About the P1
The CH Precision P1 is a reference dual-mono phono preamplifier for moving-coil (MC), moving-magnet (MM), and moving-iron cartridges. It provides two dedicated MC current-sensing inputs and one configurable MM/MC voltage-sensing input, each available on balanced XLR and single-ended RCA connectors. Its modular, scalable architecture supports an optional X1 external power supply and a second P1 for true monaural operation. Standard equalization includes RIAA and enhanced RIAA (eRIAA); an optional module adds EMI, Columbia LP, Decca London, and DGG/Teldec curves for historical records.
