• Can I connect a turntable directly to powered speakers?
  Only if the powered speaker includes a dedicated phono input or you use a separate phono preamplifier. Most powered speakers accept only line-level inputs. Check specifications before purchasing. A turntable with a built-in preamp (such as most Dual models) can connect to any line-level input on powered speakers.
