Okay so I recently picked up a set of technics sl 1200’s, I have had these in the past alongside a djm 800 and M audio studio monitors. At the moment I just have the technics and I bought a middle range numark mixer. At the moment I cant afford something in the range of the studio monitors and want to buy a cheapish set of speakers to do me in the meantime while I save up for something more professional. With only using the studio monitors in the past im not very aware on what other speakers I can use. Is it possible to connect the RCA outputs on the mixer to a standard hifi with a speaker wire output? I’ve looked online and seen there’s adapters that connect the two but I would rather know if its possible before going ahead with it. Any advice on this would be extremely helpful!!
Short answer: Yup (I do it)
We connect the XLR outs from our mixers to our powered speakers, and the booth or rec out to either a separate sub or a hifi system all the time.
Around the house at the moment I have standard computer monitors with a 3.5mm jack output and I also have a pair of technics hifi speakers with a wire output. Pretty sure they’re both passive speakers. I can pick up a better set if needed but is it possible to use either of these in the meantime? I do plan on getting the studio monitors asap but I’d like to be able to put my decks in use until then
