Portable vinyl archiving turntable with USB connectivity

Review: Numark has created a revolutionary portable turntable that enables you to convert your vinyl to WAV or MP3. This rugged, portable turntable can run on either wall or battery power, comes with a cover with integrated carry-handle, and has an internal speaker for total mobility. Using the included recording software, no special drivers are needed to connect PT-01USB to any Mac or PC via USB and transfer music from vinyl to hard disk. EZ Vinyl Converter 2 (PC) and EZ Audio Converter (Mac) software are included to make recording and importing audio simple. EZ Vinyl Converter 2 imports your songs directly into your iTunes library, automatically separating tracks, and with a free download of Gracenote MusicID, it can even automatically name your tracks.

PT-01USB also comes with Audacity software for editing your tracks. Audacity also helps reduce clicks, pops, and other noises from your recordings to restore the full quality of your vinyl. PT-01USB has an 1/8" line input so you can connect other sound sources such as tape decks and convert them to digital files too! RCA line outputs enable connection to your DJ system or home stereo so you can use PT-01USB as a standard record-player. In addition to the internal speaker and RCA outputs, you can also listen with headphones. With 33, 45, and 78 RPM speeds, PT-01USB works with your entire record collection. There's even a i10 pitch control to help you optimize your tracks for whatever need you have. Advanced vinyl-to-digital conversion that's ready to roll when and where you are.

Review: The Stanton T.92 USB is a professional level turntable finished in Stanton's new black industrial styling and incorporates a USB output into a deck with features that DJ's crave. Simply connect the deck via its USB output and you'll be able to record vinyl to your computer with ease, yet connect it to your mixer and you have an excellent DJ turntable. Using a high torque direct drive motor for improved playback of belt drive decks, the T.92 has a quartz lock feature to ensure playback speed never changes which is essential for recording.

The T.92 utilises Stanton's key lock technology that allows the record to be speeded up or slowed down without affecting the pitch of the music. The same technology is found on their flagship decks, and it has the exact same effect as you find on cd decks with key lock. The T.92 also benefits from an adjustable pitch range from 8-12 and dual start stop buttons that suit battle position as well as the traditional deck layout. Coming with cartridge and stylus, as well as a cotton dust cover, the T.92 USB is well suited to DJing as well as vinyl archiving. Stanton have also included cakewalk pyro 5 music and sound editing software for professional level recording of vinyl. With its superb dual functionality, the T.92 is a welcome entry into the USB turntable market from the manufacturers that are responsible for arguably the best DJ turntables of modern times.
