How do I connect a turntable and amplifier to my stereo?
You cant hook up a amplifier to this unit it has no preamplifier outputs. it doesn't have tape outputs ether and you couldn't use them anyway even if they did have them as they are a fixed output. It does seem to have analog inputs "BUT DOES NOT HAVE BUILT IN PHONOSTAGE" so you will need to have a phonostage with the turntable plugged into that and then left and right channels into the analog aux input. A phonostage both amplifies the signal from the phonocartridge and the re-equalizes the audio signal recorded on the record back to a flat frequency responce. All records are recorded with high frequency's boosted and low frequency's reduces to get more music on a record and to assure the stylus and track it. Kevin 40 years high end audio video specialist
Help with stereo and turntable cables please?
Your Numark TTUSB has a built-in phono preamp and there's a switch somewhere to select between "line" and "phono" output. You want that set to "line". To connect the TTUSB to your Teac TDX250i, you need to use the "aux in" input on the Teac. This is a stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) jack. Press the function button on the Teac to select "aux" when you want to hear your turntable. You'll need a cable or adapter that has a stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) plug on one end and 2 RCA jacks for your turntable on the other end.

Can you hook a turntable up to a surround sound system?
I recently acquired a turntable and am wondering if I can set it up with surround sound. I'm guessing that records are only capable of playing left and right channels, but if I hooked it up to a receiver with phono inputs and surround sound capabilities, would it work? Or would all the speakers just be playing the same thing depending on which side they were on? Also, if I can't hook it up to surround sound, then I'm looking for a simple audio receiver that has a little more to it than just L/R channels (maybe a bass specific output, etc.)... but I also heard that bass can cause some problems with the turntable, so any advice or suggestions on what to get (or what I should do) are more than welcome. Thanks in advance!
How can I solder two (left and right) 2 Pin DIN connector (male) to only one 3.5mm Jack (male) adaptor?
Hi there,has this been solved?Filipe M. Cross Naresh Tummalapalli I have exactly the same requirement -I want to connect an old record player that has only 2 pin DIN connectorsto a MIC (3.5 jack IN) plug e.g. with the computer to record the old vinyls.Technically possible?RegardsNin
How do I convert red and black speaker wire to a 3.5mm audio jack?
You probably don't want to do that, at all. There is most likely a better way to get an audio signal from point A to point B.Most 3.5 mm jacks that you encounter are stereo jacks--stereo speakers, stereo headphones, etc.Stereo 3.5 mm jacks have three conductors; a tip, a band in the middle called the "ring", and the base of the jack called the "sleeve". You may see these referred to as,"Tip, Ring, Sleeve" jacks or sometimes just "TRS" jacks.In almost all stereo applications, the sleeve is the ground or "common", the tip is left, and the ring is right. To get the left signal, you take one lead from the ground and one from the tip. To get the right signal, you take one lead from the ground and one from the ring. As a rule the black wire denotes negative and should attach to the sleeve (ground/common).Whether hooking "red and black speaker wire to a 3.5 mm jack" will work for you depends on what you are trying to do. 3.5 mm jacks are rarely used for speaker-level connections. They are usually used for low level signals such as microphone inputs, line inputs, and headphones. If you are trying to drive a pair of bookshelf speakers from a headphone jack, you probably won't have much luck because speakers require a much higher signal level than headphones. You would most likely need to insert an amplifier between the 3.5 mm output and the speakers.If you are trying to go the other way and hook the speaker output of some device to the 3.5 mm input of another device, you are headed for heartbreak. Since most 3.5 mm jacks used as inputs are looking for a very, very low level microphone signal, the speaker output will be way too loud and the signal will be hopelessly distorted and the microphone input will be irreparably damaged (probably). If the 3.5 mm jack is on a cell phone, you've likely got a four conductor jack: A tip, two rings and a sleeve. On Apple devices, the tip is left, the ring next to it is right, the next ring is ground, and the sleeve is reserved for a microphone.a picture of various 3.5 mm schemes found in nature can be seen, here:
I need help connecting my audio technica lp 120 to monoprice studio monitors.?
Whenever I try to connect my turntable to a pair of studio monitor speKers, the audio is muffled. The only fix to this problem is too disconnect either the left or the right rca cable which leads to the audio from the speakers only playing the left or right sound (Depending on which rca cable I unplugged). How can i fix this problem?
What is the difference between the red and black 1/4 inch cables? Will they always record in stereo?
So you have three things to think about whenever you use a cable like this. The physical format, the number of channels (e.g. stereo or mono), and the signal levels.Note that the mini-plug end has three connectors (tip, ring, and sleeve) - this means that it carries left and right signals (with the common ground) and is to be plugged in to a stereo jack. Each of the 1/4 plugs has just one signal (at the tip) so those are carrying mono signals.The implication is that what this cable is doing is splitting (or combining, depending on the signal flow direction) the stereo signal into two mono signals. Typically red is used for the right channel in such transitions. A typical use for this would be to route the stereo output signal of an MP3 player, phone, or other device with a stereo mini-jack output to two mono-input PA channels.Since you are asking about recording in stereo — yes, this device can also work in the other direction, taking two mono line-level signals and providing them as a stereo signal to a mini-jack input on a recording unit. However note the caveat “line level” in the above sentence — 1/4 inch plugs are typically used to carry other signal levels (such as instrument outputs or amplified signals) and you should not be applying these levels to most inputs where a mini-jack is present. Stereo recording from multiple sources would normally be done through a mixer or level-converter with a line-level output rather than passive cables.
Why is the audio from my receiver only coming out through two speakers? Yamaha HTR-6050?
As noted, I have a Yamaha HTR-6050 connected to a 5.1 system. When playing records, connected to my turntable by a standard RCA cable, I get full surround sound - all speakers functioning properly. However, I use a 3.5mm to RCA splitter cable to hook my receiver up to my TV/laptop/etc via the headphone jack. Up until recently, I've had no problems with this setup - normal speaker function, full surround. About a week ago I noticed that three of my speakers (the center, and L & R surround) no longer put out sound when I'm using my TV or laptop inputs. I'm fairly sure I've just toggled a setting somewhere and forgot what I did, but I would appreciate suggestions as to what to do. Thanks
Is it possible to connect a Bose Wave Radio to Vizio TV?
IF the Vizio has AUDIO OUT jacks on the back of it, then yes you can hook it up.... Just use the AUX inputs on the wave radio....
