Phono stages with RCA outputs

RCA

— most often, in this case, a linear output is meant in the form of a pair of RCA connectors (“tulip”) - one for each stereo channel. This output is designed to transmit a line-level audio signal to other system components - for example, an audio receiver or active speakers. The RCA connector itself is considered standard for a linear interface; inputs of this type are available in most stationary audio devices.
