Description

The USB Phono Plus is a complete hardware solution for making digital recordings from your records.

ART has decades of experience in designing phono preamps, and the USB Phono Pre offers the great sound, low noise, and essential features that have established the DJ Pre II as one of our most popular products.

It adds extended digital connectivity and an integrated USB audio interface. In addition to stereo RCA inputs and outputs, it features S/PDIF and optical inputs, plus an optical output. Connect the USB port to your computer and record better than CD-quality sound to any digital audio workstation software. The headphone output lets you monitor the preamp input, the computer playback, or both together, and has an independent level control so you can adjust your listening volume without affecting the recording.

ART knows recording and knows vinyl, and that combined expertise has produced a compact and convenient interface thats purpose-built for preserving your record collection.

Note: The is a class-compliant USB audio interface, so dedicated driver software is not required for use with most modern operating systems.

A legacy driver is available, which may enable or improve performance on some older Windows operating systems.
