Connect Dual pick up with USB to Beocenter 9500

[Pluisje]

hello all, I have full functioning beocenter 9500 and would like to connect a Dual DT210-1 turntable to it. The connection of the turntable is a standard USB plug. How do I, can I, connect them together?

Hi,

If your Turntable is this one :

you need a RCA to DIN adapter like this

to connect the Dual to the Phono input of the Beocenter.

My guess is that the Turntable’s switch should be placed on the Phono setting. (check on the user guide).

If you are seeking high quality cables, I recommand Sound Heavenly, who sponsors this site.

Thank you, Yann.

It is that connection but it also has a USB connector. Can I use that as well?

Just get the RCA-to-DIN cable and plug into the RCA connectors on the turntable.  Analog-analog-analog. The switch mentioned above lets you use it with either a Phono input or an Aux input, i.e. it has a built-in, switchable, pre-amp/RIAA.  Yes, the turntable does have a USB connector, for its built-in analog-to-digital converter!  You would use that to digitise your records, when connected to a computer.  But when connecting to the 9500?  You would need a DAC to convert that USB *back* to analog!  Oh, and the cables mentioned too!  Uhh,… No.

I did not mention USB because, as Trackbeo stated, USB is meant for connexion to a PC in order to digitize LPs.

The best (and economical) solution is the analog way.

According to the switch position, you can connect the Dual to the phono input (Phono position) or Aux / Tape 2 inputs (Line position).
