NAD Electronics PP 4 Phono to USB Preamplifier

If you're a music lover who cherishes their vinyl collection, the NAD PP4 Digital Phono/USB Preamplifier is the perfect device for you. With its superb and measured sonic performance, this little powerhouse of a device will breathe new life into your treasured LPs, offering expansive and rich sound that will take you back in time to the golden era of music.

At the heart of the PP4 lies NAD's commitment to simplicity and ease-of-use. Combining two simple solutions - the PP4 Digital Phono and the USB Preamplifier - into one small and sleek device, it makes it incredibly easy to add phono to stereo amplifiers and AV receivers without a phono input. This is a boon for many modern audio enthusiasts who have found that modern audio equipment has either eliminated the phono input or included a low-quality circuit for attaching your turntable.

The PP4 is also environmentally friendly, featuring 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.

But that's not all - the PP4 goes one step further with a USB interface, shielded USB cable, and recording level control which reduces noise and improves the analog-to-digital conversion process. This means that you can digitize your entire vinyl collection to your PC or Mac with ease.

The PP4 features inputs for both MM (moving magnet) and 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. VinylStudio Lite is a Mac and PC compatible version of AlpineSoft's ripping software that enables you to split tracks, burn CDs, record disks, look up song titles, and handle file management.

To download your free copy of VinylStudio Lite for your PP4, simply visit the links provided on the NAD website. If you want to upgrade to the fully featured version of VinylStudio, you can visit AlpineSoft's website and purchase the most intuitive software available for ripping LPs and burning CDs. With VinylStudio's powerful audio cleanup tools, you can remove clicks and pops, restoring your songs to like-new condition.

Overall, the NAD PP4 Digital Phono/USB Preamplifier offers an exceptional hardware and software solution with exceptional flexibility to record from LP or tape. It's perfect for anyone who wants to preserve their vinyl collection while also enjoying its full potential in the digital age.
