Neo Radio with RIAA amplifier

"We have also chosen to incorporate a gramophone amplifier in Neo Radio – a so-called RIAA amplifier."

Next to 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 a 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 a RIIA amplifier

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

A RIAA amplifier is actually a small pre-amplifier that provides amplification of 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 there are any missing gramophones or if there are errors in the list, please let us know.

The RIAA standard - or more specifically the RIAA curve - aims to make the recording of 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, so a smooth frequency response is achieved.
