How would I hook these up to a Art DJ II Phono pre-amp/U-Turn Orbit Basic turntable? How do I hook up the right speaker?

Yo,i looked up what you said you had and to tell the truth,you really can't hook them up to that software!...It's a amplifer,what you got,but them speakers are only use for studio recording!...You go to hook them up through your computer!

Looking at the connectors on the back, I don't see a "Phono" jack. You'll need to get a pre-amp (they're not expensive) to hook your turntable to, then the preamp output to the receiver. (My current Pioneer, which I got a couple of years ago, doesn't have phono inputs so that's what I had to do. NBD, really.) FWIW, I jumped on this deal because of the versatility of the connectors. I have a ceiling-mounted projector that is component input only, so this will allow me to have HDMI blu-ray into the receiver, and component outputs to the projector.

These Micca speakers are not powered speakers so you will need some kind of amplifier to power them. An old stereo receiver would work or use what I do, a Topping T-amp available on Amazon and known for great sound quality at a low price. Another alternative if you need small speakers would be to consider powered speakers with the amplifier built into the speaker, sometimes known as powered studio monitors. I do see that this same brand Micca does make a powered speaker model # PB42X and is available on Amazon and would work with your Phono Pre and turntable.

I realize this is an ancient question. You'll need to plug your turntable into an appropriate preamp, then this would work as you describe.

Basically any receiver/amp will work with this unit as long as the inputs are RCA jacks and that's pretty much all of them. Here's how it breaks down. All turntables require a pre-amp before the signal goes to the main amplifier. Most modern receivers do not have a dedicated slot for turntables any longer. So most turntables include the pre-amp built in. The switch for the pre-amp is on the back of the Audio Technica. * So if your receiver has a setting for "Phonograph", "Phono" or "Turntable" you're good to go. Just switch the pre-amp Off on the back of the turntable. * If your receiver doesn't have a setting for "Phonograph", or one of the a fore mentioned, then turn the switch On. That's it. Simple. Just be aware that should you buy a receiver without a "Phonograph" input you will loose the slot for whatever peripheral should go there. In my case I use an Onkyo CR-315 Shelf Unit. I plug my Audio Tecnica into the "Dock" slot. This is to be used with a special docking device that allows you to plug in an iPod. I know longer have this device, so no harm no fowl. If however I did have this device and needed to use it, I would constantly be switching between these two devices on my receiver. So just make sure you have enough inputs to avoid this potential hassle. Really, the only thing you need to look for on a receiver is to make sure it excepts inputs through RCA jacks and again, that's pretty much the standard. As to brand, that's up to you as far as your needs and budget.

to connect the turntable, you need to add another phono preamp. but the X-1 amplifier can't connect to headphone.

Hi,You would need to have an amplifier because this speaker does not have any built-in amplification, and the Art DJ II does not either.

Sorry, but no, it's a "pre-amp". meaning it then needs to be connected to an amplifier or receiver which in turn are hooked to speakers. These are mainly used to hook up vintage turntables as modern amplifiers no longer have a proper "phono" input.

It's an integrated amp, so you don't normally need a pre-amp. However there is no phono stage so you would need one for your turntable in order to bring the sound from the vinyl back to RIAA standard. Good speaker cables, too, obviously.

This turntable should have a pre amp built in. If it doesnt you will need it. I have the audio technica lp 120 and the pre amp on that is fine

Here is an excellent article to help identify what you have and outline what you need: http://turntablelab.com/pages/beginners-guide-to-turntables (What you're asking is covered in the section "2.1 Simplified Turntable Setup with Active Speakers")

This turntable has stereo RCA output for connecting to speakers, pre-amp, or stereo input, so if your speakers have RCA input you can plug it right in. If your speakers are 1/8" plug, you can use an RCA to 1/8" adapter cable.

You'll need speaker cables from the amp to the speakers. You'll need audio cables from the turntable to the amp. Not sure if those come with your turntable, but neither come with the speakers. You may also need a phono pre-amp depending on your turntable.

Yes they have a phono input via minijack. However if the turntable has no preamp then the signal level from the pickup cartridge on the pickup arm will need a phono preamp which is normal. Amplifiers with a 'phono' input have these built in but self powered speakers never have this. These speakers are very good for vinyl.

You will need to use a preamp with this receiver, there is no phono input. You can buy a phono preamp starting at about $20. If you don't use a phono preamp, the sound will be very quiet and you'll have to crank the sound all the way up to hear it at all. Some turntables have a phono preamp built in, in which case you won't need one.

You will need a pre-amp, when I first got this I got a Music Hall PA1.2 MM/MC Phono Pre Amp. So RCA cables from the turntable go into the pre-amp then the pre-amp feeds into your receiver/amp then out into you speakers. Everything has been great and I'm really happy with my purchase, you may want to get another cartridge as backup or to replace the one it comes with. I have one just for backup and have found the one that comes with it works great. I didn't have to buy anything else.

YOU WILL NEED A PHONO PREAMP, Just check out Amazon for some phono preamps, $20-60 should get you one. That goes between your turntable and the amp inputs. I have this amp and it sounds great, make sure you use a 24VDC power supply, nice clean output I drive 2 MTM towers and they sound great with this amp.....
