A phono cartridge or magnetic cartridge is actually a transducer or converter. With it, you can play gramophone records on a phonograph or a turntable.

What amplifier do you need for a technics stereo graphic equalizer SH-E50?

I have one of these graphic equalizers and if your amp has a dedicated output and input for a graphic via a phono connector then it will work. If it doesn't then you could add a phono connector switch. This device would have inputs for all your devices via phono connectors (cd player, computer, satellite receiver etc) and it would have one output which would go into the graphic equalizer then out of it into one input on your amplifier. You would then select the individual device on the phono connector switch which you are going to play and select the solitary input on your amplifier.

Could a phono drive be used as an amplifier for a mixing desk?

It's not clear what you mean by "phono drive". If you are asking about using a phono preamp as a microphone or instrument preamp and sending the output of the preamp to the mixer, you will find that the phono preamp has two problems:First, it does not have anything close to flat frequency response. Phono preamps are designed with a strong equalization curve, which compensates for the EQ that is used when high-fidelity recordings are mastered. You will get lots of bass and no highs if you try to run a mic or instrument signal through a phono preamp.Second, you may find that it does not have a lot of headroom. A phono preamp is sensitive and a microphone or instrument could drive it into saturation.For the same reasons, you certainly cannot use a phono preamp as a line-level amplifier in a mixer.If you happen to be asking if you can use a Mod Squad or McCormack Phono Drive as a preamp for a turntable and run the output of the Phono Drive (as line level) into a DJ mixing desk, then the answer is yes, that should work quite nicely (even though the Phono Drive is, in my opinion, an absurdly overpriced piece of gear).


What is the dial on the side of a technic 1200 arm for?

I believe it sets up the "pressure" applied to the stylus "needle" on the record. Certain phono cartridges need various amounts of pressure for them to track and play properly. Check your cartridge for its specs on grams of pressure needed.
