Connecting a Turntable to a Play 5


Just a quick and probably obvious question .. I have a old Play 5 gen1 and before I purchase a Proj-ect T1 turntable I want to be sure they are compatible using a cable . Is this a simple thing to setup ?

 

All i have ever done is play Spotify through my Sonos speakers so haven't mixed it up much .

Does this Project T1 have a built in pre-amp? If so, you’re fine, just turn it on. If not, you’ll need to get an external Pyrex-amp and put it between the two.

Your profile doesn’t show any soundbars, but if your Play:5’s are used as surround speakers the line-in is disabled. Otherwise, as Bruce says, just connect from turntable to ’5 with a suitable cable. The ’5 needs a 3.5mm jack.
