When researching this product, I wasn’t able to find info on its sampling rate capabilities in the USB interface. Just got mine today and was testing it out in a variety of situations, and found a bit more technical info:USB audio interface is based on the Texas Instruments PCM2902, capable of 8kHz, 11.025kHz, 16kHz, 22.05kHz, 32kHz, 44.1kHz, and 48kHz sampling rates on input.It worked great for recording a variety of instruments in my tests. Nice and quiet. The limiter can be a bit noticeable if you push it too hard at least on acoustic guitar. Plugging in an electric and pushing the gain up a bit gives a tube distortion that is usable. Just don’t run the gain too high or you’ll hear a nasty surprise. Tried out a Rode NT1-A and an MXL 990, both phantom powered condenser mics. Results were clean and smooth, with a nice round, natural tone.Then I used it as a DI box for live sound. The gain structure of this thing is crazy. Where my guitar with a Martin Gold Plus thinline

When you don’t need to lug around rack-mounted gear, you need to think smaller. If you’re using ONE microphone, you don’t need two to eight ports! ART seems to have come up with an affordable solution.
I’ve used this preamp for voiceovers as well as live performance onstage and was amazed at the clean gain for the price. Paid for itself the first time I used it. The other thing that sold me on this model was the USB port. No drivers needed, just plug-n-play usability that fits in a briefcase.

First off, this product will provide you with a somewhat clean way of getting audio into your computer (although there is a bit of tube noise in there, which is preferred by some for its sound), only it will be at a very low level. The downside is that it doesn’t work well with all microphones.
Dynamic mics are not a good match with this unit. I have to push in the +20db switch and turn both the gain and output nobs almost fully to the right in order to get enough gain. With that, it works fine, though.
There isn’t much room to tweak for just the right adjustments.
This product is OK with condenser mics, and doesn’t exhibit the same gain issues it does with Dynamic mics, but I am still not overly impressed with the overall amount of gain on this unit. My cheap Behringer board has far more gain than the ART. It’s not even a contest.
This does “warm up” your voice somewhat because it has a tube. Sometimes, I think the bass almost sounds slightly more muddy, but after a while, I have come to like it, provided I have it set correctly. That’s it. It’s not a miracle product that’s going to make you sound like a $1,000 amp. If you’re looking for tube distortion, this product is not what you want, because you don’t have the adjustments necessary to get the type of sound you’re looking for.
I purchased this expecting some tube improvement and warmth. I got some more warmth, but I’m disappointed with the lack of ability to use it with a dynamic mic easily. Is it better than my Behringer audio board? Hmm… it depends on the task I’m using it for.
Someone said that you need to spend a chunk of change in excess of $500 for some, and $1,000 for most preamps to get a “real” tube sound. I now believe it.

Hi,I purchased this unit at christmas for my father who has old records he wants to burn to cd format.I helped him hook it up to his stereo and so far so good.It does what it says it’s supposed to and more.I recently found out you can burn other cds as well as cassete’s which is great!

I found the equipment a little difficult to learn ,but once I figured it out it was easy to use.
August 18th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
I’ve been having a lot of fun with this turntable. It does everything it is supposed to.
A word to the wise … turn off auto track split – it will start new tracks when you don’t want it to.
Very easy operation – choose your disc, press the RECORD button to start the recording process in PAUSE mode, test the recording levels – play the disc from the beginning and press PLAY / PAUSE to start recording. Press PLAY / PAUSE again to pause recording when the track is finished. Press SPLIT TRACK to start a new track in memory, recording will still be in the pause mode. Choose your next disc – repeat… until you have all the tracks you want.
You can rearrange or delete tracks before burning the CD. When you have all the tracks as you want you can then burn to CD.
Another word to the wise – read the pamphlet before trying to burn to disc. I generally do not read manuals, and I could not figure how to get the music from internal memory burned on to a disc – but I looked it up and felt somewaht stupid when I read how to do it.
Also, on the front of the unit by the CD tray, it says you can only use MUSIC CD-R discs, but that is not true, I have burned quite a few regular CD-R discs. The pamphlet also states you can use regular CD-R.
The only problem I have had with the unit is the occasional extra track inserted when things get too quiet. This unit could use a combine track function to combat this problem. This is why I turn off auto track splitting. And you must do this every time you turn the machine on – it doesn’t remember the setting.
Overall, the unit is very well built, perfoms flawlessly and I have had no problems recording to memory or to disc. The turntable also sounds better than doing this with my Audio Technica turntable hooked up to the stereo and dedicated CD recorder – there is better bass response with the ION.
Setup was fairly straightforward. If you’ve never set up this type of turntable before, balancing the tone arm may seem a little daunting – so read the instructions carefully.
This unit is a great idea which has been carried out nearly perfectly. I’d recommend this to anyone who has a vinyl collection they’d like to digitize.
The CD’s that you burn with this will, however, still have the beginning lead in and ending lead out sounds since you have to start recording before the music actually starts to get the beginning of each track. The manual track split function combined with the delete track function can remedy this if that bothers you. If you do use these functions to get rid of extra lead in / lead out time, be sure you delete the extra noise tracks. It will not let you burn a CD if there is any track in memory of less than 4 seconds in length.
There are RCA Jacks on the back for output to an amp, or input from any line-level source, such as tape deck, CD player, etc. You can choose to record from the Line In source by flipping a swith on teh unit. I have not used the USB function on the turntable, nor the software that came with it as I have my own music software. It does come with the free Audacity software, which I’ve read is very good and updated frequently.
I was a little hesitant to purchase this after reading some of the problems people had, but the good reviews far exceeded the bad ones, and I decided to go ahead and buy this unit. I am glad I did.
Have fun!

Faced with the challenge of converting 300+ vinyl records to CDs, I searched Amazon for a converter and found the Ion USB Turntable with Built-in CD Recording. The product description matched exactly what I wanted, and when I received the product and began to use it, the description proved to be entirely accurate. The User Guide is very comprehensive and helpful. The product can be assembled with ease. The mode and function buttons bear labels that are clear both visibly and with regard to their meaning. The product produces CDs with excellent sound. The only negative is that the volume control knob does not have a marker to indicate the level at which the volume is set.
