Hey guys, I'm new here so be nice.
I've recently bought the following kit for a simple 2-channel vinyl DJ set-up:
2x Stanton T62 turntable
1x Pioneer DJM250 mixer
2x KRK Rokit RP6 active studio monitors
all the appropriate cables
When I set this all up for the first time, the sound from the turntables reached the speakers and my headphones, but it was extremely quiet, despite putting everything to top volume! The levels on my mixer were near enough non-existent, and I've found very little help through Google.
I am wondering if I need to buy to preamplifiers to boost the audio signal from my turntables before they reach my mixer.
However, I have read that a mixer should serve as a preamplifier in itself, leading me to believe that something else is awry.
Any advice would be massively appreciated. Just wanna get practicing!
Cheers.
