TerraTec - PhonoPreAmp iVinyl
The new phonoPreAmp iVinyl is the next step up the evolutionary ladder for people wishing to digitize their favourite old records and tape recordings. TerraTec have marketed the near legendary PhonoPreAmp Studio USB for years with great success. Now, with its new design and features, this powerful successor will also appeal to dyed-in-the-wool Apple disciples, as well as the PC market. PhonoPreAmp iVinyl provides an easy to use, high quality, value for money solution enabling music lovers to convert their music collection for modern day digital mediums, including Apple's iPod range and other similar MP3 devices.
With a compact footprint, this preamplifier allows users to process vinyl records and audio cassettes in professional quality on the computer and then immortalise tracks on CD - and all this without an audio card! phonoPreAmp iVinyl connects to notebooks and computers via USB cable. Featuring a 24-bit/96-kHz
sampling rate and an RIAA-compliant automatic equaliser, it ensures excellent recording quality. Users can easily switch between phono and line levels. The included restoration software - for the removal of scratches, hissing and other noise artifacts - has also been revamped. Restoration is easy and intuitive, and the application delivers great audio quality to every iPod and hard disk!
Without a device such as the PhonoPreAmp iVinyl, when people wish to process a track on a vinyl record using a computer, they must first load it to the computer via a hi-fi amp. But record players and audio cards work with different audio signals. TerraTec’s PhonoPreAmp iVinyl not only offers a convenient alternative, its sound quality also puts many hi-fi amps to shame. The outboard housing has been painstakingly shielded against interference. It runs externally, so there is no need to open the computer’s housing. Simply connect the record deck and PC via PhonoPreAmp iVinyl and get started. Powered by the USB connection, it needs neither a mains socket nor a driver. phono PreAmp iVinyl ships with an efficient software tool by Algorithmix. It removes or perceptibly reduces unwanted noise such as clicks, crackling and hiss in real time while preserving the original sound and audio quality. A dedicated package for the Mac world includes Roxio’s powerful SpinDoctor software, with support for iTunes.
