I'm thinking about buying an Audio Technica turntable. Will these speakers work with it and what would I need to connect them?

I don't know if they will work specifically with that turntable but the only connections on the back are speaker wire: red and black.

Hi Ann, you need an amplifier. You can't directly connect this on a turntable. -Vincent

Yes, but you will need at least 15 watts of power to power up these speakers. So you need a 15 or higher Stereo power Amplifier to connect to the turntable and speakers. As far as cables: speakers wirer and I think maybe RCA cables? I don't know what kind of turntable you have, or are getting?

If your turntable has 2 RCA audio out cables, then you could plug it in to an AUX input. I've done this with many old turntables and amps and it sounded great.

Any amplified speakers that can connect to this turntable via the RCA wires should work just fine, including the headphones. I hesitate to recommend a specific model because choosing a speaker is a very subjective thing, and depends on your personal tastes.

the rca output from the turntable is low level, and would require a "phono" input jack on your stereo, which would seldom be used for other input sources. You'd only be able to connect the turntable to your stereo system with the USB cable if the stereo system has a USB input port.

You will have to intercalate a phono stage between the turntable and the speakers (some are surprisingly good for a low price, like Behringer's) unless you got one of those newer ones with a built-in one. Quality tuntables are designed to be plugged into ¨phono¨ labeled inputs that have something called RIIA equalizers behind them. Otherwise the sound will be low, thin, lifeless and distorted. Hope it helped !

The turntable has to plug into the preamp at "phono". The turntable has standard RCA jacks for that. Then I assume the 3.55 mm plug goes from the preamp to the speakers. That is my best guess. Good luck!

which speakers do you have? the same? If you do the connections right yes they will work fine.

Hi Coffee Drinker. I'm happy to try to help, though I only drink tea. This turntable must be attached to a receiver (or integrated amplifier, or amplifier + preamp) which has a phono stage. The connectors look the same, but a phono stage must have a much stronger amplifier than, say, a CD player, because a phonograph puts out a much lower signal. If your receiver (or other setup) does not have a phono stage, as many new ones don't (because few people use records any more), then you must get an external phono stage. So, assuming you have a receiver with a phono stage, here's the setup: you plug the 2-wire cable which comes hard-wired into the TT into the phono input of your receiver (left and right, as this is a stereo TT); then of course the receiver is attached to your speakers. If you don't have a phono stage, then you must get an external one to which you attach your TT cable; and then the phono stage is connected to any of the line stages such as the one for a CD player (they're all the same) in the receiver and then the signal plays through your receiver and out to the speakers. Hope this helps.

These speakers require a power source such as an amplifier. The connections on the back are red and black pull down clips not rca sockets. I hope this helps some. They should work with a turntable with the correct connections.

Yes. I hooked 'em up to a pair of AudioEngine A5+ speakers - as recommended by the WSJ. My system works great. It's even easier to move to another room than most turntable hook-ups.

This turntable comes with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, so any speakers that can plug into those will work!

No speakers come with or in the turntable. You will have to use your stereo speakers. Hope this helps.

You will need an amplifier with this turntable. Complement the speakers to the amplifier and your needs: quality and cost should be your first considerations.

a turntable will need its own preamp, or a separate one to act as a go between. Will work in any rca inputs once a preamp is in place. I bought a 20 dollar pyle pro PP444 mini pre-amp on amazon and it works just fine for my turntable which is a vintage pioneer model -PLS40. I have both the SS1000 and SS3000 sony speakers. Obviously the 3000s are better, but make sure you have room as they are big for bookshelf speakers. They are only about 29 dollars more, so well worth it, if you have the space. I use the 1000s as surround speakers as they are easily wall mounted with brackets. I also have a pair of SS6000 floor speakers, which have very true sound, but not very efficient compared to the JBL monitor speakers from the 1970s I just picked up at an estate sale. They don't make them like they used to apparently, although it make be unfair to compare sony to JBL.

yes it should work very well as long as the turntable has a built in preamp. just hook it up to the auxiliary of the amplifier.

There is no "phono" input on this receiver, so it doesn't have a preamp. You can use another RCA input (I am using "Tape"), but that will only work depending on your turntable, and if it has a built-in preamp. If your turntable has a "phono" out or phono switch/setting, it will work. I have one connected and it works fine. Otherwise, you will need to buy a little $20 preamp. If you are only looking to power your speakers for a turntable, this is probably not the receiver for you.

It should work, the only thing I gave in mine us a turntable, but it has jacks in the back. Check your manual
