**Need help with speakers and dj mixers**

So I am going to buy a Pioneer DJM 800 and i am wondering if my M-Audio AV42 Active speakers can be plugged into DJM 800. Would appreciate any help! If not what kind of speakers do I need?

Hey mate.

They sure can. you will need 2 of these 1 RCA\>2 RCA connectors to run from the Master out on the mixer to the speakers.  
Lots of options with a proper mixer, you can also connnect a speaker or woofer from the booth out using a TRS cable, and of course if you have proper PA speakers, you connect those with the XLR cables. Hope this helps.

I’m pretty sure you just need a standard twin RCA cable. only one of the av42s is active the other connects via speaker wire.
