Digital Phono Preamp with USB

NAD PP 3i Digital Phono Preamp with USB



LP to HD: The easy way to digitize your records!
This sophisticated and cost-effective component allows you to enjoy your vinyl LP collection through your normal stereo system, but also gives the option to record your LP's into today's digital formats.

The PP-3i combines NAD's award winning PP-2i MM / MC Phono Preamp with a high quality Analog-to-Digital converter with USB interface. The PP 3i enables you to transfer your valuable vinyl collection to a PC or Mac hard disc drive. There is also a line input to allow for the transfer of cassette tapes. This extra functionality makes the PP-3i an easy upgrade from the PP-2i, while maintaining the PP-2i's extraordinary performance and sound quality.

The new "greener" PP-3i uses less than one watt of power in standby mode. NAD has also improved the digital circuitry and included a new, shielded USB cable, which both combine to reduce noise and improve the analog-to-digital conversion process.

The PP 3i offers a very high quality path to converting analog vinyl into digital music files. Unlike the "all-in-one" solutions on the market that use inferior turntable and cartridge elements, the PP 3i uses your existing high quality vinyl playback system and offers audiophile-quality ripping. The PP 3i Phono-to-USB Preamp offers a complete hardware and software solution with exceptional flexibility to record from LP or tape.

The PP 3i comes with AlpineSoft's VinylStudio Lite ripping software (for both Mac and PC). VinylStudio Lite is the most intuitive software available for ripping LPs and burning audio CDs. It automatically adds track numbers, looks up song titles (metadata) online, and offers other options for file management. Users can also opt to automatically add tracks to their iTunes Music Library. The included VinylStudio Lite PC Software makes it easy to copy your LPs directly to the hard drive of your PC as either wav or mp3 files.
