How do I setup my new turntable?

There are several ways to setup and connect your new turntable – we can help find the right option!

The Simple Setup
As the name suggests – this is the simplest way to setup your new turntable. All you’ll need is your new Orbit turntable with a built-in preamp and powered speakers. Connect your Orbit to your speaker’s RCA or 3.5mm AUX input using the included cables and rock on!

The Traditional Setup
If you already have a stereo receiver and passive speakers, the traditional setup is likely the option for you. First, connect your Orbit to your stereo receiver w/ dedicated phono input. Next, connect your stereo receiver to your passive speakers using speaker wires. In this scenario, the receiver contains both the phono preamp and the power amp to drive the passive speakers.

The Modular Setup
The modular setup is probably the right setup for you if you have an amplifier without a dedicated phono input. In this scenario, you’ll connect your Orbitto an external phono preamp which you’ll connect to a separate power amplifier. Your passive speakers will connect to the power amplifier.
