Pre-Amplifier

A pre-amplifier, or preamp, is an electronic device that boosts weak audio signals from sources like microphones, guitars, or turntables to a level suitable for further amplification. It acts as an initial amplifier stage, ensuring the signal is strong and clear enough for the main amplifier to work with. Without a preamp, the sound might be faint, noisy, or distorted. Preamps are essential in audio systems to preserve sound quality and provide the necessary signal strength for high-quality sound reproduction in sound systems, recording equipment, and musical instruments.
