What is RIAA equalisation and the RIAA curve?
RIAA equalisation is a special form of equalisation that is employed when creating vinyl recordings and cuts lower frequencies in the process. This is used to reduce wide grooves that are difficult for a turntable stylus to follow and also increases the recording time available on a vinyl disc. The RIAA curve is a set standard for frequency response of filters used when playing back vinyl recordings, used to restore lower frequencies that were reduced at the recording stage. Balanced connections are being used in my system and there are noticeable differences in the left and right channels. Use the balanced input selection switch on the back of the SYMPHONIC by pressing the selector switch in to select balanced inputs.
