Help! Can't get audio out of speaker

[Tacitus]

Hi guys

I got my partner a Sony PS-LX310BT turntable for Christmas last year and just recent got her a JBL 305p mkii speaker to upgrade the output quality.

I can't for the life of me get it to work however. The output on the turntable is RCA and I'm using an RCA to 1/4" adapter to plug it into the speaker. I'm connecting both the red and the white cable to the adapter and have tried both "line" and "phono" settings on the turntable. I had understood that the speaker was powered and so shouldn't need any extra kit.

What am I missing?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone

Nothing I've tried has worked - I have 1 speaker, the only output from the turntable is 2* RCA. I've tried using a 2* RCA - 1/4" adapter, as well as RCA - XLR to no avail. The turntable is set to line rather than phono. I just simply can't get it to work.
