{"product_id":"nadpp4","title":"NAD PP 4 Phono Preamp with USB","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the PP 4?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear \/ get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetailed, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the PP 4 suited for? (and who isn't it for)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for anyone who wants to bring their records (and tapes) onto the computer while still listening well. \u003cstrong\u003ePlain talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical two-in-one solution at a fair price: a good phono stage plus a simple digitizing path.
