Thank you for this video. I really need a simple breakdown like this.

Great video-was trying to figure out how to connect my Teac Cassette deck-to my DJ Controller thank you

[theblockchaincandy]

Great video! I couldn't find anything that explains this as well as you did! Appreciate it!

Very helpful refresher. I have been out of the loop for a while old phono and cd dj. Bought a CDJ a few years back and had to transfer everything over from my old Gemini mixer. There were some connections I did not recognize for example, the combo XLR 1/4 connector. Thanks again lots of useful info.

I connected a hand-sized synth to the mic input of my mixer for a few minutes and then noticed that the right input was a line input... and it worked fine. Could I have already damaged my mic input or preamp during the few minutes I used the synth in there?

Very helpful video!
You have just earned my sub and deserve more subs!

Great video! I learned so much about the ins and outs of DJ controllers and mixers. This is definitely going to help me improve my skills. Thanks for sharing this information! #DJLifeHack #BeginnersGuide

I had my RCA connected to the Master Ports and then connected them to my Amplifier but had no sound coming through my speakers.

Will try some of this tomorrow. Problem I have is my pioneer flx6 sound isn't coming out very clear on my Sony mhcv7d speaker!! I can't do my stuff till I figure this out xx

I just got the RX3 and I am trying to figure out if I need an additional Receiver/audio mixer for the PA speakers? Im going to contact pioneer to verify but I was surprised when my Rockville SPGN128 12" Passive 1200W DJ PA Speaker ABS Lightweight Cabinet 8 Ohm showed up and there is no power cord for it. Im not sure if the RX3 can power the speakers as well or if an additional audio mixer will be required.

Does the RX3 have phantom power for mic inputs?

Can you give advice on good Dmx cables that are balanced

Really good video and very informative. I am trying to connect my new external mixer to my set up but I don’t know how to do this. My studio set up is KRK Rokit speakers connected into my SX2 controller. I have a TRS cable. Does this connect into the master socket of my controller into the main Out L and R on my external mixer? Once I’ve connected my mic into the external mixer I am not getting any sound from the speakers when I talk.

Thanks for the great video and explanation mate. So here's my question. If I want to play just with my XDJ-RX2 without using a Rekordbox but just power source electricity cable, USB sticks and my headphones connected to the XDJ-RX2, do I need only speakers XLR or RCA and then I will be able to mix normally? Thanks in advance.

I have rca on my output. And my monitors have rca, trs and xlr.. What kind of cable is the best for this option? 🤔

[lowerclass-eqmu]

So I've got a ddj1000, and i wish to practice some scratch with a turntable, will there be any difference if i just connect my turntable with the DDJ rather than a DJM mixer?😢

[raphaelspaid]

im trying to figure out if theres a way to "launch", "play" or "start" two different tracks simultaneously ?

[markgoldsmith]

You state that the difference between a phono input and a line input is that the line input is digital. This is incorrect . Both inputs are designed to take analogue signals. The difference is that the phono input from a turntable is at a much lower voltage than the input from a CD player (or other line input)
Electronics inside the controller / mixer amplify the phono signal to bring it up to line level before the signal is routed further through the controller / mixer.

[Layal_Melodies]

thank you for explaining all of this. Remember that little fork looking cable that's used to reduce the "hum", do we have to use it? If yes, I didn't really understand where the other end goes. Thank you :)
