Alot of headunits have RCA aux inputs, so you have the turntables plugged in the mixer, then the mixer plugged into the aux inputs.

Just make sure you're aware of the type of output the turntables produce. A lot of turntables have a "phono" level output, which is much different than an "RCA" style output that a tape deck or cd player will have. If the record player has that "phono" style output, you'll need a pre-amp that's made to convert that signal to an RCA style that your head unit can accept.

Thats what a dj mixer is for. I doubt they were playing beats and freestyling without one.
