Hi!
I have started to get gigs as a mobile dj, and was trying my setup for the first time (outside of my house). I linked two subs to each PA in stereo and connected left/right from PA to Vestax VCI-400SE with XLR. I also connected my phone to the controller (line-in) with RCA. I dont have a 3,5mm input in my phone, so I used an OTG cable and connected Dragonfly red (dac) as an adapter. I needed to do this to play spotify (for now). This source was way louder both in volume and bass than Traktor Pro 2 on my laptop. To get enough volume from Traktor i simply had to redline..
- I thought the soundcard in VCI-400 was premium/great/had more headroom?
So I was thinking of selling my setup and buy a controller that works with DJ Pro (windows). This way I can play spotify from a DJ program and not directly from Spotify.
I am considering a cheap controller like the DDJ-400 or the SB3 and an external mixer like the A&H ZED 6 or Yamaha AG06. ZED 6 is half the price of AG06 where I live. I am also considering Pioneer SX2, but if I connect the controller to an external mixer I should get enough power with DDJ-400/SB3?
- Will the output from an external mixer be lower with DDJ-400/SB3 than SX2?
- I have to use adapters on the xlr-cables to fit the outputs on AG06 (if I buy this one). Will this affect the sound?
I appreciate all your thoughts!
