HELP: Bringing S4 to a gig

[Florian Arndt]

bring a small mixer, because s4 wnt be powerfull enought to conect direclty there, you will need a mixer to boost the volume up.

Can´t confirm! No additional mixer needed over here.

I connect it with RCA's into 'Line in' on the in house mixer.

i dont know, why the people ask me why i say its not powerfull and that, i dont know what kind of clubs do you mix, but the S4 is not analog/digital external mixer, is just a sound card, if i put a sound card directly to the amp, no matter what soundcard is, unless is an expensive and very profesional one, wont be powerfull enought, the controllers soundcards, or the external sound cards wich are usually used by dj software users, are not made to conect directly to an amp, they are ok for home amp, but not for a big club. Iv tried this with other sound cards, and S4 itself, and you need a external mixer, like always, to give it good volume.


Ah, and.....do you know the S4 doesnt have balanced ouputs, so tell me how you people do it in a good club or at least a place with a decent equiment where you need those to hook it everything allright.


And sorry for bad english by the way

I'm really not sure where you are getting that information from...

Take a look at the first screenshot below and compare it to the output specifications of any popular dj mixer. How is it different?



As for the balanced output, please see the second screenshot.



P.S. Both screenshots are from the S4 user's guide.

Well coming from you people i will trust you, maybe my S4, wich are sold now, probably was defective as i have very bad audio quality coming from it, and directly to the amp, t least for me, was not enought, but if for the rest its ok, then probably it is. Anyways iv heard people here complaining also about that isue, where S4 for them wernt enought in some clubs without a mixer.
