How Does a Record Player Setup Work
All-in-One Record Player
Record Player → Built-in Speakers. No separate amplifier or speakers are required for basic playback. Best for: Bedroom, Apartment, Office, Dorm, Casual listening, First-time vinyl listeners.
Turntable + Powered Speakers
Turntable → RCA → Powered Speakers. Powered speakers have their own built-in amplifier, so you do not need a separate amplifier.
Turntable + Bluetooth/Active Speakers
Enjoy wireless listening by pairing directly with Bluetooth speakers or headphones. For wired setups, because our turntable has no built-in phono preamp, an external phono preamp is required: connect to active speakers via a phono preamp, or to passive speakers using both a phono preamp and a power amplifier.
