  • I started out with just trying to get it going on my laptop with kjams & a microphone.
  • But that didn't sound good and look good, so I hooked up my laptop to my tv through a receiver
  • But using my mic through the laptop mic hole, caused a delay between the audio of the song and the mic
  • This is why you need a mixer. You need the sound of the laptop and the sound of the mic to arrive at the same time. I got this one. Mic goes in channel one, laptop goes in channel 3 or 4 (get the right cable)
  • That mixer's output goes into my receiver now. My receiver allows to get the audio from a different input than the video. This was essential in my setup. I have a basic yamaha 4 hdmi receiver. I turn it to hdmi1, but get the sound from one of the audio inputs, where the mixer goes into (get the right cable)
  • sweet, now I have music and mic arriving in my receiver, and it's going to the speakers and the tv is displaying my laptop
  • now people are tripping over the mic cable and they want a second mic
  • get yourself some wireless mics. the ones i bought are no longer for sale but they are "dual channel" and "uhf" or something
  • now you need some songs though I have to say, just opening youtube and searching a song title + ' karaoke' works pretty darn well as well
  • and some disco lights!
  • my friends like it and say it's the best home setup they know


    Btw, nice effort on the è but you want the other one: fiancé
    It's easy to remember: é the stripe goes on and so does the sound. è the stripe stops and the sound is short

u/marssaxman · 7 pointsr/Beatmatch

I have never heard of "cinch cables", and a web search only turns up what are basically zipties, so I don't know what your friend is on about.

Bring an RCA-to-RCA cable, definitely, since you'll most likely be plugging your controller's RCA output into one of the RCA line inputs on the club's DJ mixer. But I'd also bring either an RCA-to-phono cable, or a pair of RCA-to-phono adapters, because sometimes you'll need to plug into a PA style mixer instead, which will use 1/4" phono jacks for its stereo line inputs.

I also carry an RCA-to-XLR cable - I don't need it very often, but it's nice to know that I'll always be able to plug in, no matter what kind of crazy situation I encounter.

u/djscsi · 7 pointsr/DJs

1: Use a RCA->1/4" M-M cable

2: Buy some of these super handy adapters and use them with a regular RCA cable

u/Arve · 4 pointsr/audiophile

If you want to use that NAD with the speakers, here are the instructions.

  1. Turn off the NAD
  2. On the rear of the NAD is a set of metal jumper connecting "Pre out" and "main in": http://i.imgur.com/ilwyLlc.png - remove these
  3. Use this RCA to 6.3mm TS cable
  4. Connect cable from 3. to the output you just freed up that is labelled pre out.

    I would like to point out that using the NAD is less than optimal:

  5. If all you're connecting is a computer, the volume control in the computer is a lot better
  6. When connecting like this, you've just connected a device that uses a lot of power for no particularly good reason. Again, if all you're connecting is a computer, and all you really want is a volume knob, you'd be much better served by a Schiit Sys or Emotiva Control freak (You may need some additional cables for both) - both of these devices will eventually pay for themselves if you have an electricity bill to pay
  7. The NAD is also an ancient device, and it's not uncommon that it's worn, dusted and actually causes a degradation in sound quality unless you do some work to restore it to prime state. In which case, you could just have gotten one of the two new volume controls from above.
u/checkerdamic · 4 pointsr/vinyl

I've set up numerous jenky make-it-work turntable-to-soundcard lines to sample so I'll try to give you a few options...

(1) Any decent turntable without a built in preamp (look at beginner turntable guide) and this could be new or used --> into a preamp (this is necessary for this setup) --> run RCA-to-1/4 lines into the back of the Apollo Twin (line 1 and line 2), this will keep your left and right channels separately. You need to make sure you can record into both at the same time. You could buy adaptors for your RCA line or a specific RCA-to-1/4 cable. Note: I'm giving you links to cheap ones.

  • With this option you could probably buy a decent used turntable for about $100 and a decent preamp for $50-100.

    (2) Buy a turntable with a built in preamp and do the same set up without a dedicated preamp. So, it would go turntable with preamp on running RCA-to-1/4 cable straight into back of your soundcard. Best options for a new one would be the Audiotechnica LP120 which is about $300 or the Stanton T92 for about $250-300. I personally think the stanton is slightly better on its stats but not by much and the stanton doesn't come with a hardcover, which kind of sucks. However, the stock cartridge on the stanton (Stanton V500) is a DJ cartridge that can take more damage and you can stop it, start it, and back cue and not worry about damaging the stylus or your records. The stock cart of the LP120 (AT95E) is a much better listening cart but you cannot back cue anything or start or stop on the fly without damaging the stylus.

    (3) Buy a turntable with a USB connection and plug in straight into your computer or the USB port on your soundcard (Edit: just realized not all of the Apollo Twin versions have USB inputs, so this might not be feasible, unless you plug straight into your computer). You could pick up Audiotechnica LP120USB which is about $300 or the Stanton T92 for about $250-300. USB port on turntables do not give the best sound quality however and you would probably better to go with one of the other options.

    Overall, I think option 1 would be the cheapest route and be a good option if you eventually getting into vinyl as a medium for listening. Also, these three options are specially tailored to your setup and there are other ways to do this. The best quality for vinyl to digital is to have a nice soundcard on a desktop that has dedicated RCA inputs and then you don't have to use adaptors.
u/CPOx · 4 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

I use an ultra basic setup to connect my LSR305 to my desktop PC which does not have a dedicated sound card (motherboard audio jack only).

I plug a 3.5 mm to stereo RCA female into the motherboard's audio jack and then use these RCA male to 1/4" TS male cables to connect to the speakers.

u/paintwalls · 3 pointsr/synthesizers

Would having two sets of these be the right solution? Nord -> KP3 -> monitors

u/SatansF4TE · 3 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

I'd second the LSR308's, the bigger 8" driver makes a huge difference to bass response which is pretty key for hip hop IMO and you'd have to buy a separate speaker amplifier for the ELACs.

The LSR308s take balanced XLS or 6.3mm balanced TLS / unbalanced TS input, so you'll want a pair of RCA -> TS cables (or RCA -> RCA + adapters) to connect the Modi.

Unfortunately there's no pre-amp out on the non-Uber Magni, so you won't have an easy reach volume control - and the volume controls on the back of powered monitors are often awkward to adjust, so you could also consider adding a cheap pre-amp such as the Schiit Sys ($49, very good for the price, and fits with your current stack well) for easy volume control/input switching. If you do get one, you'll need an extra pair of RCA cables to connect it.

Other users have mentioned the sheer size of the speakers, so definitely worth considering a pair of speaker stands too - they definitely won't fit on most desks.

Overall that would cost between $425 and $475 depending on exactly where you buy and sales etc, and you won't get significantly better around that price (although personal taste plays a role). It also leaves you an easy future upgrade route if you wanted it (Adding a subwoofer, or upgrading the Modi.)

u/BeardedAlbatross · 3 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

At minimum you'd need a way to control volume and an RCA to 1/4" cable.

u/poochzag · 3 pointsr/headphones

Best way to do this is use your Magni 2 uber as a preamp. So connect RCA to TRS cables (or RCA cables with TRS adapter) from the Magni 2 preamp outs, to your JBL LSR305's

RCA to TRS example: http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-Cable-CPR202-Dual-Inch/dp/B000068O17

TRS adapter if you already have RCA to RCA cable: http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-Cable-GPR101-Inch-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3S

I used those adapters for my JBL LSR305's because I already had an RCA cable laying around. You'll be able to control volume with your magni 2 volume knob

Edit: spelling

u/KidFirstContact · 3 pointsr/cassetteculture

I have a Scarlett 2i2 and have done this very thing. Here’s what you need:

  1. Something from your line out that splits into a right and left - either regular phono plugs that you can attach a TS adapter to (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078DSKHSB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.SmACbWEFMVSV)

    or something that ends in 2 TS male plugs. Whether you’re coming from 3.5mm or phono you can find a cable for it:

u/MrEleventy · 3 pointsr/headphones

You'd need these. And to set the JBL's input sensitivity to -10 for unbalanced inputs.

u/Umlautica · 3 pointsr/audiophile

You'll want to connect the LSR-305 to the PB-1000 using RCA-1/4" like this. Then connect your PC to you PB-1000 using a 1/8"-RCA like this.

The PB-1000 have a fixed 80Hz high-pass on the RCA output so it's important that you use them to get the most out of your LSR-305.

u/ocinn · 3 pointsr/audiophile

https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/dp/B000068O17/

Use this cable from the "output" of your Valhalla. Red for right, black for left.

u/metafizikal · 2 pointsr/audiophile

The JBLs take TS (1/4") or XLR connections. The simplest thing to do is get an RCA to TS cable, like this. You don't need speaker wire because the amplifiers are built in to the speakers.

If you sell off your Magni and get a Magni 2 Uber, you can wire it like this:
PC --USB--> Modi --RCA--> Magni 2 Uber --> pre-outs to JBLs.

u/john1475 · 2 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

Your preamp has RCA jacks and the speaker has XLR and 1/4" TRS. Your best bet is probably RCA to 1/4". Like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000068O17/ref=pd_aw_fbt_267_img_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=H8FY2K4285TM0N3041QE.

u/MankYo · 2 pointsr/audiophile

>Is there any guide on the first method you mentioned?

Your Behringer UMC22 has what looks like a 6.35 mm line level input, and a 6.35 mm instrument level input. If those are both line-level inputs, to get output from your CD player into that, you'll need a couple mono RCA to 6.35 mm cables (whatever brand/length is fine):

https://www.amazon.com/d/RCA-Cables/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/B000068O17/

You may need to configure those inputs in software.

If the inputs on the Behringer aren't both line level inputs, as in if the mic input is only a mic level input, you may need to figure out how to undo phantom mic power into input 1, and/or involve a DI box for input 2. (At that point, you've spent around 3-4 x the price of an external CD drive on new audio equipment.) Check your Behringer product manual to be sure.

Hopefully you'll be able to use the included or other software to fade and/or pan those channels appropriately into the original stereo mix. The audio production subreddits would be able to provide detailed guidance for that.

I do not recommend going the route described above if there are any other options.

You might want to check if your MBP or an included/optional dongle has a 3.5 mm optical or stereo audio input. If so, you could grab the digital signal directly from the CD player, or get analog stereo without the mess of the UMC22.

u/MadAsAHat · 2 pointsr/audioengineering

It's just that easy, you'll want to make sure your gain structure is soft on the receive and heavier on the send, since these units tend to be a bit noisy.

u/Konstantine_13 · 2 pointsr/audiophile

You will need some sort of adapter/converter. B&O likes to use DIN style connections on it's systems for connecting to more proprietary B&O devices. Count the number of pins and google "#-pin DIN to rca" and you should find cables like this that should work.

Once you are able to get RCA outputs from the B&O system, you just need RCA to 1/4" TS cables to connect to the 2i2. Then either use software to monitor the inputs or just enable "direct monitoring" on the 2i2 and it will play what is connected to the inputs.

u/Skitch_n_Sketch · 2 pointsr/audiophile

For the Nobsound you'll need this to go from your PC to the Nobsound unit. Find a length that works for you, any wire with decent reviews is fine as long as it's 3.5mm to RCA. From the Nobsound to speakers, you'll need these. Again, find a length that works for you.

u/covertash · 2 pointsr/headphones

It's almost cliche to recommend this but the Schiit Magni 2 will fit the bill. You would just need TRS to RCA cables to feed from the 2i2's line out into the Magni 2's RCA inputs like these, as an example:

https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/dp/B000068O17/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482890944&sr=8-1&keywords=trs+to+rca

u/adrianmonk · 2 pointsr/audio

If you want to hear two sources at the same time, you want a mixer (which is the opposite of a splitter).

A mixer can be digital or analog, but basically they aren't really consumer-oriented devices, and the digital ones tend to be pretty expensive. So practically speaking, analog is the way to go. (That means you would not use your Kenwood receiver's optical input, but one of its analog RCA inputs.)

For an example of a mixer, you could get a cheap Behringer 502 mixer for $40.

If the XBox doesn't have a 3.5mm output, then you will need a digital-to-analog converter for it. There are tons available, but here is a cheap one for $20. With this converter, your two sources (XBox and Echo Dot) will both be available as analog outputs.

From there, to hook it up, you would need:

  • Two 3.5mm to dual 1/4" stereo breakout cables like this one from Hosa for $5 each. One of them would plug into LINE IN 2/3 on the Behringer mixer and the other would plug into LINE IN 4/5.
  • One dual 1/4" to dual RCA stereo cable like this one from Hosa for $6. This would go from the Behringer mixer's MAIN OUT to one of the RCA inputs on your Kenwood receiver.

    To operate it, you'd:

  • Use the 2/3 and 4/5 LEVEL knobs on the mixer to adjust the levels of each sound source. Set the BAL knobs to the center position.
  • Turn the 1 LEVEL knob down to zero since you don't have anything plugged in there.
  • Control the overall volume with the MAIN MIX knob. Or set that to something reasonable and use your receiver to control the volume.

    This is all kind of awkward, but unfortunately I don't know of a mixer that has a more consumer-oriented design and uses 3.5mm or RCA connectors.

    TLDR: Anything that isn't analog (XBox), convert it to analog with a digital-to-analog converter. Use mixer to combine signals. Run mixer's output to an input on the receiver.

    Edit: Thanks for the gold. OP delivers. Also one more thing I forgot to mention: if the Xbox is set to send a surround sound signal to the optical out, that digital to analog convertor won't be able to handle it. You can either get a different converter that can also decode surround sound, or you can change the Xbox audio settings to send a simpler format, which is probably called something like "Linear PCM".
u/create-a-useraccount · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Your DAC has stereo RCA connectors so you would need a RCA-to-1/4 inch TS patch cable. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/dp/B000068O17

u/travvvvvvv · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

You could get a RCA>1/4" or RCA>XLR adaptor and use it with pretty much any USB interface.

u/19eddiedean19 · 2 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

Yea, I don't have it yet but plan on buying this [active speaker kit](JBL ACTPACK Active Studio Monitor Enhancement Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I1DGYDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_AurUAbTBTTHKG)
Its a pain to reach behind to adjust the volume on each speaker but you don't do it as often as you'd think. This is more to encourage the wife to use the system easier.

Unless you don't think the cable is going to reach you should be able to plug the turntable straight into the switch I believe.

I used these [ cables ] (Hosa CPR-202 Dual 1/4 inch TS to Dual RCA Stereo Interconnect Cable, 6.6 feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068O17/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JyrUAbKADDQYB) to connect the switch output to each of the speakers

And you would need [this cable](AmazonBasics 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA Adapter Cable - 8 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D5H8KO2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8ArUAbK3ZZJAT) for the Chromecast.

u/ggfools · 2 pointsr/audiophile

Well, you only have optical audio out, i don't know if your TV's remote controls the volume of this output or not, but hopefully it does. what you need is a DAC for optical audio, something like the Fiio D3 would probably do just fine (and could be powered by one of the USB ports on the TV) then you just need a pair of RCA to TRS cables like this connecting the a5+ would be pretty much the same, just use normal RCA cables instead of RCA to TRS

u/randomdoohickey · 2 pointsr/Twitch

If you have to ask which you should use between a condenser or dynamic, the answer is cardioid pattern dynamic. A traditional large-diaphragm condenser like the AT2020/AT2035 is just way too noisy and sensitive outside of a sound booth.

If you're willing to spend ~$250 and interested in better headphones, I'd serious look into the combo of the Audio-Technica BPHS1 headset and one of the new "HD" Behringer audio interfaces like the Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD. This combo will blow the doors of any "1337 gaming" headset.

If you want to go for a traditional arm, the $100 Audio-Technica AT2005USB + Neewer NB-39 combo is a good start without having to bother with an audio interface just yet. You don't need a pop filter either as a mic like this has a pop filter built-in. Those ~$15 microphone arms you see on Amazon are comically short and "cheap" in every sense of the word.

If you do get an audio interface, this will replace the soundcard on your PC and you'll connect your existing PC speakers to the audio interface's output (you'll likely need adapters or converter cables like this or this to connect you're existing speakers).

Regardless of your mic situation, a compressor VST plug-in to OBS like ReaComp from the ReaPlugs VST FX Suite should be all you need unless you have a serious background noise problem (OBS's built-in compressor and gate suck ass). Then you can start looking into FIR filters and gates, but I'd only use them if needed.

u/WaffleMePlease · 2 pointsr/vinyl

That price is for one speaker and not a pair. It's a studio monitor so they have very accurate sound that some people don't like because bad recordings will sound bad. Also you'd also need a cable like this. https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/dp/B000068O17

The Mackie CR4s are competent, good value monitors.

You can plug your computer speakers into the Duo-Capture using a suitable adapter. If you've got an old hi-fi, you could also use it with this cable.

You don't have a balanced source. Buy this.

You can just use a cable like this to connect those speakers to the Airport Express.

If you want to be able to switch between inputs (such as your Airport and your MacBook/iPhone/whatever), you can get a Schiit Sys and a cable like this to go between the Sys and the JBLs.

You don't really need a Modi or any DAC. The DAC in any of your devices is plenty capable. If you're looking to spend $100 somewhere, add it to your speaker budget.

I have a Yamaha RX-V473 receiver and the JBL LSR305 monitors. How can I connect them to get audio out of my monitors while using a PS4?

I recently purchased a cable (link below) but unfortunately it doesn't work as the A/V Out ports on the receiver weren't intended for that kind of connection according to the user manual. Looks like they were meant for output to a video recording device. It appears I MUST connect the monitors to the Speaker ports which accept speaker wire or banana plugs only. I'd love to not buy any more cables but not sure that is possible. Could I strip the insulation off the TS to RCA cable and connect that way?

u/sircod · 2 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

Here are some amp/DAC recommendations from the sidebar, and here are some from another reviewer on reddit. Since the 305s are powered you don't need an amp, just a standalone DAC. You will also probably need an appropriate cable since most DACs have RCA outputs instead of XLR/TRS you might find on an audio interface.

u/unowndanger · 2 pointsr/vinyl

Yup, it's USB Type B. To plug from the Pre Amp to the interface, you'd need RCA to 1/4inch cables. I used these to make the connection.

It's like a constant hiss in the background, it's noticeable when I am not speaking, but it's always present even when talking.

I have Behringer UCA202 Audio Interface which is connected to my PC as well. I use these cables to connect the main output to the UCA202 then that connects to my PC via USB port. I also connect the mixer in via USB port as well.

u/Quest_for_Humanity · 1 pointr/BudgetAudiophile

Thanks for looking on eBay! I've decided (for now) to make my life a little bit easier and just hook up the speakers to the turntable, and I got an RCA volume controller for like $7 which is a lot less money haha. So now, hopefully, this will be my chain.

I'm just connecting the RCA volume controller in between the turntable and speakers, and then will have an RCA to TS cable to connect the controller to the speakers. I'm hoping this is all I need!

My thinking is that I'll evaluate how much I miss not having good speakers to play Spotify out of, and if it's worth going through the huge hassle of getting the switcher etc. Maybe when my budget is higher I'll be less anxious. In total, I just spent a little over $200 on this project...not bad!

u/sigt_babe · 1 pointr/audiophile

I am planning on buying a pair of JBL LSR305s because of the meemee. I want to connect them to my PC. Should I use the Monoprice DAC? I like the clean look of it as it would fit my desk aesthetic. Also, how would I connect the speakers? I understand I would have to PC>USB> DAC but the speakers would connect with 1/4 inch TS to RCA to which connection? The pre out or line out? (on the DAC) Am I even selecting the right cable?

u/tmccoy00 · 1 pointr/Beatmatch

A simple RCA to 1/4" TS Jack cable should work.

What speakers do you have, as it is worth checking the 1/4" input can support unbalanced connection (TS) and not just balanced (TRS) that your controller doesn't have.

u/Roppmaster · 1 pointr/headphones

>Would this be sufficient?

Yep.

>Also scarlett's outputs are balanced and Magni's inputs are unbalanced. So is it going to be a problem? Or am I just confused? Lol

In this instance, it's not an issue.

From the manual:

LINE OUTPUTS: LEFT and RIGHT – 2 x ¼” (6.35 mm) TRS jack sockets; +10 dBu output level
(variable), electronically balanced. Either ¼” TRS (balanced connection) or TS (unbalanced
connection) jack plugs can be used.

u/TheDarkExpanse · 1 pointr/synthesizers

Well as I figure the OT has basic amp jack for audio inputs (1/4”). HOSA makes most all combinations you can think of for good price. Check the link below, assuming the record player has RCA outputs, you can just plug directly from the record player to the OT.

This is the back of the turntable. https://imgur.com/a/Olla7


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000068O17/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

Would that cable work from the turntable output to the focusrite inputs? Or would I need to have a phono pre amp in between?

If you don't have a pro studio, get the KRK 5's rather than the larger models. Be aware that the 5 and 6 lack a bit of bass response, but if you have another setup with a sub to test on you should be fine.

This was recommended to me as a good USB sound device to hook up a pair of monitors. I ordered one and it's currently in transit. It seems to be a good price and quality.

For cables, with this particular device, I got an RCA + 1/4 inch stereo cable. The RCA goes into the USB device's output, the 1/4 inch into the KRK's input. Balanced or unbalanced shouldn't matter if you aren't stretching cables beyond just a desk setup. Be aware that high-polling device, mainly mice, may cause noise if they get close to your cables though.

I know little about MIDI keyboards, but I've heard good things about Oxygen and Axiom. I'd say go with 49 keys.

Also, passing on advice here: When starting your system, turn your monitors on last, after your computer, with the volume on the back all the way down, then turn them up and use. When you are ready to shut down, turn the volume all the way down on the back and then power the monitors off first, then your computer. In other words, monitors are last on, and first off.

u/PhoneSteveGaveToTony · 1 pointr/Beatmatch

My pioneer also only has RCA out, so I run RCA to 1/4” to my mixer, then XLR 1/4” to XLR from my mixer to my speakers.

u/jjaldridge2009 · 1 pointr/makinghiphop

Hey guys, I'm looking to expand from mixing with headphones and getting some studio monitors for my setup.

I use FL Studio\Ableton to produce, and these are the monitors\DAC I plan on grabbing. Pretty entry level stuff, but they are well reviewed. Am I missing anything or should these pieces do the trick?

u/z3rocool · 1 pointr/audiophile

I don't own the BX5, but i'm guessing it has 1/4" jacks so you should be good with that.

Only pain is going to be controlling the volume, you will have to do it from the input device. (BX5, similar to the KRK monitors I own, have volume control per speaker on the back, which makes it inconvenient to adjust)

I personally have never used this, but it might be worth trying -

(I just searched for volume control, or line level volume control)

you will then need http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-Cable-CPR202-Dual-Inch/dp/B000068O17/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1369926629&sr=8-2&keywords=RCA+to+1+4

There is also some cables for iphones that output rca. Things might be different now, but if I remember correctly the way the sound was routed to the headphone jack was actually different than the output from the apple connector thingy.

You might be able to find a iphone dock that has RCA output and volume control. I saw this one http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PIDOCK1-Universal-Docking-Charging/dp/B0056IB3DY/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1369927022&sr=8-9&keywords=iphone+dock+rca looks kinda crappy though.

volume coming out of your normal PC sound card will probably sound fine. A cheap (sub $20) usb soundcard might make all the difference if your soundcard isn't so hot.

u/ffats · 1 pointr/audio

Yes, your adapter will work for the computer audio.

And your piano in stereo will be nice! Just need the correct cable. Assuming the piano has Left and Right outputs on TS cables, this one will do ya:

Hosa CPR-202 Dual 1/4" TS to Dual RCA Stereo Interconnect Cable, 2 Meters https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068O17/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IZaQCbMH85MAD

u/SalaciousB · 1 pointr/Beatmatch

With one of these.

TRS Booth Out from the DDJ SX2> RCA Line in on the DM40s.

u/teddygrammusic · 1 pointr/makinghiphop

No preamp needed. There are two mono (L/R) 1/4" outputs. so just make sure you have a cable to get both channels recorded (I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/dp/B000068O17/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1478984046&sr=8-5&keywords=stereo+hosa+cable)

If you just have a regular soundcard with a 1/8inch input jack, I think you could use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-159-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B005HGM1D6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478984046&sr=8-1&keywords=stereo+hosa+cable

Or you can just use the headphone out, which is just a 1/4" stereo out.

u/smithincanton · 1 pointr/retrobattlestations

What inputs do you have? It'll be Mono 1/4" to RCA to what ever you can capture.

u/beyonddevnull · 1 pointr/audiophile

That makes sense, thanks for breaking it down. Would there be a way to handle control of the volume with that? For example, would there be a device I could put between the PC and the sub that would control the overall volume? Or is it the case where each speaker/sub has their own volume control that I present on the device, then I use the software volume on the computer to control it?

EDIT:

So It would be:

  • PC (3.5mm->RCA) -> Sub -> RCA to 1/4" TRS -> LSR305's

    so is it possible somewhere is there to put a volume knob to control everything or is it best to regulate that from the PC?

    That build takes the price to around $600 ish probably after the cables.

    I have heard of a build that used something like the Polk Audio PSW10 + Micca's. Is that a viable build I could do for less, or would the price of what connects the two bring the total cost of the system into a similar price bracket?

    Also do the JBL's have both a sub and tweeter in them each already? Is a separate sub just needed for very specific use cases? If that is the case, I may just be fine with that already. Thanks again?
u/Tabbou · 1 pointr/audiophile

I'd recommend using a DAC and an RCA to 1/4 inch adapter cable. You could use your onboard audio with Amazon's suggested cable, but it's generally recommended to avoid onboard audio if possible.

u/wondroushippo · 1 pointr/audiophile

The most elegant way would be to get a Schiit Sys and its passive volume control. You can use the Sys as 1 in to switch to 2 out. Or you could upgrade to the Magni 2 Uber which has variable preamp outputs.

Or, get RCA Y-adapters from your Modi 2, and then add a passive volume attenuator or a monitor controller to control volume.

And this cable should work, I use a 3.5mm to dual-TS version myself: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/dp/B000068O17/

u/lucasgelfond · 1 pointr/audiophile

Laptop and iPhone. No more than a single output. When I was considering the SVS SB1000s, I got this response from /u/Umlautica:

>You should connect your source directly to the SVS SB-1000 RCA Line In and then use the SB-1000 RCA Line Out to the XLR or 1/4" input on the LSR305.

> You can use a cable like this RCA->1/4" between the sub and speakers.

u/Pat-Roner · 1 pointr/audiophile

Don't understand if you understand the wiring?

In a common scenario, you would need two of these from the pc's in to two channels, and this or this.

What kind of speakers do you have?

And for the headset, the adapter is a 3,5mm to 6,3mm which costs a couple of dollars.

u/atom808 · 1 pointr/audiophile

u/AlabamaPanda777 · 1 pointr/BudgetAudiophile

They have instrument cable hookups... I think something like this (just the first one I found) should work but... can the DAC adjust the volume of the rca out?

u/imontesiri · 1 pointr/vinyl

So all my equipment is coming within a week. I just want to make sure I buy all the cables I need. From my turntable to the preamp will be the RCA cables. Then I would use these to connect the preamp to my JBL-LSR305. Then I would like to use these to connect to my phone or laptop to the speakers. What else would I need? Would you guys also recommend adding a RCA level controller to control the volume? Thank You.

u/MidnightWombat · 1 pointr/livesound

You actually seem to have a good understanding of things! Basically what you want to set up is called a "mix-minus" on your Aux 'MON' send channel. You would plug the Aux MON SEND into the house system.

You would not want to plug your HDMI Audio Converter into the TAPE INs, but rather into channels 9/10 or 11/12 using an RCA -> 1/4" cable or adapters.

Now you would plug the MON SEND into whatever sound system is in a venue. Now what comes out of that MON SEND will only be what you turn up on the Green AUX MON knobs. So during the game you'd have channels 9/10 with your game audio turned up going to the house system, but your commentators (plugged into channel 1 and 2?) only turned up on the Main faders going to your computer. Then when the game is over you can turn up the AUX MON knob on your commentator channels so that they will go out of the MON SEND to the house system.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

u/e60deluxe · 1 pointr/hometheater

your TV has a built in dac and your TV remote control operates it. you want to use the analog audio outputs of your TV, go into your TV audio options and set the analog output to Variable and TV speakers to off.

put cables such as these up to your TV and the subwoofer:

I'd just like to let everyone know that a solution has been found to my problem. It works perfectly...

Someone told me to buy one of these...

http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-Cable-CPR202-Dual-Inch/dp/B000068O17/

And on the mixer... Plug the RCA ends into the USB IN slots... and the 1/4'' ends into the MAIN OUT slots like this...

http://i.imgur.com/QNJ8vNj.jpg

It works perfectly... I can hear my own voice in my headset, I can hear all the audio from my PC including my friends on Skype, and they can hear me over Skype as well.

The only gotcha is... I have to keep "TO PHONES" pressed, and "TO MAIN MIX" up. When I'm talking to my friends on Skype and I press "TO MAIN MIX" they hear themselves and get some wicked feedback. I'll just simply never hit that, as I have no need to.

The monitors you have will accept unbalanced input too. As an example, if you needed to connect to a phone or computer headphone jack to these monitors, you would use something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-159-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B005HGM1D6

For devices with RCA output (e.g. CD player), use something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/d/RCA-Cables/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/B000068O17/

u/plazman30 · 1 pointr/ZReviews
  1. That's not a DAC.
  2. You don't need XLR. Those monitors will let you use a 1/4" jack.
  3. Massdrop SDAC is $80.00

    Computer goes USB to SDAC. SDAC goes RCA to 305s using this cable.

    You'll either need to get a pre-amp or adjust your volume using your computer.

    You other option is to buy a Micca Origen G2. That's a DAC with a built in pre-amp. if you get the Origen, you would need this cable.
u/nm1000 · 1 pointr/piano

Yes. The MP11SE has 1/4 audio inputs that that mixes with the MP11SE audio. You should hear it in the the headphones. It has it's own volume fader.

If your computer has 1/8 stereo output you'll need a 3.5 mm TRS to Dual 1/4 inch TS Stereo Breakout Cable like this. A phone or MP3 player would use that.

If your computer has RCA phono line outputs then you'll need two RCA phono to 1/4" TS cables like this pair. Note they might come as a pair or individually.





u/blackjakals · 1 pointr/audio

I haven't done this before but my guess would be that you would need to get a cable that has a dual rca connection on one side and a dual TRS or TS connection on the other. You would then plug in the TRS side of the cables into your monitors and the RCA side into the RCA output of your Sony receiver. The cable looks like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/dp/B000068O17?keywords=trs+to+rca&qid=1540768856&s=Electronics&sr=1-3&ref=sr_1_3

​

u/St3fanAx3l · 1 pointr/audio

here you go.

as /u/John2nhoj already stated, the LP60 has a built in phono pre. Connect with this cable and you're set.

Bear in mind you should use the shortest possible cable length on this one, though, as it's unbalanced and you could introduce unwanted noise with long cable runs. If you can make the 3 or 6 foot version work you're set.

u/RingoStarr39 · 1 pointr/vinyl

I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-UMC204HD-BEHRINGER/dp/B00QHURLCW/
They record up to 192 kHz and 24 bit audio which is more than enough for any analog format.
If your receiver has tape outputs just connect them to the 2 XLR inputs on the interface with something like these: https://www.amazon.com/d/RCA-Cables/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/B000068O17/

> I have a feeling my issue is the usage of the conversion cable

Spot on. The way you have it set up now, you are combining two channels into one balanced input. That's not at all how it should be. You want to:

a) Get two RCA-TS cables (or a 2xRCA to 2xTS cable). Basically, buy this.

b) Turn +48v off (why on earth would you want to send +48v dc to your turntable?)

c) Plug one TS into the left line in and one into the right.

d) Put both inputs to "mic/line"

u/WileyStudio · 1 pointr/audiophile

The phono preamp will give you RCA line level outputs. You would connect it to your interface the same way you would with an electronic keyboard. You could use an RCA to 1/4” TS cable like this:

Let's see, that's $9.47, plus $24.18, plus $66.99, plus $73.45, plus $126.99 = $293.02 presuming you have your old PS3 cables.

Spend the extra $50.01 - you won't regret it. If you can't possibly do it, then substitute the Pioneers with Micca MB42X's at $79.95 dropping the total to $245.98

The absolute cheapest setup that I can think of to record the Krome would be a Behringer UCA202 audio interface and Reaper for a DAW. Get a dual 1/4" to RCA cable - something like this and you should be in business. 1/4 end to the keyboard, RCAs to the interface. USB for MIDI (to record notes - the cable mentioned in a comment above will do nicely). Should give you a pretty simple way to record the keyboard, although Reaper can be a bit confusing to set up. That said, it's cheap, has an unrestricted free trial, and is extremely powerful.

Now, this won't give you much in the way of room to grow if you decide to start a collection, but it should get the job done.

>Is there a way to route the TV to my sound card for it to output to my monitors?

Why are you trying to route the TV to a computer soundcard?

What kind of sound output does the TV have? Does it have RCA out? I can't tell from LG's website what kind of audio out it has. If it has RCA out and you want to listen to the TV through the speakers just buy a set of these cables to connect to the sub, as I imagine the TV has RCA outs.
http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-Cable-CPR202-Dual-Inch/dp/B000068O17/ref=sr_1_2

Then get two XLR cables and connect the monitors to the sub.

If you want to listen to the computer's sound through the TV, are you using HDMI? If so the above solution will work. If not, you may want a $40 audio mixer that has 1/4" outs to go into the sub.

Let me know if I am completely misunderstanding you're problem.

u/itisrocketscience · 1 pointr/vinyl

No on the cord. that's stereo 1/8" to 2 mono 1/4"

You will need RCA MALE TO 1/4" MONO MALE.

That volume controller should work fine.

TT -> RCA M to RCA M -> Inline Level controller -> RCA M to 1/4 MALE -> Speakers

u/The_Derpologist · 1 pointr/Beatmatch

A pioneer mixer (assuming you are talking about a DJM) has RCA inputs. You can get cables to adapt from your interface's 1/4" output to the RCA input of the DJM. I bought one of these a few months ago for use in a live show. Worked great.

u/capacitors · 1 pointr/vintageaudio

Sure no problem! If you just want a line-level output from the receiver (before the audio signal goes through the volume and tone controls) you could connect a stereo RCA to 1/4" cable to the tape out jacks.

u/whiskeyjamboree · -2 pointsr/audiophile

All a phono pre does is bring the signal to the correct level. It basically takes an inaudible quiet signal and makes it louder.

Buy one for under 20 on Amazon. You're not going to hear the difference with your speakers.

You'll run the rca out of the table into the pre. Then this cable to your speakers. Or just an rca to a single 1/4 if only one speaker has an amp in it and powers both.
