Connecting DJM to Yamaha HS5s?
Connecting DJM to Yamaha HS5s? Posted on: 22.06.2013 by Bernard Pulizzi my very simple question needs a very simple answer.. one that appears to be no-where on the internet.. AM I RIGHT in believeing that the cables I need to connect my DJM 400 mixer to my Yamaha HS5 active monitors is simply an RCA to XLR cable? this looks obvious enough, but when I took to the web for confirmation, a lot of people seem to have a lot of different answers.. This should be all I need.. Confirm or Deny. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stereo-Male-.../dp/B001AAZWIO (only using one XLR per monitor obvs.) | |

| Alphonso Deitchman 30.06.2013 | Fewer connections are good, but being able to use standard cables is a better solution IMO. The adapter I recommended is particularly suitable as it guarantees the grounding of the cold balanced input on the monitors. Balanced to unbalanced cables are usually things to avoid where possible. |
| Yong Aptekar 29.06.2013 | Just a note on adaptors, I've never liked using them, as its just 1 more connection point. I know it doesn't make a huge difference, but when you have audio problems, its just another thing to look at. I'm a fan of just cables, no extra connections. Not that adaptors are all bad. But looks like you have your answer above |

| Tesha Freudenstein 22.06.2013 | correct. alternatively you could use RCA to TRS for the same result since your monitor provides either one, but as far as your original question goes: you'd be fine with the cable you posted. |
