Finally, someone with some XLR sense. Thanks.

Very clear explanation - thanks man answered all my questions

I found you last week, subscribed. Best tutorial I have found on the subject. Thank you.

Great explanation of the benefits of using XLR in my set-up or anybodies.

Excelent Video! Thank you for all the info, pretty straight forward.

You're very welcome!

Nice explanation

Thank you for your video, it helps explain some things I needed to look out for as an entry level DJ. My question would be if I can get away with buying a short RCA to XLR cable (6-10 ft) and having a much longer XLR to XLR cable run 15+ ft) to the speaker without the possibility of the sound quality being heavily degraded. I would prefer this if it doesn’t have any major issues because it certainly would be the most cost-effective method.

Hey Jordan, can I get your opinion on the Radial J+4 2-channel signal level driver? Do you recommend this stereo preamplifier if we want to use up a stereo 1/4 inch balanced inputs on a mixer (I have a ProFx10v3) instead of using up 2 valuable XLR inputs?

What’s the best RCA cable to use for a powered speaker that only has an XLR output ?

To connect a powered subwoofer fir home theatre can you use a microphone xlr ? Or dose it yave to be something different?

Can you use a RCA to XLR cable converter that goes into your audio mixer and get the same performance result as with the RCA to big Jack cable converter you suggets?

Very nice video! I've been returning to rewatch it already a few times, for different bits of info that I needed in different situations. Say Jordan, what if I need to convert XLR to RCA? My DJ mixer is certainly more than 3m (10 feet) from my AV receiver. Is there a proper way to convert XLR signal from my DJ mixer so that I can plug in RCA into my AV receiver and (possibly) not lose in quality of sound? Thanks!

Great video. From my mixer, from the headphone out I run a 1/4" TRS to dual RCA into a sub. It works fine. Any issue with this? I do this because my other aux out has a monitor hooked up.

I just wouldn’t run it longer than 10ft.

So If am trying to connect my DJ controller to an external mixer is better to use the unbalanced output to the stereo inputs on the mixer (1/4 inch for example) than the XLRs on the controller to the same inputs on the mixer, is that right?

I have a stereo that says the RCA input is "DC voltage 1.2V, impedance 47 kiloohm." It makes me think it supports the same line level as XLR. Will I have the same level if I convert the XLR signal from a console to the RCA from the stereo?

Question: when it comes to the distance/length for RCA cables, is it the actual length of the cable or the physical distance from your equipment to the speaker that matters? For example would a 50ft RCA cable sound the same as a 10ft RCA if the speaker is 10ft away?

No it wouldn't be the same

Wandering if there’s any benefit to xlr to rca cables. My amp has both but receiver only rca. Only 3ft run.

Hi, i have a question here, and would be very happy if you can answer. Im planning to get a DJ Controller so i can learn, im not even new but would love to start learning DJing. I see the Numark ns4fx on the table, do you recommend it? since it has RCA and XLR port, but not sure if it is a good one. your reply will be highly appreciated.

Also can I convert my mono mixer into a digital mixer?

When is it balanced, If I used 2 RAC males to One XLR female? ( Y Cable) thanks.

Does an active DI box provide an uplift to the output to a normal line level?

It does, but for the same price you can buy a small mixer which is better in every way. Plus, you still need a mixer to power your active DI box…

I am looking for a xlr to rca adapter ? Can anyone recommend?

What if I run a 20m XLR cable from my mixer and use an XLR/RCA adapter to connect to my speaker? That's basically a balanced signal until the very end, right? My guess is that that's fine, but I'm not sure...

I can follow your logic. I'd need to test it to be certain.

Have the new ddj flex 4 and it only has rca. Whats the best route????

You’ll get more level if you usr a small mixer.

it still bothers me why we use RCA for high-end DJ turntables / Media players, instead of XLR or min-XLR. Like the gear in this space is constantly evolving, we've had major improvements in the turntable space for the past few years, but still all phono cables and phono inputs on mixer are RCA. Anyone knows is there a limitation to the phono signal that explains why it should be via RCA?

what about going rca to a yamaha mg10 mixer then xlr out to speakers?

Can I use rca to xlr to get a balance signal

@dj_deepak480

No u not going to get that

Great video.. Just my thoughts I am a dj.. so when I use rca to Xlr minimum is 20 ft or lower.. 20 feet should be okay.. 25 feet as you said will take away from the audio.. I use 20 feet rca to xlr hosa cables.. I have no issues what’s so ever.. however cable wires matters.. you can’t use a cheap cables and expect good results.. i reccomend high end cables such as hosa..

I’m hoping the D.I. box wil eliminate my ground loop hum.

Finally lol

So I bought a TASCAM DP-006 and I have a DDJ-XP2. I’m getting a 4-Channel Audio Interface BT USB Audio Mixer Sound Board Mixing Console Z3U0. How or what else do I need in order to record my sets?

@chappie505ec

Will the TASCAM work or do I need something else? Ideally what I would like to do is rec songs or my sets onto a usb3 and take it anywhere and plug it into a computer or mixer and have the music on it! Could you give me some advice. Please
