I used a signal generator to balance the Scarlett channels and use the PREII to set the recording levels. And afterwards, you would have to remember to turn it back down - otherwise the AppleTV would be ear-shatteringly loud!

Selecting the low-cut filter makes things better with a positive phase shift that starts at 50 hz and goes up 20 degrees or so at 20 Hz. I'd say it was fairly comparable to other budget pres I tried such as the Pluto and Mani, so a very good bang for the buck.

That's why if headroom is even given as a specification point, it's normally quoted at 1kHz, as at other frequencies, the reduced headroom one side of 1kHz on reproduction should be compensated for an increased headroom on the cutting side and similarly for increasing headroom. But I'm interested in trying it, especially considering how many people mention how good it sounds at 12 volts. Records produce a certain amount of hiss, which is covered up in post-production by boosting the gain of the high frequencies before pressing.

I could not get circuit diagrams for the Creek for some reason, but from my vague recollections the circuit design was very similar to the 1616m, and also the Lehmann Black Cube phono stage (and others). The vintage turntable preamp that I had intended to use developed a faulty left channel, forcing me to remove it from the mix, and find a suitable replacement. Switchable low-cut filter removes turntable rumble without changing the audio, and the front gain trim control and signal/clip LED allow optimizing the preamp gain for a wide range of input sources. Here we have three graphs: one for Pluto and two for DJPRE II with its filter switch to Flat and Low Cut.What you want to make sure of doing is setting it so that is does not stay illuminated red, and that it only occasionally turns red, or flickers. With the DeeJayPRE you can connect a turntable to a conventional line input such as a mixing console, a sound card or a tape deck. You have the option of receiving a full refund / exchange within 14 days, or, exchange / credit only within 30 days. A more usual preamp will take a few tens or hundreds of milliseconds to recover and sound bad with anything but pristine records. So, if you are in a listening situation when you desire a perfectly flat audio response, just switch to "CD Direct".

To be honest, I have yet to record but a handful of LPs, but have not noticed any degradation of the signal using this preamp in the chain. As explained above, I wouldn't be surprised, if these were all very similar, so that pretty similar performance would be to be expected anyway. The RIAA curve is also applied on the cutting side, so overall cutting/replay headroom should be independent of frequency.New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . I would have to revisit it to check - but my recollection was of a "standard" setup nothing special in the design sense, sound was (is) good.

There is of course a difference that CDs are mastered to 0dBFS (all too often) whilst LPs can be cut to any arbitrary level depending on how long each side is, and what level the cutting engineer wants to achieve. The NES power adaptor has a big power brick and was made in Japan in the 80s, so it's of a much higher quality.To ensure that this can be done without damage, the body is made entirely of aluminium, which allows it to be robust without weighing too much. The ART DJ Pre II provided a very flexible and clear way of boosting the phono signal to match the volume of the AppleTV. The ART DJ PRE II is an interface between turntable and audio recording/playback device, perfect for recording vinyl to your computer or adding EQ to your tuntable.
