Y ____ no got xlr
So many of the latest controllers come without XLR’s…WHY?
TWITCH
DDJ (T1/S1)
S4
DJM-350…
WHY YOU NO GOT XLR?
i’d say the merger between pro and hobby
Because are aimed to bedroom dj but the ddj s1 it comes with Xlr. Bedroom dj’s don’t need it and never will understand the use of it
because you just plug into the house system or a 2nd mixer.
at our gigs, we use two setups (ssl and tp2) i plug into the aux in of a rane ttm56
other than that, just use a DI box.
The Twitch offers balanced outputs,
So does the T1, the S1 even got dedicated XLRs.
The S4 offers balanced outputs.
The DJM-350 is a POS mixer offered by Pioneer to the bedroom market.

Space
Because some of these have balanced outs via TRS which are essentially the same in the end as xlr… also mentioned before, plug into another mixer.

XLR has a fair old footprint to be fitted to what are mostly slimline portable controllers.
damn, and I ran out of the shower thinking someone called me 
DN-MC6000 does.
I don’t really see the big fuss. Quarter to XLR cables and your covered. Quarter to RCA cables and your also covered.
My guess would be that alot of club DJ’s would plug their main outs to the club mixer (RCA’s) and Quarter to RCA’s are more common than Quarter to XLR.
Bump. I’m looking to buy RCA - XLR cables to hook up my Audio 6 to a potential future club mixer that only has XLR inputs.
I’m not sure whether I should buy 2 RCA → 1 XLR, or 2 RCA → 2 XLR. Which is most commonly used, or is it recommended to have both available? I’m also guessing the XLR jacks would have to be male?
It’d be 2 rca to 2 xlr BUT unless you use a “matchbox” or something similar the XLR will not be balanced. Not a huge deal if the run from your setup to the club mixer is not very far or not run over power cables. It does mean the signal at the clubs inputs will be a bit quieter than if it was balanced +4dbu but I’m assuming you’re plugging into a channel strip on the ouse mixer which will have another level of gain staging to make up for it.
Its very unlikely people will be using an XLR out in a club situation
Thanks for that! And would the XLR plugs have to be male or female?
I’ve heard there’s a slim but real chance of a bar having an XLR-only mixer. As I’m mainly doing low-profile gigs, I guess I better not take my chances..
this..
if you are using a controller in a club.. you will never plug in with XLR. Even if you are play at a mates gig in a pub, the mixer will have a tape in or jack inputs
They would be male XLR’s but thye’re right. It’s you’re plugging into a standard club mixer then RCA’s will be fine. If you’re plugging into a Mixer for a place that does Live sound then chances are XLR is the way to go. I’d definitely bring both choices unless you go check out the connections first on your own.
Its very very rare you are plugging directly into a sound system like that. As most peopple have said you normally just plug into the mixer. The only time it would be different was if there was no space and you took out the mixer, and even then most of TRS. Just invest in two TRS to XLR cables.
