REAL SOUND / TURNTABLES

  Akai Roll Out Turntable With USB

By Mike Wheeler | Friday | 31/10/2008

Akai’s new Professional turntable comes with what is a growing trend with vinyl players, a USB audio output, which allows users to digitally store their music on their computer before it’s lost forever.

Users can play their vinyl records through their Hi-Fi system, supporting 33 ½, 45 and 78 RPM playback speeds, and features anti-skating control. This works to minimise the ‘skating' force that pulls the tonearm towards the centre of the record as it plays, thus delivering a clear, balanced sound.

The ATT10U also features a static balanced tone arm with detachable head-shell, built-in phono preamp, and slip pad, which allows users to produce ‘scratching' sounds and other special effects without damaging their records.

The turntable's USB output provides users with an easy way to record and archive their record collection. Connect the turntable to a computer via USB and, using the Audacity software included, import the music from your records onto your computer's hard drive.

Compatible with both PC and Mac, the easy-to-use software also lets users remove clicks, pops and other noises, as well as export the tracks into WAV or MP3 formats. As well as giving consumers the opportunity to save old records that may be deteriorating, the USB recording function is also ideal for DJs who are looking for a simple way to record their mixes direct to their PC.

RRP
$299.95
