Hello everyone. I have a question about how to connect AKAI MPC 2500 to a Turntable. How do I do this? Do I just connect the Turntable to a Studio Monitor and then connect the Studio Monitor to My MPC?

What turntable is it? Normally you should connect the turntable to either a DJ mixer or an audio interface then that into the MPC. From what I remember, the turntable signal is "hot". If your turntable has a ground wire then you need to hook that up to something too, this is why a DJ mixer is best since it has all that.

I'm thinking about going with this one.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60BK Fully Automatic Belt Driven Turntable - Black

It also has a Built-in Preamp.

Then How do I connect the Studio Monitors to my MPC? Do I just connect the Turntable directly to my MPC and the Studio Monitors and then Connect the Studio Monitors directly to my MPC?

Should I get a DJ Mixer to plug both my MPC and my Turntable? And at which Port On my MPC should I plug the Turntable/Studio Monitors to?

So if I connect the Turntable and Studio Monitors to my MPC like the way you told me to, will I be able to hear the sound from the Turntable?
