Can these be used with a turntable?

CR is correct. You will need to have a preamp of some sort built in to your turntable or a separate phono stage preamp. While I have not tried myself, I seriously doubt you could hook the rca out of the turntable directly into these speakers and get any reliable sound. The phono cartridge does not have enough output to drive a traditional amplifier in most cases. I do not recall seeing anything about a phono gain on the speakers. But I bet they would sound pretty nice with something like the Aragon 47K in between them, especially if you got the A5's

Yes they have a phono input via minijack. However if the turntable has no preamp then the signal level from the pickup cartridge on the pickup arm will need a phono preamp which is normal. Amplifiers with a 'phono' input have these built in but self powered speakers never have this. These speakers are very good for vinyl.

No you would not be able to use the digital inputs. Turntables need to use the phono stage as it amplifies the signal from the cartridge and applies the RIAA equalization curve. There will be volume differences since each phono cartridge has different outputs levels. I hear very little volume drop but I have a higher output cartridge on my turntable. Make sure you using the proper phono cartridge settings ie (MM) for Moving Magnet or (MC) Moving Coil, that will also make a difference in volume.

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.

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.

Sorry Bruce, I don't have a turntable but I can tell you they are connected to my computer and are great! And if the connection which is the smaller plug works on your turntable it should work....

Although I don't have a turntable, it does have phono (RCA) inputs for one. I'm sure you can google the manual online.

If your definition for a turntable is a device used to play records then maybe. This will depend on the size and type of receptacles in the back of the turntable. If they are red, blue, and white you may have a difficult time finding athe proper adapters. I doubt if they will work trying to plug them in directly. Radio Shack can perhaps give you the best advice on wiring and adapters needed if this is the case.

The unit has a line out l/r, with a switch for internal or external. I don't see why this wouldn't work. I love the unit. I believe that I have used it more than I did my turntables in the 70s and 80s.

If your turntable has a jack to plug your headphones into, then all's you would need is a male/male connection (I think it's 1.5mm) to tie the turntable to the amplifier input. Plug your headphones into the amplifier output and you should have a boosted signal that will improve your headphone sounds by some margin. I use it for my MP3 player so there shouldn't be any reason your turntable wouldn't work.

I would not see why not if the turntable has RCA plugs. Mine is connected to a front PC USB portwith a 35 year old turntable attached.

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, although I have not needed to yet. I believe you can either get them through Crosley or I am sure a place like KAB Electroacoustics would have them as they specialize in turntables.

Hi Mike, Yes, you can hook up your turntable , it will play through "line in" as the source Jack

It looks like you should be able to. There are audio "in" jacks (1red & 1 white) on the back of the unit. There are also a couple of USB ports on the front of the unit but I don't know if turntables are using them now. It is a nice system with lots of power, I like mine!

U need a regular amp for u'r application. This a Great speaker amp,not for a turntable though.

No, I don't but it is possible to connect turntables that have RCA plug outputs into the inputs so the signal can be entered into a computer program.Personally, I only use the outputs which go to sound equipment such as a mixer.

I just connected one of my turntables and it will work, BUT with a very low output at speakers. You will need a preamp.
