Can a Griffin iMic be used as a turntable preamp?
I have a Griffin iMic that i have been using for microphone level inputs to record on my Mac. However, now i have a turntable what outputs phono and i'd like to use the iMic to amplify it to Line out so i can play it on my speakers. Is there any way that anyone knows about where I can use the iMic as a preamp without having to hook it up to my computer. Thanks!
No, the iMic is just a audio usb adapter. It doesn't have the necessary RIAA equalization that's required to properly play vinyl. When a recording is put on vinyl, the highs and lows (treble and bass) are toned down to help keep the needle in the groove, and those highs and lows are replaced during playback by an RIAA filter built into most home stereo amplifiers. That equalization is built into the "Final Vinyl" software so of course you can rip your vinyl using imic and the sofware, but the iMic alone can't do it.
