DJ: Equipment Setup Guide

🔌 Power

Speakers should be switched on at the wall socket and at the back of the speaker — an LED light will confirm they have power. Check the CDJs and DJM are switched on at the back, and that all power cables are plugged in correctly.

🔊 Speaker connections

You should have 2 XLR cables (large, round connectors) running from the MASTER1 outputs on the back of the DJM mixer to each speaker.

🎛 CDJ connections

The CDJs should connect from their AUDIO OUT ports to two LINE input channels on the DJM (e.g. CH1 and CH3) using a red/black or red/white RCA cable. 

In Leeds, these connect to the DIGITAL ports instead.

🎚 Channel input source

Set the top dial on each channel to LINE if you're playing from a USB stick, or A/B if you're playing from a laptop using Rekordbox, Serato, or Traktor (see HID mode here). 

In Leeds, set dials to DIGITAL.

🎚️ Trim

Turn up the Trim dial on each channel just enough so the channel's LED strip reaches the first orange light (0). Going higher can cause distortion.

⚖️ Balance and volume

Set the Balance dial on the main output channel to the middle (12 o'clock) so sound comes from both speakers. Adjust the master volume to your preferred level.

🎚 Crossfader

Set each channel to THRU (not A or B) and keep the crossfader in the middle. This is just a starting point — you can switch a channel to A or B later if you want to use the crossfader between CDJs.
