Mackie Thump 15a - Correct Cables

[Dravery1]

Can you send me a link to the correct rca to xlr cables for a Vestax VCI-300 setup for Mackie Thump 15a

I am new to powered speakers so need some help in that regards. Not new to digital DJing though.

You will need a DI box or a mixer that will do the same thing (take an unbalanced input and provide a balanced output). I have helped two forum members with the exact same speakers (they were going from NI soundcards though).

Well you can't just get a cable, as RCA is unbalanced and XLR is balanced. So you need to go with something like this.....
First get a cable like this,


Then your going to need a DI box, something like this...(try to find one with ground lift)


Then some XLR's to the speakers.

UGH!!! Damn it, now Phil beat be too it.

Ok, so what would the proper setup be from laptop, to VCI, TO DI Box and to speakers..
Sorry, kinda slow when it comes to this.
Ex: which cables to which device and etc

I just use cables and it seems to work fine.

Yea, wish I had the sub with it, so more of the neighbors can appreciate when you're training
