    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!!
    Note: I want to Join your site and support you every way to provide some compensation for your support and help but running into a road block when joining using my Paypal - It just freezes -

    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.

    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.

  • @vivekmangipudi3773
    @vivekmangipudi3773 8 лет назад

    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?

    • @DJRickWeb
      @DJRickWeb  8 лет назад

      +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.

    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.

      +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.

      +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.

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

    • @DJRickWeb
      @DJRickWeb  8 лет назад

      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

    • @DJRickWeb
      @DJRickWeb  6 лет назад +1

      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.

    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

    • @DJRickWeb
      @DJRickWeb  6 лет назад

      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.

      Your not using a mixer before outputting to your speakers?

    • @trippnface
      @trippnface 6 лет назад +1

      No mixer, but it is sounding like that is the better idea.
      I picked up a pre amp ( with rca input/outputs) but my powered speaker is XLR input.
      With rca being unbalanced and XLR being balanced, is that an issue?
      Even if it works, I would still be losing out on the " balanced" properties, correct?

      You would lose the grounding of the xlr. You can buy a rca to xlr cable though. I used it multiple times

    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?

    • @DJRickWeb
      @DJRickWeb  5 лет назад +1

      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)

    how do you get the volume so loud at parties if you are keeping it at 0 db? I dont really know how to set speakers up, but you have it hitting 100 db or something, but how do you achieve that when you are only at 0db on your mixer?

    • @DJRickWeb
      @DJRickWeb  5 лет назад

      Mixer db is just how much gain you are adding or subtracting to the sound signal. What you measure on the output end (what your hearing from the speakers) that db does not correlate at all to the mixer db. The output is a measure of how efficient and powerful your amplifier and speaker combination is.

      You can only connect to one. And link the other with a cable or wireless xlr

    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?

    • @DJRickWeb
      @DJRickWeb  5 лет назад

      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.
