It depends. The turntable is producing an RIAA equalized LINE level signal when the phono preamp inside it is used. If your computer is an Apple computer, the 3.5mm AUDIO IN jack on it can typically be designated as either a MIC input or as a LINE input. You need a LINE input. This may or may not be the case on a Windows computer. If the the input is a MIC input ONLY it is not going to work, the line level signal will overdrive the input and the sound will be distorted a a result. Since this type input is 3.5mm stereo mini-jack, you will need either a dual RCA (females) to single 3.5mm male stereo mini-plug adapter to adapt the supplied audio cable to the computer, OR you can use a different cable all together, one that as 3.5mm male stereo mini-plugs at each end. The Analog Out jack on the back of the turntable is the 3.5mm stereo (TRS) type jack. The audio cable that we supply with the turntable is the 3.5mm stereo mini-plug to dual RCA (males) type cable.
