    Default Can A Numark DJ IO run 2 montiors without any additional amp ?

    Hi all.

    If you i connect my computer to the DJ IO and go straight from the interface outputs to the monitors inputs (im talking about PA monitors you use in party and such), will it handle it or do i must add an amp to the chain so it will work ?

    thanks in advance.

    it depends on the PA speakers you mention. Are they self-amplified, or passive speakers?

    If they are self-amplified, you will be fine. If they are passive, you will need to connect audio card outputs to an amplifier, then from your amplifier to your speakers.

    If the PA speakers got a Volume knob that means they are active, right ?

    most-likely.

    is there a power plug that need to be connected to the speakers? is there an on/off switch?

    Then yes, you will be fine connecting the outputs from your DJ IO to your monitors :-)
