RIAA equalisation question?

Question

I have a mixer that doesn't have any RIAA-equalised stereo phono inputs. But it does have individual high, mid and low controls on each channel, and plenty of gain.

If I feed the left-hand input into one channel and pan it all the way left, the right-hand input into another channel and pan it all the way right, boost the bass and cut the treble, will that work?

Answer 1

Somewhat, but the curve will not be too accurate. You can get a small battery operated phono preamp that does the correct equalization for a about $20.
