{"product_id":"art-pro-audio-usb-phono-plus-v2-30197","title":"USB Phono Plus V2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn Interface Designed for Audio Digitization in the ART Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ART USB Phono Plus aligns with ART's philosophy: offering practical studio and audio transfer tools focused on efficiency, with clear connectivity. Here, the goal is simple: to bridge a hi-fi source (turntable, player, preamp, line output) and your computer, while preserving essential settings to obtain a usable signal without complications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts main advantage lies in providing a true \"phono to USB\" path without needing an external phono preamp. It is therefore especially suitable for those who want to archive a record collection, prepare samples, or convert a domestic source to a digital format in a home studio environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and Its Uses in Home Studio and Archiving\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interface is aimed at musicians, beatmakers, DJs, and vinyl enthusiasts who wish to \u003cstrong\u003erecord a turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e into audio software, capture excerpts, or transfer an analog signal to the computer at the correct level. The PHONO\/LINE selector facilitates switching from a turntable (phono level requiring dedicated preamplification) to a more typical line source (player, mixer, output from hi-fi equipment).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can also serve as a digital bridge thanks to its optical inputs and outputs, useful if you work with an existing digital chain. The front-panel headphone monitoring provides immediate comfort to verify signal presence, adjust gain, and secure your takes before proceeding further with editing or restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSettings and Connectivity: Essentials for a Clean Signal\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBuilt-in Phono Preamp and PHONO\/LINE Selection\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key feature of the USB Phono Plus is its \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in phono preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to connect directly to a turntable via RCA. The PHONO\/LINE selector adapts the input stage to the source: this prevents too low a level (if you connect a turntable to a line input) or, conversely, saturation (if you send a line-level signal into a phono stage).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eGain Adjustment and Rumble Management\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003egain adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e with a range of -20 dB helps precisely set the level before conversion, a crucial point to preserve dynamics and limit noise. Additionally, the \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable high-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e (-3 dB attenuation at 22 Hz) aims to reduce very low-frequency vibrations typical of turntables (rumble), to achieve cleaner bass and ease processing in your software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHeadphone Monitoring and Power Supply\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront-panel headphone monitoring facilitates control during recording: you can confirm that the source is present and that the level is appropriate. Regarding power, the switch (USB or external) offers flexibility depending on your setup and type of installation (laptop, desktop, dedicated digitization station).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: The indicated compatibility (Windows 98 to XP, Mac OS 9.x and above) reflects the systems mentioned by the manufacturer. In a modern context, usage may depend on your configuration and the USB standards supported by your computer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ART Pro Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54334630986003,"sku":"30197","price":116.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/2046566b9805d21b11ac7a7af3c70d67390f4408_5021_3.jpg?v=1792411956","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/art-pro-audio-usb-phono-plus-v2-30197","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
