Frequently Asked Questions

It's a budget-friendly alternative, but a USB interface offers better A/D conversion and more features. The SLA-35 is for simple signal boosting, not full audio capture.
While technically possible, the low gain might not be sufficient for most turntables; a dedicated phono preamp is recommended for optimal results.
It’s a true stereo 3.5mm jack, confirmed by internal circuit design common to Monacor's product line – expect a left and right channel signal.
