Purpose and audience

The ART USB Phono Plus Project Series converts vinyl records and other analogue sources to digital files via USB. It also serves as a general-purpose audio interface for connecting analogue and digital equipment to a computer.

Build integration

The unit accepts RCA phono, line-level, optical TOSLINK and S/PDIF inputs, so it fits between a turntable or digital source and a USB port. It draws power from the USB bus or an external supply, freeing a mains socket when bus power is sufficient.

Sustained operation

Low-cut filters remove rumble during long recording sessions, while the front gain knob and Signal/Clip LED keep levels consistent. USB asynchronous mode for recording and adaptive mode for playback maintain stable timing over extended transfers.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 2.0 interface limit recording quality during long sessions?

The USB 2.0 link runs in asynchronous mode for recording, which isolates the converter clock from bus jitter and keeps fidelity steady for extended transfers.

How hot or noisy does the all-aluminium case get when powered continuously?

The aluminium chassis acts as a passive heatsink; with no fan the unit runs silently and stays warm but not hot during all-day use.

What computer and OS must I already have to use the USB Phono Plus?

A USB-equipped PC running Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista or 7 will recognise the device without extra drivers.
