Yes, you will need speakers to listen to the Electrohome Montrose record player. Fortunately, it comes with a built-in preamp so all you need to do is connect it to your favourite set of speakers with the included RCA cables, or to an amplifier. Both the RR35 and RR36 models can be easily connected to the [McKinley 2.0 Stereo Powered Bookshelf Speakers (EB30)](https://www.electrohome.com/mckinley-powered-bookshelf-speakers-eb30) with  RCA cables, and in the case of the RR36, via Bluetooth. When using an amplifier or A/V receiver, be sure you do not connect it to the PHONO input if it has one. The PHONO input has a preamp as well and will distort the audio if the turntable preamp is on at the same time. If you want to use the amplifier's PHONO input, turn the preamp off on the turntable. - [Retro Turntables](https://support.electrohome.com/s/retro-turntables?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Retro Turntable Setup](https://support.electrohome.com/s/retro-turntables?hsLang=en#retro-turntable-setup) - [Retro Turntable Troubleshooting](https://support.electrohome.com/s/retro-turntables?hsLang=en#retro-turntable-troubleshooting) - [Retro Powered Speakers](https://support.electrohome.com/s/retro-powered-speakers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Retro Speaker Troubleshooting](https://support.electrohome.com/s/retro-powered-speakers?hsLang=en#retro-speaker-troubleshooting) - [Retro Speaker Set Up](https://support.electrohome.com/s/retro-powered-speakers?hsLang=en#retro-speaker-set-up) - [Discontinued](https://support.electrohome.com/s/discontinued?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Clock Radios](https://support.electrohome.com/s/discontinued?hsLang=en#clock-radios) - [International Resources](https://support.electrohome.com/s/international-resources?hsLang=en) - [Videos](https://support.electrohome.com/s/videos?hsLang=en) - [General Information](https://support.electrohome.com/s/general-information?hsLang=en) - [Store Policies](https://support.electrohome.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Returns & Warranty](https://support.electrohome.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#returns-warranty) - [Billing & Payment](https://support.electrohome.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#billing-payment) - [Shipping](https://support.electrohome.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#shipping) - ABOUT US - [Our Story](https://www.electrohome.com/our-story/) - [Electrohome Blog](https://www.electrohome.com/blog/) - [Professional Reviews](https://www.electrohome.com/blog/category/professional-reviews/) - [Contests & Giveaways](https://www.electrohome.com/contests-giveaways/) - [Community & Environment](https://www.electrohome.com/nyrius-environmental-sustainability/) - PRODUCTS - [Record Players](https://www.electrohome.com/record-players) - [Powered Bookshelf Speakers](https://www.electrohome.com/powered-bookshelf-speakers) - [Accessories](https://www.electrohome.com/accessories) - [Deals and Special Offers](https://www.electrohome.com/deals-and-special-offers) - [Extended Warranty](https://www.electrohome.com/extended-warranty) - [Discontinued](https://www.electrohome.com/discontinued) - CUSTOMER SERVICE - [Support Center](https://support.electrohome.com/s/) - [Contact Us](https://support.electrohome.com/s/kb-tickets/new) - [My Account](https://www.electrohome.com/customer/account) - [30 Day Risk Free in Home Trial](https://www.electrohome.com/30-day-risk-free-in-home-trial) - [Nyrius Policies](https://www.electrohome.com/store-policies) - [Media Inquiries](https://www.electrohome.com/media-inquiries) - [Bulk Purchases](https://www.electrohome.com/bulkpurchases) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.electrohome.com/privacy-policy/) - [Register your Product](https://www.electrohome.com/registration/) - [Legal](https://www.electrohome.com/legal/) © 2026 Electrohome.
