Turntable has low audio when using RCA output

[turnhelp]

Hey guys

I recently bought a turntable, using the USB-B output to my PC works well and the audio seems fine when playing a record. But when I try to use the RCA output to my stereo the audio seems very low and very off in general, especially the vocals. Any idea what the problem could be?

If your turntable has a built in phono preamp that both amplifies and applies RIAA EQ then you have turn it on and connect it to any line level input on your stereo. If it doesn't have a built in phono preamp then you need to have one in your stereo or buy an external one.
