S4 Booth Outputs

S4 Booth Outputs

So me as many others have a need for booth outs and being that this is a huge issue I need to get this taken care of fast

This is what I was advised to do get a mixer that was recommended by a sweetwater rep to use a Mackie 802-vzlz3 at times I do need additional mike outs and can use the additional channels they do have a smaller one but this is perfect

Here is the Mackie http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/802VLZ3/

He said they way I should hook this up is with a Y cable out from the S4’s headphone jack and not plug in the S4 direct to the mixer…

Does this make sense to anyone

you can use this instead. more compact.

Thanks Papo

Question I am old school DJ just got back into it and went digital so I have questions…

Would I plug the mains into this as well or would I use the 1/4" as my mains as I usually do and then plug this into the RCA’s and the monitors into the Level Pilot

this!! Use one pair of the S4 outs to the PA system, or house mixer. The other pair of outs on the S4 will go to the Level Pilot.

this will allow you to control the volume on the booth monitors. Now remember, since both outputs on the Traktor S4 run parallel, your booth output cannot be louder than your “main out”.

In other words, you cannot have your booth monitors on (playing in the booth) and have your “mains” off on the dance floor.

get me?

I am still learning so I am kinda of confused I even ordered the Traktor bible trying to read and get my hands on experience as much as possible I appreciate all the advise and other info many others at the forum give so I appreciate it

As far as if I get ya im still a lil confused but I am figuring if I use my 1/4’s for the main system not plugging them into a mixer strait to QSCkw’s and then use the RCA’s to the pilot the main audio volume will then control all and just use the level pilot to adjust my booths… is that it?

Also being that the signal is being split will this cause any audio issues as far as quality or volume?

you’re welcome. i don’t mind helping at all. also, there a lot more threads on this forum about this topic. look around a little and i’m sure you will find lots more information.

^^ you got it.

and no, you should not be able to notice any difference in quality.
