That lets you connect it either to a phono input or directly to a line input or active speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe straight, statically balanced tonearm carries a pre-mounted MM cartridge – unpack, adjust the counterweight, start spinning. The external DC power supply keeps interference away from the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStraight talk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TT-S303 is an honest entry-to-mid-range deck with the convenience of a built-in phono stage. Sonically it performs best when you bypass the internal phono preamp and use an external one – there's audibly more on offer that way. If you plan to upgrade, factor that in. Handling and tonearm are simple, but reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: belt-drive turntable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive: DC motor, external power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds: 33⅓ and 45 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWow \u0026amp; flutter: 0.2%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter: die-cast aluminium, Ø 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonearm: straight, statically balanced; effective length 223.5 mm; overhang 19 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge: MM, pre-mounted (tracking force 3.5 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono preamp: built-in, switchable phono\/line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: ≥ 67 dB (A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: RCA (stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 450 × 136 × 368 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDo I need a phono input on my amplifier?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Thanks to the switchable phono preamp, you can connect the TT-S303 to a line input or to active speakers as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes it come with a cartridge?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, an MM cartridge is pre-mounted.
