Old 2-pin DIN speakers not working.

Hello,
I had the opportunity to acquire an old turntable (KONTACT C5 Dual 1225) with two female 5-pin DIN outputs, four female 2-pin DIN outputs, and a jack output. I have two 2-pin DIN speakers with it. Unfortunately, the sound does not come out of the speakers when I connect them to the turntable. The sound from the turntable works, we can hear it when leaning in close to the vinyl. I tried testing the sound by connecting a 3.5mm jack cable to the 5-pin DIN ports without much success.
If anyone is knowledgeable and has any idea how to check if the speakers are not working or if the connection between the turntable and the ports is the problem, I would appreciate any good advice!
Thanks in advance, feel free to ask if you want more details.

    Hello.

    KONTACT C5 Dual 1225 no traces on the net. However, just Dual 1225 ==>



    If this is the one (manufactured in late 2003), I also couldn't find any photos of the rear connections. The 2-pin DIN plugs are obviously for the speakers. (flat 5 x 2.5 mm in the middle and round Ø 2 mm at the bottom)
    For the other 2 DINs with 5 pins, I think one is for an auxiliary input and the other for a recording output. As for the 3.5 mm jack, presumably for a stereo headphone input.

    If this isn't the model, please take a global photo of the sockets and give us a screenshot.

      Here is the photo of the turntable, it's a Dual 1225 with a C5 mixer on the right, I admit I don't know much about it.




      The 6 available ports (the 7th jack is on the mixer see first photo)



      Finally here is the speaker (there are 2 like this one).

      I would really like to get the speakers working, I don't know how to go about it.

      Thank you for your response.
