AUDIO-TECHNICA is known for their professional microphones, headphones, phono cartridges and accessories. They recently introduced the AT-LP2D-USB LP-to-Digital Recording System, the simple way of turning vinyl records into CDs or digital files with the use of a computer.

The system comes with the AT-PL50 Automatic Stereo Turntable. The turntable connects directly to the computer via the USB port. The fully automatic turntable offers two speeds (33 1/3 and 45 RPM) and comes with an aluminum platter, audiophile Dual Magnet stereo cartridge (with replaceable stylus), a balanced tone arm with soft damping control, USB and adapter cables to connect to your stereo or powered speakers. The included Cakewalk’s PYRO Software features a DeClicker and a DeNoiser tool for removing clicks, pops, crackles, hiss and hum from LPs and allows creation of MP3, WAV and WMA files. MAC-compatible Audacity software is also included.

I have found this unit to be of very high quality and is user-friendly. What makes this unit stand out amongst others on the market is that one can create tracks AFTER the music has been recorded and the ease of use. An excellent product for both PC and MAC users! www.audio-technica.com

    That’s a good way to recycle old 45 music. Then you can send them in to get the material recycled.
