There are several types of USB turntables on the market, each with specific features and functionality. Some of the most common types are:
These turntables allow you to record directly from vinyl to a USB device, such as a flash drive or external hard drive. The recording is made in real time while the vinyl is playing, and the resulting file is saved in digital format.
These turntables allow music to be digitised from vinyl via USB connection to a PC. They use specialised software to convert the analogue signal into a digital file format, such as MP3 or WAV, which is stored on the PC.
These turntables not only offer the digitising function, but can also be connected directly to other external devices, such as speakers or sound systems. This allows vinyl music to be played directly through these devices without the need for additional setup.
Here are some important things to consider before purchasing a USB turntable:
Look for a USB turntable that is well-built and made of durable materials. This will ensure a longer lifespan and stable operation.
Sound quality is critical when choosing a turntable. Check that the model you are considering has a good reputation in the market.
If you want to digitise your vinyl, make sure the turntable offers a direct recording function or a USB connection for transferring audio to a PC or other device.
Some USB turntables come with recording software included. Check whether the software is compatible with your operating system and whether it offers options for editing and enhancing the digitised audio.
Consider the USB turntable's connectivity options. Some models allow direct connection to external speakers or sound systems, which may be convenient if you don't want to use a separate amplifier.
Make sure your USB turntable supports standard vinyl playback speeds (33⅓, 45 and 78 RPM) so you can play your entire collection.
Choose a USB turntable that suits your aesthetic preferences and the space available in your home. Turntables come in a variety of styles, from classic to modern and minimalist.
USB turntables offer several advantages that make them popular with music enthusiasts and vinyl lovers. Here are some of the most prominent advantages:
Easy Digitisation and Conversion of Vinyl to Digital Format.
One of the main advantages of USB turntables is the ability to convert your vinyl into digital audio files. You can transfer the music from your vinyl records to a PC or compatible device via the USB connection. This will allow you to preserve your vinyl collection in digital format and enjoy them on different devices without the need for a traditional turntable.
With a USB turntable, you can record directly from your vinyl and create custom audio files. This gives you the freedom to select and edit your favourite tracks, create custom playlists or even DJ mixes using the right recording and editing software.
USB turntables often offer multiple connectivity options. In addition to the USB connection for transferring audio to a PC, some models also offer additional connectivity, such as RCA audio outputs for connecting to external sound systems, speakers or amplifiers. This expands your playback options and allows you to enjoy your music in different audio configurations.
Although conversion to digital format involves a digitisation process, many USB turntables are designed to maintain analogue sound quality during playback and recording. This allows you to enjoy the unique warmth and character of vinyl sound, even in digital format.
By converting your vinyl to digital files, you can take your music with you on portable devices such as MP3 players, smartphones or tablets. This gives you greater portability and convenience to enjoy your vinyl collection anywhere, anytime.
USB turntables with direct recording allow you to record directly from vinyl to a USB device, such as a flash drive or external hard drive. The recording is done in real time while the vinyl is playing.
Turntables with USB and digitising function allow music to be transferred from vinyl to a PC or other compatible device via the USB connection. They use specialised software to convert the analogue signal into a digital file format.
Turntables with USB and external device connectivity not only offer the digitising function, but can also be connected directly to other external devices such as speakers or sound systems. This allows vinyl music to be played directly through these devices without the need for additional configuration.
To get the best sound quality when using a USB turntable:
Make sure the stylus is correctly positioned and balanced to avoid unnecessary wear on the vinyl and inaccurate playback. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for information on how to properly calibrate and adjust the turntable.
Clean your vinyl before playing to avoid dust and dirt build-up that could affect the sound quality. Use brushes or cleaning products suitable for vinyl.
Make sure you have a good quality stylus and a cartridge compatible with your turntable. These items are crucial for accurate, high-fidelity playback.
When recording or digitising your vinyl, set the equalisation and gain correctly to optimise the sound quality. Some USB turntables offer presets or specific recommendations in their manuals.
If you are using software to record and edit digitised music, be sure to use quality software and follow best practices for the best possible sound quality.
The need to use specific software to record and digitise vinyl with a USB turntable may vary depending on the model and brand of the turntable. Some USB turntables may include recording and editing software in the package, while others may require the installation of compatible third-party software.
Check the turntable specifications and manual to determine which software is recommended or supported.
When using a USB turntable, you can generally create audio files in several common formats, such as MP3, WAV or other digital audio formats. The ability to create different audio formats may depend on the software used for digitising and recording.
When selecting the audio format, it is advisable to consider the desired sound quality and the required storage capacity. WAV files offer lossless sound quality, but take up more storage space. MP3 files, on the other hand, are more compressed and take up less space, but may have slightly lower quality.
