The MM-008 ADC takes the MM-008 phono stage and adds an analogue-to-digital converter. Records are digitised straight to a computer, with no separate capture hardware.
Windows and macOS both ship simple recording software, enough for a first try. To get the most from the MM-008 ADC, Thorens recommends software that records at 24-bit / 96 kHz and saves losslessly, in FLAC or Apple Lossless.
The base remains that of the MM-008: a phono stage that takes moving-magnet as well as moving-coil cartridges. The cartridge signal, in the millivolt range, is amplified and corrected before it reaches the amplifier.
The front panel is brushed aluminium, in a silver finish. The unit sits between the turntable and a line input, and makes a phono input on the amplifier optional.
