Connecting to a Turntable

TUK features a phono input for use with turntables that do not contain built-in pre-amps.
1.  While the speakers are in standby or OFF, plug your turntable’s audio cables into the 

right and left PHONO input of TUK. If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the 

GND post of TUK.

2.  Turn on or wake the speakers and select the PHONO input using the TUK remote’s input 

button. You can also cycle through inputs by pressing the knob on the front of TUK.

After you adjust the volume on the speakers you should hear the audio from your turntable 

being played through the speakers. If you do not hear any audio, refer to the Audio 

Troubleshooting Guide.

ATTENTION 

Some turntables include a built-in Phono Pre-Amp. If your turntable has a built in Phono Pre-Amp, DO 

NOT use the PHONO input. Doing so will void your warranty and could cause severe damage to your 

speakers. 

Connecting to a Smart Home Device

TUK features an RCA input, optical input, and Bluetooth to cover all connection methods a 

smart home device may utilize. Please note the following steps are a general overview - the 

actual procedure will vary depending on device.
1.  Setup your smart home device using the manufacturer's instructions or app. Ensure it is 

working correctly before trying to connect it to TUK.

2.  If your smart home device has an audio output, plug one end of the required cable into 

the device and the other into TUK. An RCA to 3.5mm cable is included but you may need 

an RCA cable or optical cable depending on device.

3.  If your smart home device only has Bluetooth, refer to the smart home device’s 

instructions or app to complete Bluetooth setup.

4.  Turn ON or wake TUK and select the input that your smart home device is connected to 

using the TUK remote’s Input button. You can also cycle through inputs by pressing the 

knob on the front of TUK.

After you adjust the volume on the speakers, you should hear the audio from your smart 

home device being played through the speakers. You have the option to disable the automatic 

power down feature on TUK to prevent the speakers from going into standby so you don’t 

miss any notifications or prompts (see Pg. 14).

If you’d like the speakers to automatically power down while your smart home device is not 

in use you may want to enable the wake up sound on your smart home device. TUK takes 

several seconds to wake up when it detects audio. Enabling a wake up sound will give the 

speakers a head start before audio begins streaming from your smart home device. Refer to 

your smart home device’s manual for instructions on how to enable the wake up sound.
