The NAD PP 4 Digital Phono USB Preamplifier is a compact device designed to bridge the gap between your cherished vinyl records and modern digital formats. By integrating this preamplifier into your audio setup, you can effortlessly convert analog sounds from LPs into digital files, ensuring your favorite tracks are preserved and accessible across various platforms.

Features

  • High-Quality Analog-to-Digital Conversion
  • Versatile Phono and Line Inputs
  • USB Connectivity for Easy Recording
  • Energy-Efficient Design with Auto Power Down

Seamless Integration with Modern Audio Systems

Many contemporary stereo amplifiers and AV receivers lack dedicated phono inputs, making it challenging to connect traditional turntables. The PP 4 addresses this by offering both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridge inputs, allowing compatibility with a wide range of turntables. Additionally, a line input is available for digitizing other analog sources, such as cassette tapes.

Efficient Analog-to-Digital Conversion

Equipped with a built-in analog-to-digital converter, the PP 4 ensures high-quality digital output. The inclusion of a shielded USB cable and adjustable recording level control minimizes noise and optimizes the conversion process, resulting in clear and accurate digital recordings.

Eco-Friendly Design with Auto Power Down

Demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility, the PP 4 features an energy-efficient power supply that reduces overall consumption. The Auto Power Down function further conserves energy by automatically switching the device off when not in use, aligning with sustainable usage practices.

Comprehensive Software Support for Digitization

To facilitate the transition from analog to digital, the PP 4 includes VinylStudio Lite software compatible with both PC and Mac systems. This user-friendly program enables users to rip LPs into WAV files, split tracks, burn CDs, and manage song titles, ensuring a streamlined digitization experience.
