While Electrohome turntables can be connected to our powered speakers using RCA cables, turntable made by other companies may require different connections. These connections vary depending on the make and model of the speaker and the best resource for help with connections is the manufacturer's user manual or support page. If your speaker does not have a phono input, or your turntable does not have a built in preamp, you will need to purchase an external preamp as well. **RCA cable**  ![](https://support.electrohome.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-May-06-2026-05-11-15-4807-PM.png?width=181&height=174&name=image-png-May-06-2026-05-11-15-4807-PM.png)  **3.5mm AUX cable (Line In)**  ![](https://support.electrohome.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-May-06-2026-05-11-23-1881-PM.png?width=151&height=207&name=image-png-May-06-2026-05-11-23-1881-PM.png)  **RCA to 3.5mm AUX cable** This may require a Line-in adapter for some speakers, often sold by the manufacturer.  ![](https://support.electrohome.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-May-06-2026-05-11-31-7980-PM.png?width=204&height=153&name=image-png-May-06-2026-05-11-31-7980-PM.png)  - [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.
