Hello guys I am new to the forums , this is not a greeting, immin need of help. I was a former dj forum member but idk what happened to that site, but I have some equipment : 2 technic M3d’s and recently got a djm 800, I don’t know jack about the djm 800 , but I’m learning slowly. My question is what kind of speakers can you run through the djm 800 and where do i plug my turntables at? Yes very stupid questions but believe it or not I been searching through google and YouTube to find NOT even one video or tut or conversation about setting up a djm 800. Also I have some stereo speaker can I use those? I don’t have a amp or PA , also, is there anyway I can play without a comp? I have vynils and stuff but immstill brand Spanking mew to this
First the mixer doesn’t carry any power for the speakers so you’ll either have to run out of where it says master out to an amp and then to speakers or from the master out to some powered speakers. That connection is called an XLR connection and is very common in the pro audio world. You could also run 1/4" TRS out of the booth out if you wanted and have both setups.
If you don’t have and amp and you’re just doing this at home or in the bedroom you could run it to a home stereo receiver and get some XLR to RCA adapters.
Next you’ll plug your TT’s into channels 2, 3 or 4 where it says phono.
i got the same mixer.
to be able to have the sounds on PA you need another power amp. i use this http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/PMP518M.aspx
Run the booth out to the inputs of this powered mixer, and the output to your PA system.
Connect your turntables at the Phono input of your DJM800
but for what reason should he get XLR → RCA? Can it possible be better than RCA → RCA. I know XLR → XLR is a completely different thing and that way sure, its a better transportway.
Why im asking is cuz i hook up my djm 800 with rca masters out to my hi fi stereo amp.
I’m sorry I misread when he said hifi stereo amp , I don’t have an amp but I was thinking doin XLR to RCA because i dont have and amp but do have a home stereo receiver
Just go straight out of the main out RCA’s to your home stereo receiver. You don’t need Serato to practice. You could use Traktor or even real records. Which brings up the next question, what are you using now?
I have quite a few of some house records and a bunch of records my friends have given me, I kinda lack a laptop, and a job to get one. I was just so desperate to start practicing because I wake up every morning and see them not being used.
Thanks for explaining stuff to me if I didn’t post hear I probably would throw my stereo out the window lol I’ll post again to let you know if it works out for me which I see why not.
