The NAD PP 4 phono preamp is a versatile device that allows you to not only play vinyl records with high quality, but also to digitize them to your PC if desired. The device is housed in a relatively small metal case, which protects its circuits from external electrical interference, and is convenient for placement near the turntable. The unit operates on an external DC power supply.
On the front panel of the NAD PP 4, there is a USB port to connect to a PC (Mac or PC), and the device comes with special software VinylStudio Lite. With this software, analog recordings from vinyl records can be digitized losslessly in WAV format, separated into tracks, named, and even burned to a CD if desired. The program has an intuitive interface and is very user-friendly. To ensure high-quality recording, the NAD PP 4 is equipped with a signal level control. In addition to digitizing tracks from vinyl records, the device can also be used to transfer linear audio signals to your PC (for example, from a tape deck) via a separate input.
At the same time, the NAD PP 4 is an excellent phono preamp for MM and MC cartridges, which can be recommended for use in systems instead of built-in devices. All necessary input jacks are located on the back panel of the device, and the specific signal source is selected using small switches. The NAD PP 4 has preset values for input impedance and gain for cartridges of each type, so no additional adjustment of the phono preamp is required. A pair of RCA jacks is used to connect to an amplifier. The unit is simple and reliable to use, and will not be difficult for even beginner music lovers to master. The NAD PP 4 is a great purchase for users who not only want to listen to music from records, but also occasionally digitize their most valuable analog recordings.
