I recently bought some used Technics SL-1200MKIIs and can play a record fine and can hear it playing out of the table itself. But I can't hear it playing out of the mixer (I have tried 2 mixers - 1 used, 1 new). I can't hear anything through the headphones + speakers. I have both tables plugged into the Phono inputs on the mixer as well. Does anyone have any other suggestions that might help me? I'm sure it's an easy fix. It usually is.
The "phono" ins on the mixer probably expect to see the output of an outboard phono pre amp. The mixer's inputs are more than likely at line level and merely labeled "phono" for convenience.
I am only getting sound from the tables themselves. No sound is coming out of the mixer into the headphones or speakers. I'll look into the outboard phono pre amp. Thanks.
