Why is the volume low on my turntable?

If you find the audio volume too low while listening to your turntable, one of the below scenarios may be the cause:

1. There are no speakers connected to the turntable, or the turntable is connected to passive speakers without an amplifier. 
   • Fluance Turntables do not have internal speakers, you will need to connect the turntable to speakers or a receiver using the included RCA cables. Below are images of common speaker setups with our turntables.
   • A preamp will not power passive speakers, an amplifier will still be required.
   • Powered speakers:
     • Ai41 Powered 5" Stereo Bookshelf Speakers
     • Ai61 Powered 6.5" Stereo Bookshelf Speakers
     • Ai81 Elite Powered Floorstanding Tower Speakers
     • Ri71 Reference Stereo Powered Bookshelf Speakers
     • Ri91 Reference Stereo Powered Tower Speakers
       
   • Passive speakers (amplifier or receiver required): 
     • Elite High Definition 2-Way Bookshelf Surround Sound Speakers
     • Reference High Performance 2-Way Bookshelf and Surround Speakers
     • Signature HiFi 2-Way Bookshelf Surround Sound Speakers
       
         
2. RT80/RT81/RT81+ - The built-in preamp is not enabled. To enable the preamp, slide the switch on the back of the turntable to the LINE position.
3. RT82, RT83, RT84, RT85 - External preamp is required. If your receiver has a Phono input, it may have a preamp built in. connect your preamp to a different input to avoid distorted audio.
