This is cool seeing how you started
Finally someone who knows how to power JBLs, even sales people in the stores like GC talk down on JBLs and talk up QSCs because they don't know this or they're looking for a bigger commission. I don't know. But that was excellent advice.
+James P its hard not to talk up a qsc from a sales prospective they have had the same model out for years and its a solid model. But seriously I think that solid model is starting to get beat out by better technology not just from JBL but EV too.
Sir you have earned yourself a sub! good work
Very nice video bro and very accurate information!!!
These are great thanks for making these I can't seem to find any info like this anywhere
+Aeodi Graphics thanks more episodes to come whenever i have time to make them lol

DJ Rick Web so I have a numark mixtrack non pro. it has no internal soundacard and has no rca ports or anything, only a cable port for it to be powered up. How would I set this up to a pair of power speakers?
+Let me school you you need a seprate mixer then to run the output from your laptop (3.5mm headphone jack) into. You could just simply buy a headphone jack to xlr conversion cable and use that. But preferably you need some form of a mixer to get the signal output gain up.

Stumbled across this video and if anything I'm not pushing my speakers enough.P.S. dbx rackmount PA2 in the mail. Thanks for a review on it.
First off, I totally love your videos!!!!!!!!!
I have two ev zlx12p's, and a gemini subwoofer (xtr 500sat) which only has speakon outputs, and for inputs it has separate pair of xlr's and 1/4 inch TRS) and a behringer 1204FX mixer.
As of now,
I go from Controller ----> mixer----->2 speakers------>SUB.
But there is very low bass coming out of the sub.
If i do Controller --------> mixer------->SUB ----->TOPS (speakon to XLR/TRS). . . I know i will get bass but, i'm afraid the power from speakon will blow the powered speakers.
How do I get more bass out of the sub in this set up?
Pls advise.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
+Joe Khoury welcome
I was looking at videos, because I'm about to go buy a bit more speakers. I currently use a DDJ-SZ, 2 JBL SRX-815P speakers, and one Mackie SRM1850.
I'm thinking of getting rid of the Mackie, and getting the JBL SRX818 power subs. In the near future, maybe getting 2 more SRX815 speakers for a total of 4. I think that would be my ideal setup for events of 300+ guests. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is that money well spent? I'm doing over 100 events a year, and 35-40 weddings a year. I'm thinking it's time to reinvest into my system a bit.
The issue I'm having is that the music is just not loud enough. I'm usually going directly from DDJ-SZ, into the sub, and from the sub to the tops. The SRX815 speakers have a channel 1 & 2 input that I set at 0, and a master that I put at about +6 or +8. Recently I've had to put it at +10.
I've been playing with the full range pass to the tops as well as the 100Hz setting on both the tops and the sub.
I'm going to try to see if configure the gains as you suggested helps. I'm sure I'm screwing that up pretty bad. I would like to play everything in the green, but I've been pushing into the yellow recently because it's just not loud enough. I always make sure my speakers never hit the limit though.
Sorry for the long message, but any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated.
+Joe Khoury watch my unboxing of the vrx 918sp subs. For the money those subs will crush the srx818sp. And paired with the srx 815p will accomplish 300.
Thanks for the info!

Hey one more question. What about between ev zlx-15p and jbl SRX815p? Which are better. And what you suggested in your video JBL srx818sp sub. I want some thing good that can also handle bigger parties 300+. Thanks!
Great job
Hi rick, greetings from Ireland. Question... I’m using a pair of Alto T15 active tops & I’m using a Hercules RMX controller linked to a Gemini 2 channel mixer. The controller doesn’t have an led display for the 0db thing so where should my knobs on the mixer/speakers be set. Should I turn the speaker volume to about 2 o’clock & control volume thru master vol control on mixer? Should my master vol on my controller be at max, thanks
Like I said in the video with out a led readout all you need to know is keep any volume knob at or below 75% or 3/4 turn. You never want any gains at max. If you can run both at 12 a clock and get the speaker to limit that would be ideal.

Hello again Ive seen this video about 5 times and shared it with other friend djs . It is very helpful. You mentioned that there was a video coming of the PRXs. I know you now use the SRX but I would love to see if you have a review of the PRX App DSP . They had updates made. Thanks A lot!

Sorry I'm so late catching this vid. I'd like to see a video explaining what wattage speakers I would need to select for given sized rooms, as well as speaker placement, and sub setups. Thanks.
+ThomasGrillo there is no such set thing to determine wattage to room size. Way to many perrameters to determine. Like how many people what type of music room layout dimensions of the room. Where you will be placed. The goal of the event. For instance this one venue for a wedding I bring 2 tops 2 subs only. For a prom in the same place I bring 4 tops and 4 subs. More people in the room and I need to fill the room with sound verse the wedding where it needs to be loud on the dance floor but in the back of the room it just needs to be loud enough to make announcements.
how will you connect the 4 tops and 2 subs to the mixer? thanks
Thanks bud!

Hey Rick, this was a really nice video. What do you think about a QSC setup? I own a pair of QSC KW 153 and a pair of KW 181.
+Fernando Velasquez thats a solid set of speakers there. Personally the qsc stuff I think is solid equipment and has shown it through the test of time now. Although I would say with that age the price point there are newer competitive models from jbl and ev that are better for same if not cheaper prices now.
I do things in reverse on the board. I keep my master down lower and increase it throughout the evening. My Mic Channels on my Denon MC6000mk1 and mk2 boards ran extremely hot so this won't be an issue for people to hear speeches. Also, I would hate to accidentally hot one of the channels and have dinner music going full blast and have grandma drop dead of a heart attack. lol

Hi DJ Rick
I'm just starting with DJ'ing - A little too old perhaps but I got to find a hobby - I always wanted to play music in small venues and did it way back in the 80's/90's - Didn't have the technology on hand like today but managed to get by - Now, retired - just want to play music for fun and at friends and family events -
I'm a little rusty to being - This is what I have so far purchased and hoping you can help me along with the setup and requirements need to setup my Dj system -
Hardware - Laptop / ThinkPad T440 or and MACBOOK late model - can upgrade later when I get the hang of this DJ'ing
DJ Controllers - Hercules DJ Console/Controller MK4 2 Channels
Microphones
Speakers - Mission Stereo Speakers with wires no power speakers -
Will get a proper speakers later on if the non-powered speaker with wires don't cut it - Don't have an amp - dont know if I need one to connect my speakers to my controllers
Like I said I'm completely a green starter - Looking for some advise, setup , support - much appreciate for your input and honest opinion PLEASE!!

This is so well explained. it
Cleared a lot of doubts.
I have a very confusing question.
I have two Alto ts 212 1100watt powered speakers. and one Gemini xtr 500 sat powered sub woofer.
i want to hook them all to my controller through my behringer eurorack 1204 mixer.
currently I'm connecting my controller to the mixer. mixer to the subwoofer, subwoofer outputs to the speakers.
now
since the speakers are already powered, when you connect from powered subwoofer to already powered speakers, will the speakers get damaged? ( is it a bad thing?)
now If You connect one cable, first from mixer to Speaker. and then from speaker mix out to sub woofer, will that work?
+Vivek Mangipudi either method will work that is also know as daisy chaining. It is used all the time in the dj world. Depending on manufactors recomendation they might say the go either sub first or tops first. Wither doesnt matter. Some subs will have a high pass out for the speakers which affectivly will cut the bass that the sub is already producing from the subs aloughing them to be the louder since the speakers arent try to rproduce the bass that the sub is producing. Like wise sometimes manufactors such as qsc put this high pass option in there top speakers so you could run to the speakers first then the subs. Overall either method works but if theres a high pass available either on your tops or sub. Sometimes on top speakers its called sub mood which is what my eons say. But the high pass will help your tops a bunch with making them louder and improving the sound of your setul.
Omg I love that song

Hey Ricky, appreciate the video. I got some EVOs and a hercules controller. How do you get them hooked up if the speakers take XLR cords and the controller does not?

Just saw this video in my feed today. It is not possible to destroy most speakers (if not all) due to active speakers containing a hard limiter set to when the peak light illuminates
Not the case with all. I have seen prxs, eons, qsc k12s. And others blown. But it also comes down to distortion.when using a proper gain structure you limit distortion.
Yeah! True gain structure is a must for anything to do with audio. But i have never lead a speaker to blowing itself yet in my career of sound of 4 years
Tis possible. Working for a production / muliop company for 4 years. Its impressive to see the things people find a way to break....
thank you for the information it helped a lot but I also have a question? how do you hook up the denom mc 6000 with another denom mc 6000 to play at the same time?
+Freddy Gonzalez hmmmm not familar with the output and inputs of those mixers. But if you can link one into a spare channel on the other that would work. Or just get another mixer like the yahmaha and like both into that.
DJ Rick Web ok thank you I will try it.
Thanks, can you please do a video on how to chain connecting powered speakers to another?
+Daniel Merriweather Washington its pretty straight forward xlr in to out. On the back of the speakers nothing trivial

Hey great videos. I am new to Dj-ing. I have newmark pro 3. looking to buy set of speakers and can’t decide and need your advise. Which ones are better.
Jbl eon 615 or ev zlx-15p? And what else would I need to get these rockin.
There both pretty even. I swing more to the evs just for better features. And you need stands and cables

What about how to set the bass, treble, mids on controller (denon mc4000) and powered speakers (ev zlx 12)...are these functions set at 12noon on both components?
You shouldn't use a controller to adjust eq since you really need those controls for mixing. A seprate eq mixer should be used in the audio chain or adjusted on the speaker itself

Hi Rick, have you made the same video or similar, for SRX speakers?
I'm trying to setup my srx 812 and 828 at home, i'm a bit confused about the channel signal input and gain input. currently channel signal is a 0, gain is a 6db but i need to setup my mixer like you just tought in the video.
also on the mixer, when your slider goes above 0db, does it distort the signal or it is only when the VU meter goes red that distortion is present?
btw, a 828 in a house, is freaking amazing 😅 stuff is falling of the shelves haha.
Thanx for your input and your time.
0 db for everything. On the mixer you can push like +3db but want to try and stay at 0 if you can

Question on my speakers i have an (input knob) which im guessing is your signal knob you put at half way then turn the volume knob up till it hits the limit. Also can i put the input knob past half way to say 75% or will that bring the limit light on sooner. Is it best to also do the subs before the tops or other way around?
Subs vs tops doesn't matter. Just listen to the sound and make sure the subs sound even with the tops. As far as the volume knobs. There is no said rule. You just dont want to go past 75%. The whole point of that is to avoid adding any unnecessary gain to the system that can distort the audio.

Hey Rick. Great videos but you really do not want to custom eq your tops. I learned to set all my tops and subs at 0db. Let the speaker and subwoofer do work. If you need boost a little, use your gains on your dj mixer / controller.

Is compatible that is why I bought this to run my powered JBL speakers
Question is it your mic at your events because all your music distorts. I hope its the mic because it doesn't make a difference what speakers you use only to have you distort them
Yes the camera mic is what is distorting. Cant handle heavy bass or high db

Very well explained DJ..RW My request???s I need to connect my Mix5 Mixer, that has (L/R 1/4" outs) to a single powered speaker with ONE (1/4" input and one XLR in/out). Plus I need to connect to a house speaker system. But my single powered speaker will be my monitor. Is this possible? and if so what do it need to connect these and will I be able to achieve stereo sound? So MIXed up rght now, pleez help
Couple questions whats the input for the house system and does it have output of any kind? If there is no output option you are going to have to connect to the powered monitor then the house system. And in that route do to the single output of the speaker you will only be able to hook up the house system in mono. Honestly I prefer mono over stereo. But to do this here is what you will need.
1 - 1/4 to 1/4 cable
1 - 1/4 to male xlr cable
you can run the L channel to the 1/4 input on the speaker and the R channel to the xlr input. Then you can run the xlr ouput to the house system. Depending on the inputs of the house system there are a lot of adapter cables to meet the needs for that input just give it a search on amazon.
Hope this helps
That it did, thanks a lot. Just a side note. Should i be concerned about feedback from the monitor with this set up?
Yes. If your using mic. Just watch your placement. And volune level on the monitor

Hi Ricky, I have a few questions in regards to a 21st birthday gig I did a few weeks ago at a house. I used two Mackie Thump 15A. The Mackie Thump 15A has a main volume knob and two gain knobs for each channel. On both speakers, I set the channel knob and main knob to the middle. On my Pioneer DDJ-SR2 the master knob was in the middle as well as both channel gain knobs. Throughout the night as I needed more volume, I was raising the master on my controller instead of raising the volumes up on the speakers. I noticed the highs were a little too much on the sound. I also felt like I wasn't getting enough bass as I would normally expect from Mackies (I used to use the older Mackie Thump models).
1. Is there something I could have done better here?
2. The two speaker stands I used were not that tall. Does speaker stand height effect how much bass you'll get from the speaker?
3. Is this how the new Mackie Thump 15A sounds? Maybe I should use a mixer board next time like the Yamaha mixer you showed in this video?
Number 3 is your answer. If you dont have the ability to adjust how the speaker sounds on the speaker you need a mixer/eq somewhere in the chain to adjust the eq to your liking. Number 2 no it doesn't matter on height once your off the ground you loose that effect. Distance to a wall beside or behind the speaker can increase the bass though
@@DJRickWeb I will try that next time. I do have a small Mackie Mix5 mixer board I can use. I'm sure you have used the Mackie Thump 15A before since you recommended it in your beginner DJ speakers video. Did you ever mess around with the four EQ presets on the back of the speaker to see which one worked best for you? (Music, Live, Monitor, Sub)

Are you not supposed to touch the gain knob on the speaker? I noticed you didn’t use the gain knob on the EON and was wondering why
I set it at nominal. Aka 0db.

Or you could also call it PEAK light. :)
Would there be a difference between a 12 and 15 inch powered speaker if you are using a separate sub?
yes, a 15 inch top gives more bass, and a 12 inch will give more mid
+DJ Dylan correct ^
I purchased a mackie 15 A 1300 watts powered speaker and when I used it for the first time with almost 60-70 % of volume I could smell some sort of wire burn.....is it normal....
That's just the break in smell. All new speakers are like that. It goes away after a couple uses. If it doesnt then your pushing the speakers too hard
@@DJRickWeb it just got delivered day before and tried for 20 minutes .....even the guy from the mackie company said so but I was bit worried....thanks mate for the prompt reply now I can be assured....😊
Thanks for your feedback

Have you got gain brings out bass mid hi loud better don't need to use master volume as much
How would I connect a subwoofer to my mixer if my mixer doesn't have aux sends?And I would want to give my subwoofer its own channel. Would I be able to use mono outs?If so would I need to buy an electronic crossover box for a passive subwoofer.
You need a mixer with a crossover and multiple outs unless you can set to crossover on the amp
@@DJRickWeb Thank you can you recommend any mixer small 12 channel mixers that have these specifications
Edit:I think Im just going to buy an amp that has a crossover.
Do you know if I could use mono outs to hook up a passive subwoofer to my mixer?
You need an amp in between there but yeah
