The audio interface in Mixtrack Pro
Posted on: 27.03.2013 by Gerald Denier
The Mixtrack pro has 2 RCA outputs of which I've used an adapter for and plugged a 3,5 mm plug into. The problem I'm having is bad sound quality and distorting when turning it up. My question now is if its the audio interface in the Mixtrack pro that sucks or if its the adapter that sucks? The sound I'm getting through the cue plugin is, however, working perfectly.

So for best quality, I should connect an amp to the RCA sockets and then speakers to amp?

What exactly is the problem? Have you tried connecting speakers to the RCA sockets?
I understand that, but when I connect headphones via an adapter to the RCA sockets I get distortion/bad sound. Therefore I assumed it'd probably the same if I plugged in speakers with 3,5 mm via the adapter.

What cable are you using to connect it, and what speakers are you using?
I'm using a cable I got off my local electronic store to plug my akg dj headphones in.

If you have speakers, they should be connected to the RCA sockets yes.

Makar hit it on the head. And avoid using any adapters if possible. Expecially one that eliminates so much surface area from the contact.
