Use the S2 with other mixers
Use the S2 with other mixers Posted on: 03.04.2012 by Dominque Strosser Oh so I got an S2 and I was wondering a few things.Can I hook it up to the aux port of and NS6 - NS7 and be able to use my laptop and mix with traktor? Can I hook it up to a Club mixer DJM 850-2000 aux ports and be able to use it???? Any help with possible setups like this will be a great help or do I have to buy a anything else other than cables. | |

You can then adjust the S2 Main output to increase if the sound levels are a bit low. My way of explaining input and output levels to a mate I was coaching once was; an amplifier does just that > less in, more out NOT more in, less out. Stick with this and it's difficult to go wrong, no one likes to hear audio clipping and distortion, least of all the club owner! Cheers. |

| Dominque Strosser 04.04.2012 | Thanks backtothefront that is just what I needed I'm playing 2 hour set but the resident uses a NS6 I want to make sure I could just play off of one of his channels. This is great but I'm still going to try and find a audio 10 before the whole traktor remix thing kicks in everywhere |

| Johnetta Olewine 03.04.2012 | route the master out of the s2 to a channel on the mixer. |
| Dominque Strosser 03.04.2012 | I really need to know I want to start using my S2 out and I need to know what are all the things that I may need. Especially when setting up I don't want to be caught with my pants down. |
