| Felisha Dashner 30.12.2012 | Awesome, this is looking like my probable set-up then. Thanks for your help StephanV much appreciated |
| Pansy Shiveley 29.12.2012 | Not at all! The trs jack has 2 channels, all the splitter does is separate them physically. If the A2 had 4 rca jacks out instead of 2 trs (as in the audio 4/6/8/10), it would have done the same internally. |
| Felisha Dashner 29.12.2012 | Cheers for the help StephanV. So with the splitter cable would this reduce sound quality or lower volume levels? Or does this not matter with the speakers being active? |
| Pansy Shiveley 29.12.2012 | Monitor ins are mono, A2 outs are stereo so just get a TRS mono splitter, theyre dirt cheap. |
| Felisha Dashner 29.12.2012 | However looking at the example set-ups on the NI website it leads me to believe that 1 of the TRS ports on the Audio 2 is for headphone out and the other for monitor out which is a bit of a problem as there would be 2 TRS leads coming from the back of the AV-40's and obviously one TRS lead from my headphones... Any ideas on this one? Again apologies for my lack of knowledge! |
| Felisha Dashner 29.12.2012 | The monitors would be active yes and they have RCA and TRS outputs so these could go via TRS straight into the Audio 2 without the need for any converters. As far as I am aware the RCA channels are unbalanced on these monitors but the TRS jacks are balanced?!?! not sure exactly what this means though... |
| Pansy Shiveley 29.12.2012 | Correct. If the monitors are active, they can be plugged straight into the Audio 2 (you'll need some converters though, the monitors probably have XLR jacks. There's some stuff about balanced/unbalanced that appears to matter for sound quality, but again I don't know enough about all that) If they're passive, you'll need an amp between the Audio 2 and the monitors. But they're probably active. |
| Felisha Dashner 29.12.2012 | Tbh the Rmx sound quality is fine at least certainly for home use but I figure for the extra few quid it is worth getting the Audio 2 seen as I need to get a full version of Traktor Pro anyway, only using the trial atm. So you would have your controller connected via USB, the Audio 2 via USB and then the monitors plugged into the Audio 2 outputs? |
| Pansy Shiveley 29.12.2012 | I don't know about the Rmx sound quality, but I'm guessing the Audio 2 will not disappoint you. It's about the best you can get, and with the included Traktor software this indeed is a no-brainer. You simply connect the Rmx and A2 to your computer, and select the A2 interface in the Traktor audio settings. Simple as that. I don't know much about PA though, can't help you with the monitors. |
