this is so helpful! thank you! I have a dj controller with only RCA out. do I just need RCA to XLR to go into a active speaker? I don't need an audio mixer?
Quick questions I have a dj controller Numark that has an rca output. I want to use two speakers one having rca :in and out" and the other only allow aux 3.5 "in and out". How would I go about having the controller set to both? Great video!
I know serato can split stems and assign to buttons and all… can we assign each instrument section to different outputs? Even if we use an audio interface to have 8 or 10 outputs? This would enable us to assign instruments to different speakers. Creating 3D audio. For live events
I have a set of passive mackie 410 subwoofers I’m trying to use with my set of passive Behringer speakers. What kind of audio mixer do I need? Also how would I direct low end to the sub and mids/ highs to the speakers? Is that what a crossover is for? I feel very lost lol please help I should also note that I’m using cdj1000s
May I ask which one would sound better between cable RCA to TS or RCA to XLR? cause my ddj flex 4 only have rca out but i want to best quality out of KRK monitor...Thank youu
I have two 1/4 on the back of my DJ controller. I need a cable to go to my powered monitor. The monitor has one 1/4" female input and one XLR female input. There is also "link output" male XLR connection.. The monitor is for my "Booth Speaker". I hope you can get me the right cable... 🤞
Is it possible to go from 1 dj controller, for example a DDJ flex 4 with RCA into another dj controller like an XDJ RX2 which would be inputted into either the AUX RCA or the Master RCA and from the XDJ RX2 it will go to the speakers via XLR master output?
Can you help? I’m using pioneer controller to Mackie woofer with RCA as my controller only takes those. But theN TRS from woofer to monitor L&R but I’m getting a loud noise with balanced cable 🤷🏽♂️ what am I doing wrong 😢
I have a Hercules impulse 200, and I’m doing my first outdoor set a month from now. I’m trying to figure out which speakers are compatible with that controller. Any suggestions help
Is it okay to connect the XLR output(s) from a DJ controller to the XLR input(s) of an external audio mixer? Or are the XLR inputs on an external mixer strictly for microphone use? I get confused, because some mixers (such as the new Mackie ProFX6v3+) have combination jacks that are labeled as "Mic/Line" while other mixers (such as the Allen & Heath Zedi 10) have XLR inputs labeled "Mic" and there's a separate line input placed underneath it.
Can anyone help with my question? I have a D class amplifier (2*50+100w) that has a aux (3.5mm) input. Can i use the booth (or master) RCA output of the controller to the aux input of amplifier? (With the adapter cable) *Asking because RCA usually is used only for signal,not power transfer, but not always...
I’ve just bought the Denon Prime 4+ controller, what is the best way to connect to a pair of Rokit 8 studio monitors? Sorry if the question is a little stupid but I’m new to powered speaker setups. Thank you if you can help.
My rekordbox software is compatible with the JBL speaker but not with many others. Does anybody know a good set of speakers including loudspeakers, that are compatible with rekordbox software, pioneer dj?
I have a XLR female to rca running from my 15 inch mackey thump to my controller its plugged in the mix out port but now I don't have any sound is this because it doesn't work as a option
I do not have a booth output on my dj controller, how do i use a mixer to get both booth and main outputs at a club with this issue? And what kind of mixer?
Given that if I DJ in mono and using two speakers, would it be alright to plug one of the XLR's to a PA mixer and still achieve the same amount of sound when using two XLR's?
If you use two speakers you should be using stereo because not only will the sound be unbalanced, it will sound lower. Once you disconnect the xlr from one of the speakers it won’t do much difference since you are already in mono.
The Radial ProAV2 has the right and left xlr outputs. The way I have my setup now, my first speaker connects to the other wirelessly. Do I need to run the "left xlr' output to my left speaker and the "right xlr" out to my right speaker? Or can I daisy chain them with one xlr cable coming from the Radial ProAV2?
I have 2 jbl party 1000 (input RCA or aux, output RCA) and 2 jbl party encore (input aux) How would you connect these to a dj controller (or external audio mixer) Kind regards
You can use long cables if you wish, but you risk static/interference. I would never perform at a live event with RCA connecting your DJ Controller to speakers. Eventually, you'll need to find a way to balance your signal (DI Box or Audio Mixer).
I have the ddj flx4 and have the krk 5 g4 with the s8.4 sub. Would I need an audio interface from the dj controller to run the sub and speakers I get told I do and I get told I don’t
I have the same set up. If I’m not misunderstood (I’m still trying to figure this out myself) you don’t need to have audio interface/DI box/mixer but you will want to use one because the flx4 only has rca outputs which causes unbalanced audio. You want to run your rca into one of these devices so that it turns it into a balanced signal.
I have the same setup, but the krks don't have a switch that will convert the mic level (coming from the DI) to a line level (going into a speaker). How would I feed the KRK's a balanced input if I'm using an unbalanced controller
Hello, I have 2 questions. I bought the Numark Mixstream Pro. This has 2 RCA unbalanced outputs and 2 balanced XLR outputs. I have 1 powered speaker, the Electro Voice ZLX 15BT. When I connect the controller and speaker with the RCA (controller) and jack (speaker) this sounds louder then a connection with an XLR cable (controller) and line 1 (speaker). How is this possible?? The connection with XLR sounds a little bit muted. The speaker also has 2 XLR line inputs. Should I use 2 XLR cables , 1 XLR cable left (controller) to line 1 (speaker) and 1 XLR right (controller) to line 2 (speaker)? Or is just 1 cable enough (from left or right (controller) to line 1? Many greetings from Belgium, Philippe
I need help. How to connect from Dj controller to a BOSE T 1 Tone match to a active speaker. Do I need to change mover? I got RCA output in my controller and I use RCA cable to one TS 1/4 , but the signal is very low. I a don’t know what i am doing wrong.
We touched on it in this video. RCA outputs are quiet (~14dB less volume than XLR or TRS), if you want to get "more volume", it's best to connect to an audio mixer before connecting to your speaker, this will give you the ability to turn it up more before getting to your speakers.
@@kettnercreative I did connect it to my Bose Tone match mixer but I still don’t get the best out of it. That’s the reason that makes me think tif I need another type of mixer?
Can I connect dj controller to my car stereo speakers with using a solar panel and a walkman cassette player to record my mixes. I have a mixer that I often use at work, could this mixer also be used too play music? I know it's great with cement mixing
its not balanced. just because its TRS doesn't automatically means its balanced. TRS are used in balanced connections, but not exclusively. It can just be a stereo unbalanced cable.
