 Convenient iPod controls up front. |
 Among the LP DOCK's features are a USB output and built-in line-level preamp. |
LP DOCK Turntable
The belt-driven LP DOCK features 33 1/3 and 45 RPM settings, a high-quality tonearm and cartridge with anti-skate adjustment. A switch on the back lets you turn the on-board preamp on or off--turn it off when using with a stereo featuring a phono input, or turn it on when you need a line level signal.
iPod Dock
The built-in iPod dock allows you to record your vinyl directly to your iPod or to play back music from your iPod through the turntable's RCA outputs. When not recording, your iPod will also receive a charge, so it's ready to go when you are.
iPod models that support the direct recording feature are as follows: iPod classic 5G and up, iPod nano 2G and up, and iPod 2G and up. All other docking iPod models except generation 1-3 of the standard iPod will play back and charge, but cannot use the direct recording.
USB Connection and Conversion Software Included
Record directly to your computer via the LP DOCK's USB port. Included are EZ Vinyl Converter for PC and EZ Audio Converter for Mac, which both make getting your music into iTunes a breeze. PC users can download a free version of EZ Vinyl Converter with Gracenote MusicID technology, which automatically adds album, artist, and song information for you!
Audacity Software for Advanced Processing
Audacity (PC and Mac) is intended for the advanced user. This application allows for advanced audio editing and processing, such as normalization, noise removal, 78 RPM speed conversion, and automatic track separation.
Stereo Input
For iPod shuffles or other players, you can use the 1/8-inch stereo input to playback or record. The signal is sent to the USB port, so it's a great solution for grabbing music from cassette decks or other sources as well.

Ion USB Turntable with Universal Dock for iPod Reviews
Ion USB Turntable with Universal Dock for iPod Reviews
| 21 of 23 people found the following review helpful  Shockingy poor qualiy, By This review is from: Ion USB Turntable with Universal Dock for iPod (Electronics) The moment I removed the Ion LPDock USB Turntable from its box I realized that purchasing it was a mistake.I am shocked at extremely poor quality in design, materials and assembly. The case, made of cheap and thin plastic, looks flimsy and ready to break at the lightest touch. The unit feels very light, unlike any turntables I've used. Platter lining, made of packaging-like material (not rubber like it should be) feels ready to break. The tone arm came in 3 pieces: a very cheap cartridge, decent S-shaped main piece, and balancer with a plastic dial at the end. Needle pressure setup instructed rotating the balancer to find balance point (zero pressure), and then rotate counterclockwise to find 3.5 gram pressure. Dial weight numbers increased clockwise, so finding proper needle pressure took many attempts. I finally set it up by trial and error. On/off button is inconveniently located towards the back of the unit. I pressed it, then pressed a large play/pause...

Initial setup of the turntable was straightforward, and we were listening to classic James Taylor in minutes. Putting that same music on the Ipod and being able to catalog it was a bit more difficult, but not impossible.One thing that threw my for a loop was the actual process of recording. I was very worried at first that her Ipod wouldn't be compatible, even though I had checked and cross-checked before purchasing the turntable. The 'record' function on the Ipod didn't appear until it was docked with the turntable. Once I docked it, easy peasy. I found the included software to be a bit cumbersome to record whole albums, so we decided to just pick the songs we wanted, record them on the voice recorder, and then convert them on the computer. It's not as seamless as I was hoping for, but I can't complain about the quality. If... Read more 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful  Works, but frustratingly not all the time.
