Can element X2 and mini-i series work with vinyl turntables without phono pre-amp out

[Wei Cao]

Can element X2 and mini-i series work with a vinyl turntable without phono pre-amp output?

NO. The element X2/element X2 Pure/mini-i Pro 3/mini-i 3/mini-i Pro 4/mini-i 4 has no built-in phono pre-amp, it requires the vinyl turntable to have a built-in phono pre-amp, or add a separated phono pre-amp between the vinyl turntable and the Matrix device.
