How To: Vinyl Digitization in B5: Getting Set Up

Digitize vinyl records in the Library Media Labs B5!

What You Need

You must check out a new needle cartridge from John Bruner's office! There is no needle in the cartridge currently. 

To use, you must stick this into the tone arm and screw it on. 

 

Powering On

Turn the vinyl digitizer on as well as the computer B5C (if it's not already). 

Playing The Record

Place the record onto the turntable and lift the needle onto the record. 

Select the speed of your record (will usually say on the record or on the sleeve)

You can also plug other things into the 1/8" STEREO INPUT with a mini to mini cable (such as a wave recorder or phone). It won't put it on vinyl, but you can do everything the same to make a recording but don't put a record on, just play your device.
