Can I plug headphones/computer speakers into this & listen to my record player without needing a receiver? I don't mind converting RCA to stereo jack.

If your "record player" is a "vinyl" turntable (that plays LP 33rpm vinyl records), its usually has a "phono" output, i.e. 2 RCA jacks and a low power signal. You connect that output to the "PREAMP INPUT" 2 RCA on back of DJPRE II. Then, using a 2 RCA male - 1 3.5mm plug cable, connecting the DJPRE II to your headphones or computer speakers should work OK.

AFelectrngineer already answered your question, but I was also going to recommend the ART USB Phono Plus. Even though you stated that you don't need the USB capability, the USB Phono Plus would probably be your best bet if you want to be able to plug in a set of headphones without having to do some electronic modifications to the unit. And if you do decide to use the USB capability, it'll probably sound better than your turntable's built-in preamp.

FYI - Impedance matching is the resistive value measured in Ohms. For instance, most speakers have an impedance value of either 4 or 8 Ohms. Headphones can have an impedance value of up to 600 Ohms. Improper impedance mismatching can cause anything from poor quality sound to irreversible equipment damage/failure. Experiment at your own risk or get help from a friend that understands these electronic principles.

I have not tried hooking RCA jacks to headphones to the ART DJPRE II using an adapter. If impedance matching becomes an issue, you could have problems. You might want to take a look at the ART USB Phono Plus that already has built in headphone output jack as well as other connection options. I know I really love my ART DJPRE II and if the ART USB Phono Plus is the next step up, it should work great.

You could just skip this altogether and use the headphone out to the RCA or your receiver. This item only works with the DM port

This product converts a digital (usb, optical, coax) signal to analog (rca) with minimal volume output. There is no headphone jack. Output should be fed to something with amplification.

Can I hook up this cassette player to my Sony stereo receiver & just listen to my tapes?

You need to find the output of the turntable, then something that will convert it to av so you can plug it into the reciever. I use my phone exchange with this setup and bought a headphone to stereo av cable and that works.

Hi Ann Maxwell,No, you need an amplifier or a receiver to output audio. Thanks. >Joffrey

This jack is for a digital signal, not an analog stereo signal. So it's not going to work for you the way you would want. Get a splitter, headphone port to red & white Rca.

Not directly. I have my speakers connected to a stereo receiver and have a line from my computer to the receiver. One could also invest in a good DAC for better sound output and reproduction. I almost forgot to mention that they totally rock! Seriously, buy these!

Alas, no. I also have an old turntable, and there is no appropriate connection to the receiver.

Basically any receiver/amp will work with this unit as long as the inputs are RCA jacks and that's pretty much all of them. Here's how it breaks down. All turntables require a pre-amp before the signal goes to the main amplifier. Most modern receivers do not have a dedicated slot for turntables any longer. So most turntables include the pre-amp built in. The switch for the pre-amp is on the back of the Audio Technica. * So if your receiver has a setting for "Phonograph", "Phono" or "Turntable" you're good to go. Just switch the pre-amp Off on the back of the turntable. * If your receiver doesn't have a setting for "Phonograph", or one of the a fore mentioned, then turn the switch On. That's it. Simple. Just be aware that should you buy a receiver without a "Phonograph" input you will loose the slot for whatever peripheral should go there. In my case I use an Onkyo CR-315 Shelf Unit. I plug my Audio Tecnica into the "Dock" slot. This is to be used with a special docking device that allows you to plug in an iPod. I know longer have this device, so no harm no fowl. If however I did have this device and needed to use it, I would constantly be switching between these two devices on my receiver. So just make sure you have enough inputs to avoid this potential hassle. Really, the only thing you need to look for on a receiver is to make sure it excepts inputs through RCA jacks and again, that's pretty much the standard. As to brand, that's up to you as far as your needs and budget.

It only has the 3.5mm input jack. While you could get an adapter cable with the red/white RCA on one end and the 3.5mm plug on the other, you would still have an issue with the output level. Older stereos with a "phono" input had line level amplifiers, or preamps, on that input channel, because the sound level out of a record player was different than that of other devices. If this is not the case for yours, then an adapter cable will work for you, using the "portable" input.

If the receiver does not have a pre-amp section you will get almost no sound from the turntable. Yes, this will work. You will need to put the turntable RCA jacks into the phono input and plug the output from this box into a input into the back of the receiver (CD, line in, or aux or something similar to that) be sure to plug in the power cube and switch the button in the front to phono.

You will probably need a cable to pick up the RCA output on your turntable and terminates in a single 1/4" or XLR input for the speakers. I didn't notice an RCA input

Yes, with a headphone jack to RCA jack converter. You'll need to turn the mp3 player up all the way for the input signal to be strong enough. Depending on the quality of your receiver you'll likely get a small amount of hiss with your music (mostly noticed between songs and not so much during them).

Hi,You can use an XLR or 1/4 inch cable - its very easy ... just need the correct cable - it is maybe $3-7 for the cable - if your receiver has RCA outputs then you need a cable that's RCA on one side and 1/4 inch on the other.Please let me know if you have any other questions.My very best,JenniferMillennium Worldwide

You could use RCA out (red and white connectors) on your stereo receiver to the RCA input on the amp. Because it doesn't have speaker binding posts you can't use it to replace an amp in your system, per se, of course there are workarounds, but as a headphone amp for a CD, SACD, digital stream, etc., through your stereo receiver it should work beautifully. Hope that helps.~Christian

Yes and this product more than exceeded my expectations. You can hook up a turntable. It has a line in mini jack, so you'll only need a stereo mini-jack to RCA adapter. Mine has a turntable hooked up this way.
