7.1. Connecting external audio sources
Your DJ Console 4-Mx allows you to connect virtually any kind of analog audio source you might
wish to use, including vinyl turntables. If you upgrade to VirtualDJ Pro
(not included in this
package), you can even use time-coded vinyl records or CDs to control music files stored on your
computer, giving you the ultimate hands-on mixing experience and combining the best that the
worlds of analog and digital have to offer. Now you can enjoy using hybrid mixing, combining
computer audio tracks on one deck with an analog source connected to the other deck.
ENGLISH
Your DJ Console 4-Mx features 2 stereo audio inputs on its back panel (2 pairs of 2 mono RCA
connectors). Define your audio source type in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel – it can be
phono level, consumer line level (-10dBv), pro line level (+4dBu) or boosted line level (+8dBu) –
and simply connect the audio source of your choice to the white (left) and red (right) RCA
connectors: Input 1-2 for Deck A, and Input 3-4 for Deck B. This allows you to replace the
computer audio track played on Deck A with the music played on Input 1-2, and replace the
computer audio track played on Deck B with the music played on Input 3-4.
FRANÇAIS
Be sure to define your audio source type (i.e. the correct output level for the device you
are connecting) in the control panel before connecting your audio source, and not after the
audio source has been connected. Doing so will avoid any possible audio issues in terms of
distorted sound.
DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS
You can even equalize your external audio sources and adjust their volume, just as you can with
a computer audio track (you can use the Gain knobs to adjust the volume for each deck). This
provides for seamless mixing and full control over the sound of your mix.
You can select the input level for each deck in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel (phono level,
c
onsumer line level, pro line level, or boosted line level), according the output level of the device
you are connecting. For more information, please refer to chapter 5.3.1. General control panel
settings.
ITALIANO
Be sure to select the appropriate input level for the device you are connecting;
otherwise, you risk damaging your equipment.
ESPAÑOL
If you are using a turntable with a ground cable:
- In the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel, select the Ph
ono input level for the deck in question.
- Connect the ground wire from your turntable to the ground connector on the DJ Console 4-
Mx
’s back panel. Grounding helps to eliminate the interference which can otherwise occur with
turntables, giving you crystal-clear sound. You can connect 2 ground wires from 2 turntables
to the ground connector on your DJ Console 4-Mx without any problem.
