Will i need anything else once i get the S4? Posted on: 12.06.2011 by Marva Lievsay Ok. So since im starting to DJ, my plan is to get the S4. I have a 13inch MacBook. I also have Dr dre studio beats. Will I need anything else (as in connections wise) to connect the s4 to my computer or like my studio beats to the S4? Oh and what are good speakers I should get? Need thoughts on that too. It can be like kinda pricy but not too pricy. thanks.ADDON: Also i dont know where to buy the speakers or stands for them so can you put links. thanks. as wel for anything else i might need. | |

| Tatum Ansaldo 12.06.2011 | General consensus is that beats are abominable for DJing, but they'll do for now. And as Micah said, the KRK Rokit series (5, 6 and 8) are pretty much the best bang you'll get for your buck. Regarding links, for one thing you haven't mentioned where you live, but also you can't expect everyone here to do your shopping around for you. We can recommend products but it's up to you to find the best price in your area. Google is your friend. In terms of connections, it's pretty easy to work out for yourself. Look at the outputs your chosen audio interface has (in your case the S4) and look at the input options on the speakers and headphones. The KRKs are very good in this regard, as they accept RCA, TRS and XLR inputs. I'll give you one for free, the S4 has TRS balanced outputs so you'd need TRS-TRS cables (x2). |
