DJ Rick Web so I have a numark mixtrack non pro. it has no internal soundacard and has no rca ports or anything, only a cable port for it to be powered up. How would I set this up to a pair of power speakers?

[@DJRickWeb]

+Let me school you you need a seprate mixer then to run the output from your laptop (3.5mm headphone jack) into. You could just simply buy a headphone jack to xlr conversion cable and use that. But preferably you need some form of a mixer to get the signal output gain up.

[@vivekmangipudi3773]

This is so well explained. it Cleared a lot of doubts. I have a very confusing question. I have two Alto ts 212 1100watt powered speakers. and one Gemini xtr 500 sat powered sub woofer. i want to hook them all to my controller through my behringer eurorack 1204 mixer. currently I'm connecting my controller to the mixer. mixer to the subwoofer, subwoofer outputs to the speakers. now since the speakers are already powered, when you connect from powered subwoofer to already powered speakers, will the speakers get damaged? ( is it a bad thing?) now If You connect one cable, first from mixer to Speaker. and then from speaker mix out to sub woofer, will that work?

[@DJRickWeb]

+Vivek Mangipudi either method will work that is also know as daisy chaining. It is used all the time in the dj world. Depending on manufactors recomendation they might say the go either sub first or tops first. Wither doesnt matter. Some subs will have a high pass out for the speakers which affectivly will cut the bass that the sub is already producing from the subs aloughing them to be the louder since the speakers arent try to rproduce the bass that the sub is producing. Like wise sometimes manufactors such as qsc put this high pass option in there top speakers so you could run to the speakers first then the subs. Overall either method works but if theres a high pass available either on your tops or sub. Sometimes on top speakers its called sub mood which is what my eons say. But the high pass will help your tops a bunch with making them louder and improving the sound of your setul.

First off, I totally love your videos!!!!!!!!! I have two ev zlx12p's, and a gemini subwoofer (xtr 500sat) which only has speakon outputs, and for inputs it has separate pair of xlr's and 1/4 inch TRS) and a behringer 1204FX mixer. As of now, I go from Controller ----> mixer----->2 speakers------>SUB. But there is very low bass coming out of the sub. If i do Controller --------> mixer------->SUB ----->TOPS (speakon to XLR/TRS). . . I know i will get bass but, i'm afraid the power from speakon will blow the powered speakers. How do I get more bass out of the sub in this set up? Pls advise.

[@ProbeGT2]

Hi Rick, have you made the same video or similar, for SRX speakers? I'm trying to setup my srx 812 and 828 at home, i'm a bit confused about the channel signal input and gain input. currently channel signal is a 0, gain is a 6db but i need to setup my mixer like you just tought in the video. also on the mixer, when your slider goes above 0db, does it distort the signal or it is only when the VU meter goes red that distortion is present? btw, a 828 in a house, is freaking amazing 😅 stuff is falling of the shelves haha. Thanx for your input and your time.

0 db for everything. On the mixer you can push like +3db but want to try and stay at 0 if you can

Very well explained DJ..RW My request???s I need to connect my Mix5 Mixer, that has (L/R 1/4" outs) to a single powered speaker with ONE (1/4" input and one XLR in/out). Plus I need to connect to a house speaker system. But my single powered speaker will be my monitor. Is this possible? and if so what do it need to connect these and will I be able to achieve stereo sound? So MIXed up rght now, pleez help

[@DJRickWeb]

Couple questions whats the input for the house system and does it have output of any kind? If there is no output option you are going to have to connect to the powered monitor then the house system. And in that route do to the single output of the speaker you will only be able to hook up the house system in mono. Honestly I prefer mono over stereo. But to do this here is what you will need. 1 - 1/4 to 1/4 cable 1 - 1/4 to male xlr cable you can run the L channel to the 1/4 input on the speaker and the R channel to the xlr input. Then you can run the xlr ouput to the house system. Depending on the inputs of the house system there are a lot of adapter cables to meet the needs for that input just give it a search on amazon. Hope this helps

[@InsaniTV]

That it did, thanks a lot. Just a side note. Should i be concerned about feedback from the monitor with this set up?

[@DJRickWeb]

+ThomasGrillo there is no such set thing to determine wattage to room size. Way to many perrameters to determine. Like how many people what type of music room layout dimensions of the room. Where you will be placed. The goal of the event. For instance this one venue for a wedding I bring 2 tops 2 subs only. For a prom in the same place I bring 4 tops and 4 subs. More people in the room and I need to fill the room with sound verse the wedding where it needs to be loud on the dance floor but in the back of the room it just needs to be loud enough to make announcements.

Are you not supposed to touch the gain knob on the speaker? I noticed you didn’t use the gain knob on the EON and was wondering why

[@DJRickWeb]

I set it at nominal. Aka 0db.

Hi rick, greetings from Ireland. Question... I’m using a pair of Alto T15 active tops & I’m using a Hercules RMX controller linked to a Gemini 2 channel mixer. The controller doesn’t have an led display for the 0db thing so where should my knobs on the mixer/speakers be set. Should I turn the speaker volume to about 2 o’clock & control volume thru master vol control on mixer? Should my master vol on my controller be at max, thanks

[@DJRickWeb]

Like I said in the video with out a led readout all you need to know is keep any volume knob at or below 75% or 3/4 turn. You never want any gains at max. If you can run both at 12 a clock and get the speaker to limit that would be ideal.

I have ×2 LD active speaker with bluetooth. How do i connect my android devices to it so it can come out on both speaker.

[@DJRickWeb]

You can only connect to one. And link the other with a cable or wireless xlr

[@mtanturk516]

hi mate, really like the info thanks. I am having sound cut off problems for couple of months with my active speakers. Really annoying as it happens in the middle of event. I use VDJ8 with DDJ SB2 controller and subzero active speakers. Tried everything but still have the same problem. Can it be because of high volume ? or something else ? Thanks

Stumbled across this video and if anything I'm not pushing my speakers enough.P.S. dbx rackmount PA2 in the mail. Thanks for a review on it.

[@joegowac5425]

settings for dv levels for subwoofer and mids

[@rectro5138]

I love that scratch intro😂

[@air_rue23]

where do u keep the eq? when checking for 0 db

[@DJRickWeb]

+toobig you put it where ever you think it sounds best. I normally run flat no gain in mid high or low

[@air_rue23]

DJ Rick Web huge help as I'm just restarting off. thx you

[@minnesotajack1]

Do you run your 712s in full range or bypass from your sub?

[@DJRickWeb]

High pass out the subs.

[@trippnface]

Hey man, does your knowledge extend into turntables as well? Having serious trouble trying to set up powered speakers to my turntable >.>

[@DJRickWeb]

Your not using a mixer before outputting to your speakers?

[@trippnface]

No mixer, but it is sounding like that is the better idea. I picked up a pre amp ( with rca input/outputs) but my powered speaker is XLR input. With rca being unbalanced and XLR being balanced, is that an issue? Even if it works, I would still be losing out on the " balanced" properties, correct?

[@DJRickWeb]

You would lose the grounding of the xlr. You can buy a rca to xlr cable though. I used it multiple times

[@trippnface]

thanks bro!

[@jesusmejia4138]

I mean it doesn’t travel like you’re standing in the middle of a big venue you can’t really feel the bass out far but if I stand behind the speakers I feel tremendous base. I feel like there something in my dbx blocking

[@DJRickWeb]

Sounds like a speaker placement issue. Depending on where you set a speaker in a room you can cancel all bass. See my subwoofer and speaker room placement videos

[@jesusmejia4138]

DJ Rick Web okay I will look into it, thanks

[@Webrick.]

Thanks for your feedback Congratulations 🎁 I got some Dj gear for you..

[@maxwank4209]

how do you get the volume so loud at parties if you are keeping it at 0 db? I dont really know how to set speakers up, but you have it hitting 100 db or something, but how do you achieve that when you are only at 0db on your mixer?

[@DJRickWeb]

Mixer db is just how much gain you are adding or subtracting to the sound signal. What you measure on the output end (what your hearing from the speakers) that db does not correlate at all to the mixer db. The output is a measure of how efficient and powerful your amplifier and speaker combination is.

[@maxwank4209]

DJ Rick Web I just go out from my dj controller into the speaker

[@kouaher8255]

Do you need an amplifier?

[@DJRickWeb]

+Koua Her sarcasm? The title is powered speakers meaning this is for powered only speakers. Which are speakers that have the amps built into the cabinets

[@rockyeasterline348]

I said the Mackie 608 powered amplifier will also run powered speakers just not sure where to plug them in have not used my new powered amp yet I talked to Mackie they told me how to do it but that was 6 months ago I never did do it going to have to call mackie again but this Is compatible that is why I bought this to run my powered JBL speakers

[@waleedbanjar3050]

wish i saw your video before i used my EON 615, after 30 minutes i start smelling very strong electric burning, now when i turn the bass up there is little rattling very little that its hard to detect but you could if you listen carefully, now i dont know if that its blown up or its just some stuff rattling with the bass.

[@josenavarro1833]

I have a ddj-sb2 it has a trim volume and the master and I have 2 pa speakers I really don't know how to set up the volume can you help

[@DJRickWeb]

+Jose Navarro trim is mostly to adjust the gain of the channel dont touch those to much just leave them at like 12 a clock or maybe 3 aclock. Never go past 3. Then just follow my guide in this video on master and speaker volumes

[@dhudson369]

Question on my speakers i have an (input knob) which im guessing is your signal knob you put at half way then turn the volume knob up till it hits the limit. Also can i put the input knob past half way to say 75% or will that bring the limit light on sooner. Is it best to also do the subs before the tops or other way around?

[@DJRickWeb]

Subs vs tops doesn't matter. Just listen to the sound and make sure the subs sound even with the tops. As far as the volume knobs. There is no said rule. You just dont want to go past 75%. The whole point of that is to avoid adding any unnecessary gain to the system that can distort the audio.

Bro I'm using Sony v90dw party sound system for DJ very very very good sound system

[@jackiepage6120]

Hey man. Appreciate you.

[@paulleepoy8039]

I thought you just hook up the wires to the black and red holes on the speakers at the back,

[@DJRickWeb]

For home style speakers yes. Not DJ or production type speakers.
