RIAA Curve to 45 RPM vinyl

JoaoBC wrote on 5/18/2020, 12:12 PM

Good afternoon.
Does 45 RPM vinyl use the same equalization curve as 33 1/3?
I have a 45 rpm turntable, and a flat preamp.
Do I use the same equalization of the 33 1/3 disc?
Thank you

@JoaoBC

The RIAA curve standard is the same for both 45 and 33 1/3 rpm discs

Depending on how you are connecting the turntable to the PC and the turntable type - either:

an amplifier - connecting the amp line out to line in on the computer
a phono pre-amp connected to line in on the PC
USB turntable for direction connection to the computer

then the RIAA equalization is already be done for you.
