Thanks.** A: The volume knob is intended for controlling the headphone amplifier volume and will also act as a secondary volume control if you use the variable outputs (as opposed to fixed outputs) to your receiver or preamp. There is actually a separate usb out for making digital recordings. **Q: Does the usb follow line in when selected? or is the usb for phono only?** A: record vinyl or any line level source to computer Hi-Fi Heaven 1549 Sixth Street Green Bay, WI 54304 www.hifiheaven.net 920-494-8999 **Q: Any advantage on getting the music hall phono stage with the music hall turntables?.** A: No, not really. Ultimately it depends which Music Hall turntable you are buying as some have their own phono stage. **Q: Why is there no place on the back of this unit to connect the ground wire from the turntable's cable?** A: There is a terminal on the back of the preamp unit with a knurled thumb screw labeled with the chassis ground symbol. Simply connect a wire from there to the turntable ground screw which should already be connected to the reciever/amplifier ground. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Small Compact, Good driver support for Windows 10 *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2021* This is is a small, compact box with easy access to the controls on the front, and the connections on the back. For me, the primary use of this is to use a turntable to copy vinyl albums to digital files.These days, lots of turntables include the function for this, meaning there are fewer devices available. A basic Soundblaster style external soundcard is an alternative, but even an X2-HD didn't provide the warmth of vinyl translated into digital. The Music Hall does great job, I've also had zero driver problems connecting to Windows 10, which is more than I can say for other solutions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars More than a simple PHONO *by V***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2022* This phono preamp (Music Hall pa2.2) which covers both MM [moving magnet] and MC [moving coil] cartridges, is in fact more than a simple phono for turntables. It can also act as a little DAC! The LINE IN gives one the opportunity to connect any external source (CD player, tuner, etc.) but most remarkably it can be used to connect to your phone, your iPad, or computer as a streamer (via. 3.5 mm [1/4"] jack to dual RCA cable) hence you need not to buy an expensive streamer which has not even a proper displayer to show you which song is played. I checked this with Amazon Unlimited Music, Internet Radio and YouTube ...One of crucial features of this phono is its volume knob that can be used if you use VARIABLE LINE OUT.An extra feature is USB OUT which can be used for recording ...All the main connections are RCA, and not balanced XLR. yet since my active speakers have XLRs I used RCA to XLR cables.If it is nearby and at your eyelevel it is easy to see the name of each switch or use headphone, otherwise if it is in a lower shelf you have to devise your own solution! ... E.g. see the photo attached ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent preamp!! *by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018* I am an audiophile and will only listen to high quality music. I have very esoteric gear - B&O turntable, Spica speakers, M&K sub, all oxygen free copper connections. When my very expensive JBL Gold preamp died, I was just looking for a phono pre. I tried others (Pyle, Pro-Ject, Rolls, Art...) and they all sounded terrible. This Music Hall pre gives me a very flat response. I've measured some of the noise and distortion specs for the phono and line inputs and they are slightly better than listed in the specs. It sounds VERY GOOD, especially for the price.The USB works well. I recorded a bit of my Mobile Fidelity "Late Night Guitar", and a UHQR "Dark Side of the Moon". They sounded as good any 96 kHz/24 bit digital files I've heard before.I definitely recommend this product. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/37933597-music-hall-pa2-2-mm-mc-phono-preamplifier-with-analog](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/37933597-music-hall-pa2-2-mm-mc-phono-preamplifier-with-analog) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
