Question

I will be broadcasting a radio show on WRBDRadio.com and am planning on spinning vinyl on a Technics SL q2. I do have analog Nikko EQ, Pre-amp and Amplifier. How do I properly connect the turtable to my Presonus Studiolive 16.4.2?

Answer 1

You need to make sure you connect the turntable to the Nikko preamp first and not directly to the Studiolive tape input. Phono levels are much diferent than tape/line levels, and require a phono preamp. If you wanted to EQ for some reason, you would hook Technics to Nikko pre to Nikko EQ to Studiolive tape in. This is assuming the Nikko preamp has a phono input.

Answer 2

Connect the analog rca males into the tape in of the mixer. You will have no EQ but you will have audio. If you want EQ get a rca to 1/4" or xlr adapter then connect that into mic/line inputs or even the aux in. It may or may not work or work well but its a start.
