    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does this turntable have built in speakers?

    Fluance turntables do not include built in speakers.
    To use a Fluance turntable, connect it to a home theater receiver or amplifier for use with passive speakers, or connect it to a set of powered speakers such as the Ai40 Powered Bookshelf Speakers.
    If your receiver or speakers do not have a specific PHONO input or integrated preamp, RT80 and RT81 both include an internal preamp for quick and easy setup.

    Do I need an amplifier for this turntable?

    An amplifier is only needed if you’re connecting the turntable to passive speakers such as the Signature Series Bookshelf Surround Speakers.

    If you’re looking for an option without a separate amplifier, the Ai40 Powered Bookshelf speakers fit the bill.

    With the Ai40, all you need to do is connect the included RCA cables to the speakers, turn on the internal pre-amp and you’re ready to listen to the music the way it was meant to be heard.

    When do I use the turntable’s built in preamp?

    If you’re using an amplifier without a phono input, or some powered speakers such as our Ai40 model, you will need to use the preamp by sliding the switch to the “LINE” position.

    Can I install a different cartridge on this turntable?

    The tonearm of the RT80 and RT81 model turntables is compatible with cartridges from 3.5 grams to 6.5 grams in weight.
