Transfer vinyl and record mixes straight to your computer
The USB Phono Plus from ART Accessories has been designed as the
perfect interface between a computer and your DJ hardware. This funky
gadget can convert vinyl to mp3 and record a DJ mix without the need
for expensive soundcards.
Acting as an interface between your computer and deck (or mixer), the
USB Phono Plus allows you to record directly via a usb connection. It
offers an excellent digital recording, even including a low cut filter
that removes any turntable noise or rumble.
The analog inputs are switchable between Phono and Line level signals
and a low cut filter removes rumble and wind noise whilst leaving the
audio pristine. The front gain trim control and signal/clip LED allow
you to optimize the A/D for a wide range of input sources. The front
panel USB monitor/headphone jack and the optical output on the rear
panel can monitor audio output from your computer. The built-in low
noise Phono preamp circuit is highly accurate and precisely conforms
to the RIAA standard. The Line Output jacks are always connected to
the input preamps signal for source monitoring.
Housed in a black aluminum anodized case, the USB Phono Plus can be
powered by either an external power source or directly off the usb port.
The USB Phono Plus also comes with the excellent recording software
Audacity on CD-Rom which allows you to easily edit mixes, cut and
paste and add effects to the overall recording. .
