Фонокорректоры — NAD PP 4

The PP 4 is a compact phono preamplifier from NAD, built with fixed moving-magnet and moving-coil impedance settings. This model represents NAD's accessible entry into standalone phono electronics, offering a no-frills solution for a buyer wanting to add vinyl capability to an amplifier lacking a built-in phono stage.

Key specs that matter

One single-ended line input plus two phono inputs are provided. MM voltage input impedance is fixed at 47,000 ohms; MC is fixed at 100 ohms. Rated bandwidth is 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz. Distortion is under 0.03%. At just 135 x 49 x 72 mm it is an exceptionally compact unit, practical for a system with limited shelf space.

Sound and use context

Expect a straightforward presentation suited to both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges given the dual fixed impedance settings - an accessible, no-frills solution reflecting NAD's characteristic value-focused engineering philosophy applied to a compact standalone phono stage.

Pairing

The fixed 47,000 ohm MM and 100 ohm MC settings cover a wide range of common cartridges directly, though buyers with a specific cartridge requiring different loading should confirm compatibility before purchase given the lack of switchable adjustment here.

Alternatives

NAD's broader integrated amplifier range, including several models with built-in phono stages, offers an alternative approach for buyers who prefer vinyl capability integrated directly into the amplifier rather than as a separate outboard unit like this one. A dedicated ground connection between turntable and this unit remains essential for hum-free operation regardless of which cartridge type is ultimately paired with it, and given the exceptionally compact scale here, checking shelf clearance in advance helps avoid tight-fit surprises. Overall this remains an accessible, no-frills choice for adding vinyl capability to an existing system. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare current pricing across NAD phono stage and amplifier catalogue. A dealer demonstration remains worthwhile before committing to any specific purchase. Cable routing between turntable and this unit should stay short and well-shielded to minimise noise pickup.
