NAD Electronics PP4 Overview

Offering superb measured and sonic performance, the NAD PP 4 Digital Phono USB Preamplifier combines two simple solutions into one small device, making it easy to add phono to stereo amplifiers and AV receivers without a phono input.

The PP 4's auto power down feature saves energy by automatically powering the PP 4 off when not in use. Use the PP 4 to digitize your treasured vinyl collections to a PC or Mac. It features inputs for both MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) types for a wide variety of phono cartridges, and there is a line input to allow for the transfer of cassette tapes. The included shielded USB cable and recording level control reduces noise and improves the analog-to-digital conversion process. The PP 4 also includes VinylStudio Lite software for ripping LPs and burning audio CDs.
