier. They should therefore not be connected to Neo Radio, but connected directly to Beomaster or Beosound.

An RIAA amplifier is essentially a small preamplifier that amplifies the signals from the pickup on a gramophone or turntable. This allows the sound to be played through the Beomaster or Beosound system to the speaker.

Here you can see the list of turntables with and without RIAA amplifier. We have tried to make the list complete. If any gramophones are missing or there are errors in the list, please let us know.

The RIAA standard - or more precisely the RIAA curve - aims to make recording gramophone records easier and simpler. The RIAA curve is a frequency band that ranges from 20 Hz to 20 KHz, where the signal is attenuated by 20 dB at 20 Hz and amplified by 20 dB at 20 KHz. The playback curve is exactly the opposite, resulting in a flat frequency response.
