AUDIO-TECHNICA INTRODUCES ITS AT-LP2D-USB
LP-TO-DIGITAL RECORDING SYSTEM
— Easy-to-use turntable and software package features USB connectivity
with PC and Macintosh® compatibility —
STOW, OH, February 1, 2008 —
Audio-Technica introduces its new AT-LP2D-USB LP-to-digital recording
system, a complete USB turntable and software package that makes it
easy to transfer vinyl records to digital media files and CDs.
The AT-LP2D-USB includes a turntable and phono cartridge,
PC- and Mac®-compatible software, a USB cable that connects the
turntable directly to a computer and other accessories.
Crystal Griffith, Audio-Technica Consumer Marketing Manager,
noted, “Many people still own their classic LPs and 45s, and a
younger generation is discovering and collecting vinyl. The AT-LP2D-USB
offers users a simple, cost-effective solution for transferring records
to digital files and portable players, and for listening to records
on a home music system.”
The turntable features fully automatic operation and a
33-1/3 and 45 RPM speed selector to play vinyl formats from LP albums
to 12-inch and 7-inch singles. The turntable is designed to deliver
high-quality sound, with a balanced aluminum platter, precision Dual
Magnet™ stereo cartridge with replaceable stylus and a pickup
arm with soft damping control. The turntable’s supplied USB cable
enables plug-and-play connection to a desktop or laptop computer. Its
built-in switchable phono preamp, RCA output cables and adapter cables
allow connection to a wide variety of music and home entertainment systems,
as well as to A/V receivers that do not include a dedicated phono input.
The supplied Cakewalk® PYRO (for PC) and Audacity®
(for Mac or PC) software converts the audio on a record to MP3, WAV
or Windows Media® audio files, for playback on a wide variety of
portable audio players, computers, home media centers and car audio
systems. The PYRO software also features DeClicker and DeNoiser utilities
that automatically remove pops, clicks, noise and hiss from LP recordings,
as well as design software for creating personalized CD jewel case artwork
and CD labels.
The Audio-Technica AT-LP2D-USB LP-to-digital recording
system is available immediately
at a U.S. MSRP of $229.
