In addition to stereo RCA inputs and outputs, it features S\/PDIF and optical inputs, plus an optical output. Connect the USB port to a computer and record better than CD quality sound with recording software. The headphone output lets you monitor the preamp input, the computer playback or both together, and has an independent level control so you can adjust your listening volume without affecting the recording. Compact and convenient, it is purpose-built for preserving a record collection, and as a class compliant USB audio interface it needs no dedicated driver software with most modern operating systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eSwitchable stereo RCA input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003ePhono \/ Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003ePhono gain at 1 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e45 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eDigital inputs, optical output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003eS\/PDIF + optical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003e44.1 kHz or 48 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e16 bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass compliant USB audio interface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZero latency hardware monitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable phono or line level\u003c\/strong\u003e stereo RCA input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS\/PDIF and optical inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereo RCA, optical and 1\/8 inch headphone outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable low cut filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowered by USB or external adaptor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eRIAA phono preamp\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe built-in low noise phono preamp precisely conforms to the RIAA standard, with up to 45 dB of gain at 1 kHz.
