Kann ich mit dem PP 4 meine Platten digitalisieren?

Ja, genau dafür ist er gemacht. Über den USB-Ausgang überträgst du Vinyl in 16 Bit / 48 kHz auf PC oder Mac. Die mitgelieferte Software VinylStudio Lite trennt die Titel und organisiert deine Aufnahmen zu einer sauberen Bibliothek.

Funktioniert der PP 4 mit MM- und MC-Tonabnehmern?

Ja. Er verstärkt sowohl Moving-Magnet- als auch Moving-Coil-Systeme mit präziser RIAA-Entzerrung. Damit passt er zu praktisch jedem gängigen Plattenspieler – als Phonostufe und als Digitalisierungs-Werkzeug.

Warum den NAD PP 4 bei HD Zürisee kaufen?

Weil wir dir nicht nur die Box verkaufen, sondern zeigen, wie das Digitalisieren im Alltag wirklich läuft – und den passenden Plattenspieler dazu abstimmen. Persönlich beraten in Wädenswil am Zürichsee.

The NAD PP 4 is a phono preamp with a USB output that connects a turntable to any amplifier and digitizes vinyl directly on your computer.

It's the clever two-in-one solution for vinyl fans: listening and archiving in a single device. Because some records simply aren't available to stream anywhere - so you make them yourself.

Why the PP 4?

Because it can do two things. First, a clean phono stage for MM and MC cartridges with precise RIAA equalization (±0.3 dB) and a subsonic filter. Second, a built-in A/D converter with USB output (16-bit / 48 kHz) plus a shielded USB cable and a recording level control - letting you transfer records and cassettes to your PC or Mac with low noise. The included VinylStudio Lite software splits tracks and builds a tidy music library.

What you hear / get

Detailed, balanced vinyl sound - and the freedom to preserve your collection. The extra line input also lets you digitize a cassette deck and the like. Unpack, connect, get started.

Who is the PP 4 suited for? (and who isn't it for)

Ideal for anyone who wants to bring their records (and tapes) onto the computer while still listening well. Plain talk: if you only want to listen and not digitize, the more affordable PP 2e does just as well. And don't expect 24-bit hi-res archiving from the PP 4 - it records at 16-bit / 48 kHz, clean and suitable for everyday use.

Our verdict

A practical two-in-one solution at a fair price: a good phono stage plus a simple digitizing path. If you want to preserve your vinyl treasures, you get everything you need here from one source.
