[Nitpicking Turntable Volume R41PM]

Welcome!

 

 

Guess your rca cables to both units being correct, is the speakers switch on phono and, does your turntable have a built-in

Phono preamp?

 If so, there is likely a switch there also to disable. Unlikely a moving cool cartridge stylus.

It should be loud enough unless you like it loud. The forum. 75 db?

Hi! Thank you for your prompt response, and my apologies for my lack of one! Here is a picture of the back of the right speaker. It is hard to make out, but the switch is set to phono. I believe that my turntable does have a built in preamp. It has a “phono/line” switch, which is set to phono. I have also attached a decibel reading from a vinyl at full volume, taken from the chair where I normally sit while listening to music. I feel like Gojira “From Mars to Sirius” should rate a little higher than “normal conversation” but maybe that’s just me haha! Thank you for your time man.

So to preface - I am not an audiophile nor am I super knowledgeable about audio systems. My setup is relatively basic and budget friendly. I have an Audio Technica LPGO-BT turntable fed into a pair of R-41PM active speakers. Whenever I use Bluetooth, Auxiliary, or USB, these speakers get loud. Right where I want them in fact. Not so with the phono input. It is substantially quieter than the other inputs. I understand that vinyl by nature is a quieter format, but I feel as if I am missing out on some potential that these speakers have. My question is: is there anything I can do to optimize or add to my setup to access the volume I know these speakers are capable of? I really appreciate anyone’s thoughts, thank you!
