Hey guys, I’m really new to this and am looking to purchase 2 CDJ-350’s and DJM-350 today.
I just had a question regarding monitors and accessories. Is it possible to hook up to a computer speaker set (Creative L3800)?
I know I should probably get some basic studio monitors, but I’m trying to not buy everything all at once and max out my credit card limit.
If the computer speakers are a no, then can you give some recommendations on what monitors I should get? Looking for something inexpensive as I am just learning and will be practicing for a while.
Also, what cables would I need to connect the mixer to the speakers or the monitors?
Yes it’s possible.
An easy way for you is buying a adapter that looks like this http://www.computercableinc.com/ccinc/products.jsp?sub=RCA+Y+Splitter+Cables&id=3138
and you put your 3.5mm which usually goes into your comp to the black end and the white/red into the mixer master output (djm 350).
You are on the right way to get better speakers, it will be worth it for sure. I’m crying all the time i see people with 4000 dollar mixertables and 50 dollar speakers.
If I were you i’d look for used cdj 400s instead of the cdj 350, then you will save enough money for a decent pair of speakers, like the yamaha HM80. The 350 is nothing that i recommend.. the jogwheel is pure shit compared to other stuff.
