The PP4 Digital Phono/USB Preamplifier enables you to digitize your treasured vinyl collections to a PC or Mac. It features inputs for both MM (moving magnet) and low noise MC (moving coil) types for a wide variety of phono cartridges, and there is a line input to allow for the transfer of cassette tapes. The PP4 also includes VinylStudio Lite Software for ripping LPs and burning audio CDs. The PP4 Phono-to-USB Preamp offers a complete hardware and software solution with exceptional flexibility to record from LP or tape. The PP4 uses a shielded USB cable and recording level control, which reduces noise and improves the analog-to-digital conversion process. As part of NAD’s commitment to the environment, the PP4 features a more efficient “green” power supply that reduces power consumption. It also has an Auto Power Down feature that saves energy by shutting off when not in use.
