Product details
To transfer vinyl to your PC, you will need to install a digital audio editor. This software is available for free download on the internet (for example, Audacity). It is a very simple interface that allows you to monitor the volume and balance while the sound is transferred to your PC's hard drive.
The audio editing software includes a level meter that indicates the output level reached when a vinyl record is played. You will need to adjust the output as required using the “Level” control found on the front panel. Always take note of the recording levels to ensure optimal recording quality.
This is an affordable version of the Fono MM and is based on the phono preamp used in the Brio-R amplifier.
Switch it on, sit back and... enjoy!
