Operation

Playback

There are 4 ways to listen to your vinyl records with Premier LP:

1. You can simply listen to your music using Premier LP's internal speakers.
2. You can connect Premier LP to a Bluetooth speaker. See the section Pairing Premier LP to a Bluetooth Speaker for details.
3. If you prefer to use your own stereo speakers, you can connect Premier LP's RCA outputs to a stereo system or to powered speakers. Do not connect them to phono-level inputs; Premier LP's RCA outputs are line-level and could damage a device with phono-level inputs. Any other standard input type, such as CD, Aux In, or Tape is acceptable.
4. You can listen through your computer speakers or with headphones connected to your computer, once your computer soundcard's input device has been set to USB PnP Audio Device or USB Audio Device, depending on your Windows operating system (USB PnP Audio Device on macOS) and that you are record-monitoring the audio using EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter or similar software (Premier LP cannot be used as a playback device for your computer's audio). See the section Setting Your Computer's Soundcard as the Default Playback Device for details on how to configure sound playback.

Note (for European models only): Premier LP will automatically power off after 10 minutes if no audio is playing.
