What cables work with these ports?

dangermocha · Feb 15, 2016

Hello, I've been going through some old stuff and I found a set of Infinity SS 2001 bookshelf speakers, there were no cables with them. I figured that I could use the speakers with my Audio-Technica AT-LP120 turntable, but upon looking at the back of the speakers, I couldn't recognize the types of ports on the back. I'm not very experienced with sound systems, can anyone tell me what cables I need to use these speakers with my turntable?

Hi,
For speakers you just connect the wires, by pressing the tab and inserting the wire. No adapter/connector needed.
However, I wasn't able to find an audio port out on the turntable, but I might be wrong.

Those speakers require standard speaker wire. Two bare copper wires. They require an amplifier to be able to hear anything. A turntable is just the opposite. It has such a low output signal that it requires an EXTRA amplifier to connect to a standard receiver. Some older home stereos had the extra amplifier built in. Since turntables have become rare, most home stereo units don't have turntable compatible inputs. You have to purchase and extra amplifier for a turntable most of the time today.
