Can these speakers be used with a turntable/record player since they are powered? particularly with the Audio Technica AT-LP120-USB? null

Question

Bengalforests · Accepted Answer

A turntable can be plugged directly into the right speaker. There is a phono/line switch.

Caleb · Answer

Yes, you can use them in your set up with the USB input. I would recommend using either RCA, 3.5 mm, or Bluetooth to connect instead of the USB,.

Actually yes! These are the speakers included in the klipsch turntable package. So they have the ability to be grounded with the turntable.

DiamondPilot · Answer

Yes, these speakers have a built-in phono preamp stage, so they will work with any turntable that has a moving magnet cartridge (the vast majority, including your AT-LP120).

If your turntable outputs line-level with RIAA equalization, set the switch on the back of the speakers to "Line."
If your turntable outputs phono-level without RIAA EQ, then set the switch on the back of the speakers to "Phono."

If you have a moving coil cartridge, only then will you need a special outboard preamp.
