USB Turntable

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Spin Your Vinyl into the Digital Age

— April 16, 2007 — Tech
Vinyl still has a better sound quality than CD but where can you play it if your grandfather's turntable won't play anymore. Here is Stanton DJ's new professional turntable. The T.90 USB "offers a high-torque direct drive motor and three playback speeds to support old 78-rpm records, a +/- 8 and 12-percent pitch slider, and tempo adjustments. It supports S/P DIF digital and USB output for transferring your favorite songs on vinyl records directly to a CD recorder or hard drive. Files can be converted to MP3 or WAV with the software included with the player."
Trend Themes
1. Vinyl-to-digital Conversion - The trend of converting vinyl music into digital formats for convenient storage and playback presents an opportunity to innovate in digital audio preservation technology.
2. High-quality Turntables - The trend of renewed interest in vinyl music among audiophiles creates an opportunity for high-quality turntable manufacturers to offer new models with advanced features.
3. Multi-format Audio Players - The trend of supporting multiple audio formats, including vinyl, through modern playback options across devices opens opportunities for software developers to create new player applications for enthusiasts on the go.
Industry Implications
1. Audio Equipment Manufacturing - Manufacturers of turntables and other audio equipment can leverage new technologies to create high-quality, customizable products for audiophiles transitioning between digital and traditional music formats.
2. Software Development - The trend of digitizing older music formats presents an opportunity for mobile app and software developers to create new applications for converting vinyl music into digital formats, or for playing both new and old audio formats on a variety of devices.
3. Music Retail - The renewed interest in vinyl music and the development of multi-format audio players opens up opportunities for music retail stores to expand their offerings to include both traditional and digital music formats in a single location.
