A6 or A10
A6 or A10 Posted on: 08.02.2013 by Coralee Salti I have a DJM 400 mixer, i had a s4 but sold it as i only use vinyl now and wanted to save space for my new home. I had purchased a scratch upgrade kit for the s4 but i have sold the s4 now and seeing as i paid for the upgrade kit seperately i can keep it. So all i need is the soundcard and cables but cant buy them seperately (Checked ebay and other places). Its the same price for a new kit.My question is i use vinyl most of times but i sometimes use timecode vinyl, will the A6 be the best soundcard for me? Also do i need multi core cables to swich from timecode to normal vinyl on my DJM 400? | |
| Reda Holdsworth 08.02.2013 | to switch from timecode to vinyl using the phono/line switch you will need 2 of these cables. splitter.jpg and 2 more regular rca's that's how I have mine setup. Not necessary you can just switch in software. But i like flipping the switch on the mixer better. |

| Alphonso Deitchman 08.02.2013 | If you are using turntables with hardwired non-removable RCA cables you'll need a splitter you can plug into like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RCA-Y-Spli...-/150453878757 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-x-female...-/160866121892 |
| Coralee Salti 09.02.2013 | yea thanks. |
| Reda Holdsworth 09.02.2013 | not sure off hand. I can post a link where i got them later from my home computer. they were inexpensive. |
| Coralee Salti 09.02.2013 | yea i prefer that too, whats those cables called? |

| Lauretta Ehrhorn 08.02.2013 | I wasn't happy with the Db output when using either live input or thru with the audio 6. I ended up using multicores again and find it much more satisfying to my ears. |
| Coralee Salti 08.02.2013 | oh brilliant its that simple. just like i used to do it with my S4 |

| Harley Zitka 08.02.2013 | Well, the A6 comes with Traktor Scratch Pro 2, so you don't need the upgrade kit. Besides, it is an upgrade kit, not a license. As for your current needs, the A6 will work nicely. And no, you do not need multicore cables. Just the cables that come with the A6 (4 sets of RCA) are all you need. |
