Yes, you can connect a turntable to the Bose Wave Music System III, but there are a few things to consider:
1. Input Requirement
- The Bose Wave Music System III has a 3.5mm AUX input (on the back).
- Your turntable must have either:
- A built-in phono preamp (line-out) or
- A separate phono preamp to boost the signal to line level.
If Your Turntable Has a Built-in Preamp
- Use an RCA-to-3.5mm cable (RCA from the turntable, 3.5mm into the Bose AUX input).
- You’ll need a phono preamp (to amplify the signal).
- Connect the turntable to the preamp via RCA cables.
- Then, connect the preamp to the Bose AUX input using an RCA-to-3.5mm cable.
- After connecting the turntable, press the AUX button on the Bose remote to switch to the turntable audio.
