I have no idea what that means haha. Does that mean I need a splitter from 1/4" to RCA?

Surely you could just use the booth outputs?

well, audio 2 dj is supposed to be bundled with a pair of 1/4 stereo to RCA

so you can just plug that into the mixer.

Why not use booth? he just need's to remember to use the booth volume instead of the main. all the output's are supposed to carry the same signal, just that master and both have independent volume and record has a static one. In some mixers Booth is even labled Master 2...

My speakers have only one wire...the one I put into my Audio2 which is like you said, a 1/4" input.

Do I need 2 RCAs to go into the booth? I guess I don't understand why I am using the Audio 2 which would require me to plug it in to a laptop, which I am trying to get rid of anyway...or are you suggesting I just use the RCA cables which came with my Audio2 to plug into the booth? --- if so, like I said, my speaker have only one wire...

To connect the mixer straight to the speakers, you'll need an adapter. As i assume they just use a regular headphone jack?

This is the cable you'll need...

Thank you! The answer I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to look up the pic for me.

Now this would then plug into the Booth of the mixer, or somewhere else?

Red and white into the booth, and then the female 3.5mm you would plug your Z4 cable in to.

Thank you very much for the help!

Since I am losing traktor, I am thinking about the DJM400 2 channel. A 4 channel Xone 42 would be nice and allow for upgrades, but has no effects like the Pioneer.

I know most here use a DVS software, but is it common occurance to mix without a laptop like this and usee just your knowledge of your songs?

You could just run songs of a usb drive or from cds and be fine
