AnalogMagik is software for setting up and optimizing turntable cartridges, based on Windows. AnalogMagik was designed by Richard H. Mak and a team of engineers. It offers a scientific and repeatable method for calibrating all cartridge setup parameters.

After performing the basic setup of your turntable's cartridge using a suitable alignment tool, our software and test LP will attempt to optimize and fine-tune all the setup parameters listed below, to achieve a more precise analog cartridge setup. Follow the on-screen instructions, and the program will guide you through all the test functions. It will also tell you the "optimal" numbers to look for and what cartridge adjustments you need to make to get there. AnalogMagik comes with the software program, a licensed USB dongle, and 2 test LPs (33⅓ and 45 RPM). Please note that SMARTractor is a separate tool and is not included in the AnalogMagik product package.

AnalogMagik (Version 2) optimizes:

1. Turntable Speed
2. Channel Balance
3. Azimuth / Vertical Tracking Angle / Stylus Rake Angle using 1 test track
4. Adjusting alignment to account for Zenith Angle imperfections
5. Anti-Skating
6. Optimizing Phono Stage Loading
7. Optimizing Phono Stage Gain Setting
8. Vertical Tracking Force
9. Measuring Vibrations
10. Determining Resonance Frequencies
11. AES Wow & Flutter

The USB Phono Plus is a complete hardware solution for making digital recordings from your records.

ART has decades of experience in designing phono preamps, and the USB Phono Pre offers the great sound, low noise, and essential features that have established the DJ Pre II as one of our most popular products.

It adds extended digital connectivity and an integrated USB audio interface. In addition to stereo RCA inputs and outputs, it features S/PDIF and optical inputs, plus an optical output. Connect the USB port to your computer and record better than CD-quality sound to any digital audio workstation software. The headphone output lets you monitor the preamp input, the computer playback, or both together, and has an independent level control so you can adjust your listening volume without affecting the recording.

ART knows recording and knows vinyl, and that combined expertise has produced a compact and convenient interface thats purpose-built for preserving your record collection.

Note: The is a class-compliant USB audio interface, so dedicated driver software is not required for use with most modern operating systems.

A legacy driver is available, which may enable or improve performance on some older Windows operating systems.
