4. Äänijärjestelmään kytkeminen

The RT81 features a built-in Texas Instruments preamp, offering flexibility in connection options.

  • Using Built-in Preamp: Set the PHONO/LINE switch on the back of the turntable to LINJA. Connect the RCA cables from the turntable's AUDIO OUTPUT to any available line-level input (e.g., AUX, CD) on your amplifier or powered speakers. The ground wire is not needed in this configuration.
  • Using External Preamp: Set the PHONO/LINE switch on the back of the turntable to PUHELIN. Connect the RCA cables from the turntable's AUDIO OUTPUT to the PHONO input on your external preamp or receiver. Connect the ground wire from the turntable's ground post to the ground terminal on your external preamp/vastaanotin.
