My turntable has very quiet output. Will this device help boost the volume?

If your turntable has an internal pre-amp, the problem is probably with that piece of your equipment. If it doesn't have an in internal amp, this product should help. Most older turntables do not have built-in pre-amps. I'm assuming you have your turntable connected to an external amp. If it is a stand-alone (speakers in the phonograph) machine, this will not help.

Yes, indeed. If your need was like mine (no built-in pre-amp on the turntable and no specifically dedicated phono input on your amplifier) you will find this unit to be the perfect solution to needed amplification of the turntable's output. Don't forget to hook up the ground wire as directed or you may wind up putting unwanted noise into the audio.

This will boost you output to allow a receiver to use its volume control to give you the sound you want.

Yes that's exactly what it does. Just make sure you have another cable to run into the device from the turntable.

Hi Sally I connect my turntable to my stereo input and stereo goes to a sound jack in my computer. I think this is better than using the Alesis adptor.I tried one and sent it back.Try using your stereo and let me know, Doug in Carlsbad Ca.

This turntable should have a pre amp built in. If it doesnt you will need it. I have the audio technica lp 120 and the pre amp on that is fine

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.

Nope, I added extra speakers via the headphones out port. That did help add a little low end. But I'd still caution against buying this unit for vinyl records.

Yes and no. It won't make it louder. You would need to hook your speakers up to an amplifier to make them louder.

Aux! Phono pre amps boost the signal to regular line level. If you plug it into phono it will be very loud and may blow speakers.

If the sound bar takes regular RCA left and right then yes, it will. If you're plugging the turntable straight into the sound bar and the turntable doesn't have a built in phono preamp (most don't) then it will work. If for some reason there is already a preamp then this will probably damage something.

Do you have A phono-stage pre-amp hooked up between turntable and amplifier? I've got an old Electro-Accompaniet phono preamp & get lots of volume from my Oris 200 horn speakers

I have an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB plugged into an LG Home Theater. I have to really turn the home theater up to get nice volume. Would this preamp help me boost it? Thanks!

If your record player has a 3.5mm audio out then it should be able to output sound. Be advised that this device does not have volume control, so if your record player doesn't have it's own it may not be of much use to you.

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.

It is actually not an amplified device, meaning it will not make your system louder rather distribute the power to different zones with volume control, no louder than what your master volume is set to.Great device if that is what you want!

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.

No, you don't. A turntable preamp will amplify a signal from phono level to line level, so you need either a phono input on your system (which you have) or a preamp between your turntable and a line level input.

You can NOT plug this, or any quality Turntable w/cartridge, directly into a speaker, or any of the new iPhone type accessory speaker devices. You need a "Phono Pre-Amp" that both amplifies the very low level output from the cartridge AND equalizes the sound. All good cartridges equalize to the RIAA curve. A Phono pre-amp has to then de-equalize back to linear sound for play back. Confusing, but required.

I got much better volume by adjusting the equalizer. Go to a video on utube called boost laptop volume. I tried this with my laptop, and it really worked.
