- ION Audio USB Turntables make it incredibly easy to record your vinyl collection digitally to your computer. With the included EZ Vinyl/Tape recorder software for Windows and Mac, recording your collection digitally is as easy as a few clicks of the mouse.
Sometimes however, you just want to listen to your vinyl, without the need to record it or install extra software.
In this setup article, we'll walk you though how to easily listen to records playing back on your ION USB Turntable through the speakers on your Windows or Mac computer without installing any additional software.
The instructions in this guide apply to all ION USB Turntables, not just the model pictured to the right.

a THOUSAND THANK YOUS for this. Got a usb turntable and couldn’t figure it out.
THANK YOU! This turntable has gathered dust for 8 years, and was about to take a trip to the Goodwill. I am SO excited that it's working now through quicktime and then from there through a nice bluetooth speaker.
Thank you SO MUCH for making this so easy to follow, you've got me using my turn table even though my old speakers kicked the bucket! :)
AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! You don't know how happy I am you took the time to make this quick and simple video...merci mon ami !
Thanks for the video. After AudioTechnica killed the instruction page that seemingly everyone was using it took me a while to find this set of instructions again.
Thanks, you answered a question that none of the people at microcenter knew.
Thank you........... your instructions were perfect! I'm so thankful for people who take time to make these tutorial videos. Thanks, once again.
Amazing, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Your video is accurate, extremely helpful and works. I can now record my vinyl to my PC AND be able to hear it while doing so. This may take some time so my wife and kids may not see me for a few weeks !!!!! THANKS A MILLION!
Thanks for this video. Quick Player worked perfectly for a 2007 ION (thrift store find) after multiple other recommended suggestions for playing (not recording) through a Mac failed.
I could really not thank you enough for this such an easy beautiful solution
THANK YOU! I have been searching for this video and it has been a struggle for something that (I suppose) is straight forward but not intuitive. Currently enjoying Prince on loudspeaker! xoxo
Thank you soooo much!! Couldn't figure out for the life of me why I couldn't get any sound until I found your video!! 👍🏻😃
Thanks, doing this on a Mac, exactly what I needed.
Thank you so much for this.Saved alot of time, aggravation and cash .
Yes, buddy! Thanks a million! This was driving me nuts and you fixed it for me! Thank you!
Thank you for making it so simple!
Thank you very much for this. I just got a USB turntable in the mail and set it up , was wondering if I could just PLAY records without the software that came with the turntable. This is so simple , but great info. Thanks again.
This was great info - thanks very much for the video. One thing I noticed with my set-up, though, was that the recording device properties (on the advanced tab) were set to single channel so I only got my speaker output in mono when first using the turntable with the new settings. So I changed them to a 2-channel value (the highest quality one) and hey presto everything came through in stereo!
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
yo thanks a lot worked like a charm! Using quicktime on mac 2021
It was so easy. Thanks for the tips
Thank you for the great info. I just pulled my Ion Profile Pro out of the mothballs and surprising there website was still active. Downloaded the windows software and ran the program and it told me I had to have the Apple ITunes software installed first. I remember years ago I never needed ITunes. Well I ended up changing out the USB cable and the audio drivers installed without a hitch.
thank you so much! ive had my record player for quite some time, but bought a bluetooth speaker teo hours ago and was afraid it was useless in this situation. connected my player to my laptop and then, using the very same sound panel, managed to connect the speakers. enjoying myself right now and living to the fullest. thanks again!
Do you know if this works on windows 10? :)
@@spunkwipe2i231 hi! it does, i have windows 10. you do the exact same thing - open sound panel, look at all the devices, then double click on the record thing (mine was called a microphone USB something). then make sure to set your computer (bluetooth speaker in my case) as a speaker
@@imsorry6767 Thank you so much, ill try and get it working, have a good one :)
Thanks this helped me a LOT
incredibly helpful, thank you
thanks worked great
THANK YOU! Thank you very much Sir.
This is a great video, because I'm thinking about getting one to use to play records into a sample software like Abelton live or Logic pro X then play the sounds back from my Mac & Akai MPD26 drum pad
Thanx NoteRepeat. Pulled It Out The Other 2 Play @ Work & Didnt Want 2 Download Any Software 2 Do It.
Glad it helped!
god spent me 1 hr before I got here thanks noterepeat!
Amazing infos thank you a lot ! Very useful
Thank you! You solved my frustration of not getting my new record player to work
Thank you !
This is so cool
great tutorial
nice choice of tunes comrade
Thanks, although this information should have been made obvious right on the opening of the box.
Thanks!
Awesome thank you!
1:56 "Click this down arrow next to the window that opens."
Not trying to be funny, I couldn't really detect exactly what was being said, and I was having a hard time seeing what he was doing. Figured I can't be the only one of seven billion other people that had to adjust. That being said, this tip is amazing because the ION software is not working on my MacBook Pro on macOS Catalina. Thank you∞!
thank you help a lot
I have all of my favorite
albums on the computer.
I found your tutorial to be confusing, but I was able to figure out where Line was located and how to eventually reroute the sound to my headphones after about 5 minutes of fooling around.
Thank you!!!!!
Thanks dude thanks
Much appreciated
Elvis Costello!!! Great choice
What do you click the checkbox on? What does it say?
Merci !!!!!!!
I am trying to get mine to work properly-I believe I have followed set up instructions-there is a humming sound i cannot get rid of-thoughts?
Can u connect this turntabel directly to your home speaker system
Hi there! I have a Grausch briefcase turntable which has inbuilt speakers. I am trying to figure out how to transfer the sound from the vinyl into my computer by connecting different cables. Perhaps you may know why it may not be working? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hazel
Thank you!!! Audacity was constantly giving me a headache..terrible software!
what is the sound quality like thro a stereo system???
Getting a hum between songs. Know of anyway to fix this. Thanks!
and now where's the scratching demo?
This video is really helpful! But with what cables did you connect the turntable to the computer? I just got a Ion compact lp and I am having problems with connecting it to speakers. I can hear the music playing but really low. Any tips on what could it be? Thank you very much!
To connect the turntable to the computer, we're just using a single USB cable. The turntable needle will make a low (mouse level) sound from the mechanical movement of the needle across the record. That may be what you're hearing.
THANK YOU!!! I finally got to make my ION Max LP work although only on my Mac. @noterepeat my turntable built in speakers still don't work//have a very faint sound - any idea what could be wrong?
I hooked up speakers using the RCA cables and it won't play.
I am new to the vinyl community and I have a question about using this record player. I was wondering if this can be set up to a preamp and then played through the computer? I'm not satisfied with the quality coming directly through my computer. Any help would be appreciated!
The way it comes from the factory you don't need a pre amp since it's using a ceramic needle. If you upgrade the cartridge to a magnetic one then you would need the pre amp
can you just plug the usb into like a phone charger brick and you can play it without a PC?
so if i have , lets say, audio technica at60lp and my pc, i wob't need an amp, right?
Ive set up my usb ion turntable but only get a mono sound coming out. Every record is like this, they are all stereo records. I don't know what is causing it and cannot seem to find any solutions online??
Works. But its in mono. Only thru one speaker.
does anybody know how to stop it from clipping? there's no volume control on the Ion and I don't seem to be able to change the input gain on Quicktime (or Logic Pro X)
very good if you are in to teck stuff i'm not , would have been better to show your lap top screen but thanks for your help .
Thank you sooo much! The original manual is not clear at all(
anyway thx!
DOES THIS ALSO WORK WITH AUDIOTECHNICA???????
Song from record?
I would doubt that my AT-LP60-USB doesn't have the ability to do that.
Do ion turntable scratch your records
Can you stream it through playback software to Chromecast audio?Has anybody tried streaming it?
Can you scratch with it?
this didnt work for me! i pressed apply and there was no change? is there anyway you can assist me...
The USB on mine isn't working?
Is this possible with any turntable that is able to connect to a computer via USB?
if it has the USB port installed on the turntable. Most modern turntables should have them.
I still can't get this to work. Is it possible that the original Ion is not compatible with Windows 10? It used to work years ago, possibly using an older PC.
If you figure this out let me know, I have Windows 10 and I am having same issue :/
Do you lose sound quality like this or does it asc as if its any other aodio jack if you do this with headphones :P
If you have an option to connect the turntable to a high quality audio system or set of speakers directly, that's the best. Generally, the shorter the signal path, the better. Some people just want to use their built-in or existing computer speakers, and this is a great method for that. If you have good external speakers that always are connected to your computer, but they don't have a spare audio input that you can connect a turntable to directly, this could be a good option too, and would let you send any computer output, MP3s, Pandora, Sound Cloud etc, from the computer, or play records...all through the same set of speakers.
i try those steps but its not working when i conect the usb from my ION TURNTABLE cant listen it there are another way i have window 10 in my dell laptop before i can listen the turntable but i ddont know why not now even when software the vinyl cant listen it from laptop :( HELP
Win10 kinda screwed things up for audio USB in. Go to Settings-Privacy-USB mic and turn on all apps for the USB mic. Don't know why Microsoft in Win10 decided to block USB mic in. Win7 was fine.
when i use this the needle just skips and runs into the middle. any idea how to make sure that doesn't happen?
A. If you have an ION turntable that is the same or similar to the one we're using in the video, the tracking force of the tone arm/stylus is preset at the factory. On a turntable like this, if you experience unusual skipping, it generally means either...
1. Your stylus (needle) is broken and can't track in the groove. This is a wear-and-tear, user-replaceable item. Contact the manufacturer or a turntable accessories retailer to purchase a replacement. Or, it means...
2. The tonearm is broken, and is not providing the correct downward pressure on the stylus (contact the manufacturer for service options).
B. On the other hand, if you have a turntable whose tonearm is user adjustable (i.e. it has visible settings or a movable counterweight), then the skipping is due to either...
1. The tonearm is not correctly adjusted to put the appropriate downward pressure on the stylus. Here's a general video for that: th-cam.com/video/ynIDWgo2lpo/w-d-xo.htmlm28s
2. The stylus could also be broken, but this is less likely than the tone arm not being set correctly. In this case, you should be able to fix it yourself.
I just still get hissing and feed back and cant hear the vinyl.
Boom Bap Original same bro
My software does not go directly to the intunes converter. How do I add that feature?
iTunes no longer allows other applications to interact with it directly. This means that we can't add your new recording directly to your iTunes library. However, adding a song, or an entire folder of songs to iTunes is as easy as drag-and-drop...just 2 clicks. Here's a walkthrough: th-cam.com/video/8MvX3VpxvV4/w-d-xo.htmlm53s
How do I convert a record album to a CD with this machine
+Rose McCrumb Convert the LP into your computer using the included EZ converter software. Once you've created an audio file on your computer you can burn a CD. 'How to burn a CD' is the same whether or not you have this turntable...as long as you have a collection of audio files on your computer to start with. If you google 'how to burn an audio cd on windows 10' (or whatever version of Windows you have), you'll get a bunch of complete walkthroughs right away.
There is no "Listen" tab...
can i pair this with bluetooth speakers?
yes that's what it's made for
thank you , ty ty, lol
What if the USB device doesn't appear under Recording in Windows?
+EggsOverGreasy Try the suggestions in our troubleshooting article here: www.noterepeat.com/articles/pc-troubleshooting/95-troubleshooting-class-compliant-usb-computer-peripherals
after doing this my turntable proceeded to play from the actual device and not from my computer. i cant hear anything, what am i doing wrong?
The turntable we used in this example has no built-in speakers of its own. Even with no speakers, you'll be able to hear the faint sound of the music coming directly off the needle itself (interesting, but not helpful I know).
If your turntable has speakers built-in, you may need to turn them down. There may be a volume knob somewhere on your turntable to do this.
Now, on your computer...
If you followed along with the video exactly, and made the settings we did, your computer speakers should be setup to playback any sound coming in from a connected USB audio device.
This could be thrown off if you have other USB devices (like USB speakers or headphones) connected to your computer. USB audio devices like turntables, speakers, headphones etc, all show up to your computer as the same generic thing. Then, when we go and try to select one or the other in the playback settings, it can be confusing as to whether we're picking the right one since they all have similar names. Try disconnecting any other USB devices from your computer (except keyboard and mouse) and going through the settings again.
Less likely, but also possible...there could be something wrong with the USB Cable, USB Port, or your computer's built-in USB device drivers.

Change Output, under the box you have to select.
@@MetalRomain hi under of what box ?
Does this mean the music will become digitalized?
+Danielle Jacobs The setup shown in this video is just for a quick and easy listen through your computer speakers. You can definitely record the music into your computer too. The best way to record your records is to use the free program ION offers called EZ Vinyl Converter for Mac and Windows. This can be found on ION's website at www.ionaudio.com/ezvc
does playing through a USB digitize the sound, losing the superior quality of the record?
GREAT question!
thanks for the answer very informative! but i was under the impression that the analog sound has a greater range due to the compression of digital music; giving vinyl the ability to play back more souds than digital. is this not true or not important?
Vinyl audio, no matter what the fans claim, is not superior to digital. The 'warmth' that people speak of is really just distortion inherent in the format. As to compression, there isn't any on a CD worth mentioning, and in say bass heavy music, CDs are able to reproduce frequency ranges that cannot be pressed to vinyl. Much of the purist argument falls apart on so many levels, most music today is recorded digitally and even in wholly analogue recordings, pressing plants have fed recordings through a digital phase at some point in their process since the '80s. Some early CDs did have poor sound, often due to being knocked out quickly using limited analogue masters. What it comes down to is how well any recording is recorded, produced and mastered. Sometimes a special vinyl edition may receive special attention, but that's rare.
Turntables like the Ion range are for convenience, or to cheaply extract digital recordings of your old vinyl, not hi-fi. If you are on a budget, buy the best CD player that you can afford. If you prefer downloads, always get the flac (a lossless format) or wav options. You can always convert to mp3 or AAC for your portable. Some downloads come in higher definition audio than CDs, but the value of this is debatable. I have a few and my equipment is more than capable of playing it back, but even the most trained ears in the world can't tell the difference.
If you just want vinyl as a fashion thing, the more you spend, the better the sound, but unless you are willing to spend hundreds on a turntable and a similar or greater amount on an amp or speakers, digital will always give you a far truer sound. Vinyl audio is a specific aesthetic that you can really only appreciate when you spend a great deal of money. That said, I've bought about 60 vinyl records in the last year. Vinyl is cool. I haven't played a single one of them, as they all came with either a download, or a CD. I enjoy the physical aesthetic of vinyl, but have no interest in playing them. I keep my vinyl in mint condition, show respect to the artists by paying over the odds to hopefully fund future recordings, while streaming all my music to my hi-fi. Also, should a holocaust ever come, I reckon I could convert my old wind-up gramophone to just about play my records before I could ever rebuild the power infrastructure.
still not playing through computer :/
Not working for me! EZ Vinyl/Tape Convertor wont recognise player and PC speakers on Win 10 wont recogise it
Still not working? Is it showing up in device manager?
You sound like Rick Rubin!
Theres no listen tab
no such thing "sound control panel" in windows 10
Dosnt work for me
both dont work for me :P
Can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to listen to music downloaded from vinyl when you could just listen to streaming/downloaded music websites? It compresses the clarity of the music anyways. I don't want sacrifice the clarity of vinyl simply for convenience.
didn't work
If F'n makes you install F'n Itunes.... F that.... I don't want anything F'n spyware Itune.... You can not bypass it, you have to install it. So I threw it away. F ION to hell... I want opensource everything. Sold out piece of crap
liar this does not work
