willsnyder Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi,total n00b to speakers, wires, adapters, etc. Purchased an Audio Technica AT-PL60 turntable which has male RCA plugs. Came across a pair of speakers with only speaker wire in the back, so I need an adapter. I found this:http://www.abt.com/product/47013/Kicker-09ZISL.html?utm_source=scfroogle&utm_medium=sc&utm_campaign=frooglewhich looks perfect, EXCEPT it's got two male adapters, and I need two females. Can someone help me find an speaker wire>rca female adapter??Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Welcome Noob Can you explain exactly what you are trying to do? I don't know what kind of adapter that is, but it's for a car. To make your turntable play through your speakers, you need an amplifier (or receiver). The TT plugs into the amp, then you run speaker wires from amp to speakers.What speakers are you using?That particular TT will also plug into a computer via USB and you can play it through your computer speakers.An advantage to the Audio Technica AT-PL60 is that it has a built-in phono pre-amp, so you can use it with an amp that only has an "Aux" input. Most TTs have to be fed into a Phono input.Does this help?Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
