Can A Numark DJ IO run 2 montiors without any additional amp ?
Can A Numark DJ IO run 2 montiors without any additional amp ? Posted on: 29.03.2013 by Alesia Tomcho Hi all.If you i connect my computer to the DJ IO and go straight from the interface outputs to the monitors inputs (im talking about PA monitors you use in party and such), will it handle it or do i must add an amp to the chain so it will work ? thanks in advance. | |
| Alphonso Deitchman 29.03.2013 | Depends on your speakers. RCA to 2xTS is fine and will work if your speakers accept unbalanced signals through the TRS socket. c151c9a38c3db001da4dfbab364fa815-aa2ced4c73a106aeb96868c2df4d3fc6.jpg |

| Alphonso Deitchman 29.03.2013 | More connections =/= higher quality. You're also not "ditching adapters", you're adding them when they weren't there before. But having a few standard TRS cables is useful yes. |
| Jerica Salava 29.03.2013 | I use these: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2 and these: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2 Give you more versatility for future configurations. You can ditch the adapters and go straight TRS to TRS and vice versa. It's also higher quality and cheaper. > |
| Alesia Tomcho 29.03.2013 | Hmm...ok, I'll have to check it out than. Thanks again for the quick and useful replies. |

| Alphonso Deitchman 29.03.2013 | TRS sockets on speakers are usually Balanced Mono, and they may or may not be able to accept an unbalanced signal from the DJ IO. |
| Alesia Tomcho 29.03.2013 | You might know it as TRS. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 29.03.2013 | The DJ IO does not have XLR outputs; it should be connected to RCA sockets on the speaker or any input that is compatible with an unbalanced signal. What is a PL input? |

| Alesia Tomcho 29.03.2013 | Thanks alot guys ! that really helped ! BTW, do most PA Speakers have PL inputs ? |
| Dottie Tabet 29.03.2013 | Then yes, you will be fine connecting the outputs from your DJ IO to your monitors :-) |
| Alesia Tomcho 29.03.2013 | yes and yes. |

| Alesia Tomcho 29.03.2013 | If the PA speakers got a Volume knob that means they are active, right ? sorry for being newbie in this area. |
| Albertina Fay 29.03.2013 | it depends on the PA speakers you mention. Are they self-amplified, or passive speakers? If they are self-amplified, you will be fine. If they are passive, you will need to connect audio card outputs to an amplifier, then from your amplifier to your speakers. |
