Thanks for the reply and I have one more question:
how can speakers with an XLR connection be connected to the back of a controller that doesnt have that same connection ? I've noticed some controllers have this connection where others dont, a bit confusing.......thank you
Hi Phill, some advice please. I live in a flat. The dj-room size is about 40 m² (about 430 square feet in UK?) My first idea was to get the pioneer sdj-05 (about 600 euro). Now the guy from my local shop told me it would be better to go for the KRK rockit 8" for better bass response. A pair of rockit 8" g2 cost the same as the pioneer sdj-05. But i'm worried that 8" will be to loud and will give to much bass :) What is your opinion? My music style is minimal/house/techno.
@tquest1 In all honesty if it's too loud, your neighbours won't care which speakers you went for! I am not familiar with the Pioneers but the KRKs are a good sounding speakers. How loud you choose to push it is up to you... ;)
Hi Phill, I bought the KRK Rokit G2 8s, only problem is I want to connect them to my laptop to be able to use for listening on my laptop in general and to use on Virtual DJ Pro. What cables and equipment do I need to get it connected? (Preferably the best ones for high sound quality not that they make that much difference)
Hi Phill, basically I want to buy a new set of active speakers for my laptop. I use Virtual DJ Pro and a Mixtrack Pro to mix. I currently have a Logitech Speaker System Z623 2.1. I'm loving the Sub Woofer but not the Stereo speakers so much. I'm not worried about my budget and I am looking for speakers that have high quality so I can hear the tracks kicks and snares etc. at its best. Not interested in Studio Speakers though because I have no intention to produce. Any suggestions? Thanks.
If I have an RCA home stereo speakers (they have a line wire), is it possible to change them to RCA cables and use them to dj? how can i tell if they are active or passive?
@xomi3 Active speakers have a built in amp so they'll have a power lead and volume control. You can then use them with any DJ controller - just get the corresponding lead.
Good video :) I'm doing a Music Technology Degree and am aware of all the characteristics you will need for home DJ'ing, apart from that, I found this video very re-assuring and well explained :D Well Done !!! ** :)
Hi phil I have been watching your videos for a few days now and I am really into the learn to dj 50 part course, this Is really helpful as i am only 13 and I really want to be a dj as I love music and have had some experience on a digital deck and a cd deck but I have never had one of my own. I am thinking of getting the Hercules 4-mx to practice on in my room until I am old enough to to out and do a gig. I would really like to see and hear some of your mixes as you and digital dj tips have giv
Excellent advice. And I wish I heard the bit about never ever using your home speakers for parties. Thankfully, my studio monitors survived the night but I was pushing them way too hard.

@JamesDeaconUK You just need 1/8" TRS to twin RCAs off the top of my head.

@JamesDeaconUK KRKs are always good and are good value too - look at the smaller ones in the range.
