**How to connect microphone to Audio 4 DJ?** Hi friends. I am planning buy a microphone for my prepaded live mixed show over the internet waves 🙂 My choice is Sennheiser e835-S. But question is - how can I connect it to my dj gear?: - MacBook Alu 13,3" 2.4GHz (late 2008) - Traktor Pro - Vestax VCI-100 SE - NI Audio4DJ - Sennheiser HD 25-C II - iPad + Touch OSC + OSCulator Thank you for reply. ---

Select the channel you plug the mic into in preferences. Under the deck letter in traktor click on the arrow and select audio through. ---

My english language is not so good 😃 There is just this information: Dynamic microphones don’t require their own power supply… So, I don’t need nothing more to buy than mic, cable and reduction to RCA, right? 🙂 ---

So…I bought XLR to 1/4" and 1/4" to 2x RCA mono. Plugged in to my soundcard’s input “IN 1/2” in Audio 4 DJ. In Traktor I select deck D and set as Audio Through. In Preferences → Input Routing in Input Channel D I set L (Mono) as 1: Ch A left. (R as -not connected-) Is it set right? Because music is louder then my voice. Or mayby is really need some mic preamplifier…?
