Can I connect 4 KRKs up to an Audio2DJ?
Posted on: 30.11.2013 by Alexandra Nerby
I currently have 2 Rokit 8s already on channel A and nothing in B. I have searched for quite a while and came up with one post somewhere saying I could if I switch my Midi Settings on my Mac to quadraphonic. Wanted to see if anyone here agrees with this or knows if it can be done before I buy another pair.
BTW, this has nothing to do with Djing. I just want 2 more monitors.

Thanks guys

If you simply want to duplicate your speakers this has NOTHING to do with quadraphonic sound
Quadraphonic means both channels are independent

I'll repeat what I said earlier, what are you trying to do?

I've sound art installations that went up to 16 separate speakers...so not exactly clueless about this.


If you simply want a duplicate use a stereo jack splitter:

and get two Insert jack cables, one for each speaker pair:

But if you wanted two left and two right, I would just use the splitters and stack them on top of each other.

Theoretically, an audio 2 could create four independent outputs. Left upper, left lower, right upper, right lower. But you would not have any way to cue from your headphones. And you would need special software that supports it. I believe there was a Vestax mixer with a joystick that could pan in this manner.

I've just tried setting my Audio 2 DJ to quadraphonic and it does not duplicate the audio across the outputs. You'll need to either use 3rd party software, or a combination of wires and adapters.

Nice one me posted mono instead of stereo adapter but you get the idea. RCA would also work in a same way with a solidering a custom cables.

That's a 3.5mm stereo to 2x RCA adapter, a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter, and a mono 1/4" doubler. If you connected them all in a chain, you'd have 1 RCA and 1 TS output both sending the left speaker signal, and one RCA connected to signal ground.

If you can't get the OSX Audio MIDI Setup to duplicate the audio across both channels, I'd use a 1/4" stereo doubler, and two 1/4" stereo-to-mono leads to connect your Rokits. That way you don't put excessive strain on any connectors by using rigid adapters.

I get two lefts and two rights with three adapters.

They work for me as split the channels. But if you say so.

None of those adapters will be any help.

none of this is clear ...
what exactly are you trying to do?

Have 4 speakers for a "surround" sound system?
You want to do a quadraphonic sound system?

This has nothing to do with Midi settings.

You'll need to explain a bit more on what you intend on doing.
If your plan is to run 4 speakers with independent sounds in each channel it's pretty easy in most DAWs.
Simply define 4 separate outputs 1-2-3-4 one for each output (software might require you panning hard left or hard right on your different output pairs).
