Hey all,
I was wondering what cable do I need to connect one of my RCA master outputs from my DJM 400 into my mbox mini?

Here is a picture of the back of my mixer:

I've never used an mbox, but I'd assume you'd need a phono to quarter inch jack cable.

Here is one option http://www.amazon.com/6-3mm-4inch-Mono-Y-Cable-Splitter/dp/B005749R4Y/ref=pd_vtp_e_2

And here is another

EDIT: Local Radio Shack should have both mono and stereo versions
