ION Audio iProfile - USB Turntable with Direct-to-iPod Transfer

The iProfile from Ion is a vinyl record player with a USB output and an integrated iPod dock. Connect the iProfile to a stereo system or amplified speakers and it can be used as a regular record player, or connect it to a computer via USB to easily transfer your vinyl records to your hard drive. The built-in iPod docking station on the iProfile enables you to record your vinyl records directly onto your iPod. Easy-to-use vinyl conversion software for Mac and Windows computers is included, so you'll have all the audio gear you need to play and digitize vinyl.

The front panel of the iProfile features controls to navigate and play songs from your iPod. You have the option to charge - or not to charge your iPod when it's docked to the iProfile. When your computer is connected to the USB output, and your iPod is docked, you can sync your iPod to your computer through the iProfile with a dedicated sync button. An external auxiliary input on the back of the iProfile allows you to connect another device (such as a cassette player) and digitize its output into your computer.

Whether you're looking for your first vinyl turntable to get into the wonderful world of record collecting, or you're looking for your last turntable to digitize your albums into your computer, the iProfile is a great cost-effective choice.
