NAD PP3 USB Phono Pre-Amplifier

NAD PP3 USB Phono Pre Amplifier

LP to HD

NAD’s PP-3 combines the award winning PP-2 MM/MC Phono Preamp with a high quality Analog-to-Digital converter with USB interface. Utilizing VinylStudio™ Lite PC Software (CD included - Apple Computers not supported) copy your LPs directly to a PC as either .wav or .mp3 files. Once your analog LPs are digitized, the music can be burned onto CD-Rs’ or transferred to portable music players. The PP-3 also includes the same analog outputs as the PP-2 for connection to an analog stereo system.

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING

The PP-3 phono preamp consists of a low noise discrete MC preamp followed by a low noise opamp-based RIAA MM stage incorporating a 12 dB /octave infrasonic filter to attenuate turntable “rumble” noise. The output feeds the Line Output as well as the soft clipped input of an A/D converter with USB Output. This can be connected to any PC for recording from vinyl disc to PC hard drive.
