Cables, controllers, etc Posted on: 22.12.2011 by Bobbye Ploszaj Hello... Im new to the DJ world..even though I try to keep up..every minute...My concern is that I bought the Reloop Dj Interface DJ controller(soundcard included) and the KRK ROKIT 5 studio monitor. I dont have the controller with me yet, but I have the Berinhger BCD3000, I bought it just to try to control basic stuff, beat matching, just the get the look and feel. I tried to test the monitor with this controller, but it seems I can't get like the sound quality, they I really want (the monitor is in mint condition, no problems at all). Since the controller has 2 rca outputs and the monitors has the options of Unbalanced RCA,Balanced 1/4" TRS, Balanced XLR,which would be the best option once the Reloop controller arrives. I tried to see if I can get hold of a dual rca to XLR male. But most of them are from Single RCA to XRL. Any suggestions. Also the bass on the monitor is limited.. I read in a blog that if you only have one of these, the bass is not as much as loud. | |

| Yong Aptekar 26.12.2011 | hey, the bcd only has 1 rca out, the other 2 are inputs for turntables. check your wiring, might not be set up properly. |
| Danae Dumler 23.12.2011 | if you get a second monitor, you can go from the left output to one monitor and the right output to the other. So if your sound card has RCA out, a regular RCA cable would do it. |
| Bobbye Ploszaj 22.12.2011 | Thank you for the input.. But pardon my ignorance on this..but...if I get a second monitor..which device would be the one to get in order to connect the controller to my two monitors. Which one do you guys recommend. |
| Danae Dumler 22.12.2011 | Yeah you should go with a second monitor. If you are going to just use one, get a "summing" device that will convert your 2-RCA stereo signal to MONO. Something like this will do the trick - http://www.google.com/products/catal...56427358009800 Or you can maybe do that in Traktor and use just one cord. But don't just use an "adapter" as it will sound shite. |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 22.12.2011 | studio monitors are mono, so you only input one of the rca's into the monitor. two monitors sounds about 4 times louder to our ears than just one, so I would be saving for another, but even still you should be aiming for 8' krk's if you want decent bass without a sub. |
