I've done the set up but how come am red lineing?

red lining on mixer? maybe your turntable output doesnt need additional amplification and so maybe try line in on mixer instead of the phono input

KidChan pretty sure that's basic knowledge for djs

the poor girl just wants to play with barbie - not vinyl! :-)

That model speaker is a Mackie SRM series Self Powered PA speaker - so I went directly from the Mixer using RCA cables out to an XLR cable to the back of the speaker.. the speaker has its own power cord .

its up to you = how to do you want to get sound out of your mixer? GO for it

No you don't need speakers but you need it hear the music somehow and DJ mixers dont have built in speakers. So if you want to hear it without speakers you will need headphones coming out of the mixer. enjoy and have fun. Tell me how it goes

RCA to XLR is what you need depending on what type of speakers you have. The OUTPUT on the mixer in the video is RCA. My MAckie speakers want XLR cables so i had one cable that changes into the other. I suggest determining what type of cables your mixer and speakers each in going in and out and then search online for a cable that has what you need on either end

RCA cables are all the same basically. But Not every cable is an RCA. SO if your mixer has RCA outputs like in the video then you need to know what you need the cables to turn into to get into the speaker. IF the speaker is 1/4" or XLR you need a cable that will be one side RCA and one side XLR or whatever you need for your type of speaker. If you need help ask a friend or contact sweetwater.com or some music equipment website for help

1- If your turntable has a built in preamp - you may just be able to run it into any input, and maybe NOT the phono because it may too loud of a signal if the preamp has already been a part of the sound before it gets to the mixer's own preamp. IN other words maybe if the signal is distorted, use like a CD in or TAPE in to the receiver. 2- you can use either type of speaker. The Passive or Active Amplifier for your speakers is just about making the speakers work, it doesn't care what happened to create the initial signal ( music etc). If the speakers are playing sound, you are good to go and it is working. 3 - Im not sure what your system is doing that would make you ask these questions. Are you running into a problem? What is it?

yes

The other end goes to the turntable. Either it will come out with the cables from inside the turntable or you will need to screw it onto a similar screw on the turntable as the one you see on the mixer. Altar and table The other end goes to the turntable. Either it will come out with the cables from inside the turntable or you will need to screw it onto a similar screw on the turntable as the one you see on the mixer. Most turntables have a red (1)and white (2) RCA cable and a ground wire (3) + a power cord

@@milesbonny my man 👍

to what kind of mixer? From this if it is a DJ mixer - you will go from the outs of the mixer to however your speakers work. If you have house style speakers with basic wires - you will need a Receiver not a DJ mixer to connect turntable and speakers to

miles bonny i mean a mixer like your to speakers like yours

rca to xlr cable to speaker

rca stereo cable to XLR cable

You need a serato mixer or a Serato Box like an SL1 or SL2 or SL3 - thats the cheapest way to go. The TUrntables would go to mixer then mixer to serato box then serato box would have a USB to laptop computer

I got flight cases for them.

miles bonny Thanks! What’s the brand?

@@Strfanopita Any. Just search for turntable flight case.

***** It's a Stanton rm.402

1- For output from a mixer use any - but id suggest Master - 2- If you are going from Turntable to mixer then to receiver for Input id say CD or tape. BUT IF YOU ARE GOING FROM TURNTABLE DIRECTLY TO RECEIVER And no mixer in the middle = use phono = phonograph is a turntable.

You need something to go between the turntable and speakers. A mixer, a receiver, a lil box from turntablelab.com -- something - they can answer questions too

if your speakers need an amplifer then go from mixer to amp first.

@@milesbonny ok thank you bro

1 - If you cant hear your vinyl - make sure your needle is clean and working. 2- If something only works with an amplifier - maybe it need an amplifier. Please explain in more detail

bategas Like a mono, buddy

Check connection of your Needle catridge to the turntable arm. The short cut is to unscrew your cartridge (the thing that has the needle on it that you screw into the tone arm of the turntable) and lick the contacts on the back of the cartridge so when they go into the tone arm and the hot the contacts in tone arm, they connect better. OR check your headphone connections to make sure everything is tight and working

Ok - does it work well when its hooked up? Some Turntables do have built in grounds in other ways

If your speakers are passive and need a preamp, then put the preamp after the mixer like your first list. If you’re talking about a preamp for a turntable then put it before the mixer but don’t use the “phono” input on the mixer use the “line in.”

@@milesbonny awesome thank you. I called McIntosh yesterday. Their tech (who was unreasonably patient with me) told me the same thing. It’s surprisingly difficult to find this piece of info online.

Yes both are cheap

Jus buy a Stereo RCA to Stereo RCA cable. And for ground - you can just use a piece of speaker wire. Doesnt have to be specific type.. just wire.

sounds right. Looks like your mixer has RCA out So yes - RCA out of the mixer to whatever your speakers accept as inputs.

@@milesbonny but the mixer's out says AMP, so it should be only for amplifiers? I want to know before buying the rca / to xlr or 1/4 , that is pretty expensive around here.

@@HeavyMetalWarrior6 Yes I see it "amp" or "record" - Yes should buy the cord - BUT if the speaker you have is powered meaning it has it's own amp inside of it. If you speakers are passive and don't have a power cord the comes out of them and you need an amp. If you need an amp, you will connect the mixer to your amp and then your amp to your speakers. If you don't need an amp, then yes connect the mixer to your speakers. You can use AMP or RECORD out - whatever works if all good.

@@milesbonny Thank you so much. I have Yamaha HS8 monitors, I believe they are amplified? Then I should buy two cords, and connect one speaker to AMP and the other to REC?, or both just in AMP or REC

@@HeavyMetalWarrior6 yeah I think they're amplified. Look them up online - they will say if active (are already amplified) or passive (need an amp). Its easy if you think about it in a basic way. You need to connect your speaker to the thing the sound comes from. So a cable goes from on to the other. One single mini RCA for the R (right) out from mixer to input of 1 speaker and then another single (mono) cable from the L (left) out from mixer to input of the other speaker. done

Yes you are correct - and by the way I most often hear it called the "ground wire" but I know what you mean. Just the turntable to the mixer or amplifier, whatever the red and white cables Art going to, the ground wire also goes to.

@@milesbonny thanks

On a DJ mixer like this one - you connect the OUTPUT of the mixer to cables that then go into the speakers (if are self-powered speakers) OR if the speakers you have are not self-powered, than you will plug the OUTPUT of the speaker to a cable that then goes into a receiver of amplifier that the speakers are connected to - inputs in the receiver or amplifier can be the cd Input or tap input or "auxiliary" input. So the answer is that it depends what type of speakers you have.

Jrocc play this one

Andrew Lewis ??

@@JayJay-tw4nt the song is play this one by jrocc

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZZoitSrlaualZs.html. JRocc Play This One

Power cable and a cable from the mixer to speaker. IF you have non self-powered speakers you will need a receiver or amplifier to go in between the mixer and the speakers. It depends on the type of speakers you have

miles bonny how do you can connected whit interface?

most do. if it doesnt, sometimes its built into the RCA cables. But if you see a screw on the turntable near the outputs, it needs a ground wire. Use a speaker wire if you dont have an actual ground wire

@@milesbonny much love thankns

@@milesbonny thanks **

YES - As long as the mixer has a "phono" or vinyl input.

@@milesbonny Thanks imma give that a try :)

I think what you are asking is how to preview a side of music playing without it going over the speakers to audience? If so, You use a CUE function of the mixer and your headphones. You preview the side that isn't playing over the speakers in your headphones and prepare it to play over the speakers ahead of time so no one hears what you are going to play next. Does that sounds right? ON the M2 mixer it is called CUE and you use the sliding fader on the top right of the mixer to listen to one side or the other.

@@milesbonny yes but they are hard to find now..I have numark m101 and an m2 and you can't do it on either....can you suggest a basic mixer which have them cue buttons

Ahh right I was wondering what that was but I get nothing out if it..I must have wired the mixer up wrong thanks

@@stevenic6643 Most DJ mixers have the ability to cue the track before it goes through the main speakers.

@@milesbonny thankyou

If there is no ground then two things could be possible. One if you plug the white and red RCA cable into your mixer or receiver and win playing a record you do not hear a buzz and the volume is loud enough that it is OK without the ground. If there is no ground then to things could be possible. 1- if you plug the white and red RCA cable in to your mixer or receiver and when playing a record you do not hear a buzz and the volume is loud enough than it is OK without the ground. 2- Look to see if you have that little metal screw looking thing on the back where the ground would go. If you do have that then you need to use a wire to act as a ground to connect that to the mixer or receiver. If you do not have that metal ground screw in the back or a hole where it should be, then likely you do not need a ground cable.

@@TaosAlive Thanks. one more thing, i bought a used vestax pmc 05 pro 3 and when i plug the rcas inside i get little to no volume. i dont have a pre amp because theres one built inside the turntable which is a audio technica lp120. so it could be the mixer but iam not too sure.

@@andrewlewis7409 Make sure the turntable is going into the PHONO input on back of mixer. Then play a record and make sure mixer is on, then try toggling between LINE and PHONO on mixer.

@@milesbonny Thank you so much. everything is working now👍😁

Those are fine but you need to get a cable that will go from your mixer out to the speaker. if the speaker has both XLR and a 1/4" in you can use either to get sound into the speaker from the mixer - but you need a cable to match both the speaker and mixer - so in other words if you have a mixer like the one shown - you will need RCA to XLR or RCA to 1/4" to get the sound from mixer to speaker
