Ion's LP Dock Iain McDonald
Everything these days comes with an iPod dock, its a fact of life. Keen to not be left out, Ion have grafted on an iPod dock to their USB turntable. The LP Dock allows transfer of vinyl to PC or Mac via USB as well as directly copying to an attached iPod. All the standard turntable features are present as well as a built in preamp for connection to any device with a line level input. The included software will remove any clicks and pops as well accessing Gracenote's database. Any incoming audio is analyzed and all the track details are added to the file. Suggested retail price is around $299.
