What comes in my package?

How do I connect it all up?

Connecting your new equipment up may seem confusing, but if you follow these instructions, it's really quite simple. Remember we are here to help if you get stuck at any time:

1. Unpack and lay out all your equipment, as per the instruction book, but do not turn it on.

2. Next, take the cable from the left turntable or CD player, connect it to the back of your mixer marked. For turntables, you connect this to the input marks PHONO, and for CD players connect it to the input marked line.

3. Now do the same for the right hand turntable or CD - remember to chose the correct input - PHONO or LINE.

4. Connect the output connector from your mixer (usually marked OUTPUT or MAIN) to the AUX or LINE input on your hi-fi. If you are using small powered speakers, these should be connected to this output instead.

5. Now, turn on the turntables or CD players, THEN the mixer. Leave your hi-fi/speakers off for now.

6. On your mixer, make sure the PHONO/LINE switch at the top of each channel fader is in the correct position (see step 3 above). Make sure that the output volume control on the mixer is turned to about the half way position.

7. With the hi-fi/speakers still switched off, play a tune on the left hand turntable or CD player. Plug your headphones to the mixer, and push the cue button/switch which matches the channel you connected that turntable/CD player to.

8. You should now be able to hear the record playing. Leave the fader for that channel at the bottom. TIP: If you cannot hear anything - check if your mixer's headphone volume control.

9. Now, turn on your hi-fi, select your AUX/LINE input, and turn the volume up to a normal level. TIP: If you cannot hear anything - make sure your crossfader is in the middle.

10. Finally, SLOWLY bring up the channel fader on your mixer. If all is well - repeat this process for the right hand turntable/cd player.

Any problems, go back through the steps above again, making sure you have followed each point carefully.

Does it include an amp or speakers?

Our "Complete DJ Systems" do, as well as some of our other packages. Read the description of each package to determine if it comes with the items you want.

How can I record my mix to my computer?

You can connect the RECORD OUTPUT from your mixer to your computer easily - and you really don't need any special hardware or software.

All you need is a RCA PHONO to MINIJACK cable that you'll find in our audio cables section - you connect this between the RECORD output from your mixer to the LINE IN connection on your soundcard (check our soundcard manual to make sure you get the right connection)

Click the speaker icon on your task bar, select Options > Properties > and check the "Adjust volume for Recording" option - then make sure the LINE IN box is selected. The window will change to show Recording Controls - and you can adjust your LINE IN level accordingly.

You can then use any music recording software you want to record to your hard-drive - and you can then edit or burn your recording using suitable software.
