Most beginners don't know these basics. It is nice you took the time to make sure they are doing it right.
Just doing what we can
Good job Joey! Very thorough & patient. Keep it up.
Fantastic, thanks for posting! In other videos I felt like I was learning more from people in the comments than the person in the video. You on the other hand, are a big help :)
Thank you. Glad it helps
Thanks for the information. You filled a lot of knowledge gaps for me.
Good stuff bro its always good to boost the new djs not put them down but build them up peace

how does the bass sound on these will this sound good in small hall with high ceilings. I got two Samson Expedition old speakers need to do a small halloween party 150 ppl any recommendations for setup. Need the bass to hit hard. One subwoofer or two for small budget. I have the Rane one what wires would I need??
Pioneer DJ set with speakers is ot worth buying ? Also will.i need any other accessories
great video
Great video brotha
Thank you I appreciate it
Nice man 👍
Thanks
So I’m a producer in terms of beat maker I know my setup as producer it’s kinda the same for Dj but do I need a interface for Dj setup?
Thank you!
great video. How do you set your speakers during gigs? input 0 db and master volume 0 ? I have ev zlx 15BT
Yes I set them up @0 db sometimes at +3 DB but I control and monitor the limit and always use an extra PA mixer
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ Thank you for your reply. But you have input also on 0 (unity) ? I have behringer xenyx x1204. So I can leave them 0 and 0 the whole time and just control them by master volume on PA mixer?
I have a behringer xENYX Q802 I want to connect 2 mackie 15 inch and 2 subs Behringer eurolive
Thank you!!!
Hello question I'm a beginner DJ where do you download music?
The serato dj lite software that i use connects to my streaming services
That will help me to set up my PA speakers in one of the clubs in my city. I will make light show with special Federal Signal lightbar for police car. I will set it on the table next to the computer. I will set up the other DJ lights in other places in the club. Thanks me later :)
Nice
There I will make light show WITH MUSIC. I search in Google and then I found cable for 300$. I buy it. And then I will enjoy it.
Sorry did i miss how many power outlets do you use. Because i do out door events and limited outlets.
I always try to use 2 separate 20 amp outlets
With sound and lights
Do u have a video showing how to adjust levels on powered speakers and mixer and or controller. I have 2 12's EV and a behringer mixer. Using my laptop with VDJ Program..I keep getting feedback in speakers from Shure wireless mics
I don’t. I will try to make one soon
Thks...Im getting awful feedback from my audio equipment
Hello I have a question about speaker height in a small party. Let's say it is only a family's gathering of 10 to 25 people tops in small backyard party. Do you actually need to set the speakers at 7 to 9 feet in height , knowing that there is no audience way in the back and all guess are just withing 10 to 15 feets of the music . Can I lower the height so I don't have to increase so much amp power on the speakers or what is the
Yes you can lower the height
Speakers are ok around 7ft height.
As long as the highs are above peoples ears
Amazing
Hi, great vid I just have a question what’s the point of a separate pa mixer? I see mixers have mic inputs as well as xlr. I see some djs haul these huge vcr looking mixers with a bunch of knobs? Why can’t they just plug straight from mixer to system??
Great question
Most controllers don’t have great mic sound output and typically the sound out of the controllers comes out too hot.
With a speaker pa mixer you can control your mic and music volume to sound nicer
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ What's type of Microphone are you using, I know it's an AUDIO TECHNICA but what model and is it cardiod ?
Audio Technica system 10
Not sure if it’s Cardiod
Sir i have a question, if i link from my sub has built in high and low pass filter x-over, which one should i choose when i connect it from subwoofer to top speaker. Thanks!
I would connect the high pass to the top
Trying to get started doing weddings and looking for an entry level system. Something to get me by under $300. Is it worth it to invest in a low end system for small-medium sized weddings or just rent equipment in your opinion? I already have the other equipment needed! Thanks!
Weddings are a big day for brides, grooms and family and their friends
If you get a low end system it may or may not let you down at an event or it may not sound good or last long
Clients will notice the quality of the sound of its low end they may not refer you future clients to make your business grow
My advice is rent a better system and do a great job at your wedding gigs till you can buy a decent system. Good luck
DjJoey Pina Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm just starting with DJ'ing - A little too old perhaps but I got to find a hobby - I always wanted to play music in small venues and did it way back in the 80's/90's - Didn't have the technology on hand like today but managed to get by - Now, retired - just want to play music for fun and at friends and family events -
I'm a little rusty to being - This is what I have so far purchased and hoping you can help me along with the setup and requirements need to setup my Dj system -
Hardware - Laptop / ThinkPad T440 or and MACBOOK late model - can upgrade later when I get the hang of this DJ'ing
DJ Controllers - Hercules DJ Console/Controller MK4 2 Channels
Microphones
Speakers - Mission Stereo Speakers with wires no power speakers -
Will get a proper speakers later on if the non-powered speaker with wires don't cut it - Don't have an amp - don't know if I need one to connect my speakers to my controllers
Like I said I'm completely a green starter - Looking for some advise, setup , support - much appreciate for your input and honest opinion PLEASE!!
Best regards
Matteo Manfredi
Thank you and good luck with your new hobby. Welcome to the DJ life
Not sure which program the controller uses, maybe virtual DJ software, I would recommend a small PA mixer to connect your controller to it and an amp to power your speakers
Start up*
Controller to mixer, mixer to amp, amp to speakers
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ Thanks for your quick response and suggestion - I do have Virtual DJ Software installed - I have a Soundcraft audio mixer and Hercules DJ console
If I want to use the Mission stereo speakers (wired) - I would need an Amp -
Question is - what type of cables would I need for these connections ? Thanks in advance -
Perhaps I would be better off getting some powered speakers so I wouldn't need an amp perhaps .
My question is what do u need to power a sub? I know nothing about djs. Do you need a amp for it or does the sub come with a amp if so do u need like rca’s. I honestly have no idea sorry...
Many different ways to connect a sub
Most subs nowadays have built in amps
And all you do is use an XLR cable from your mixer to your sub
Can you please do a video on 4 subwoofer and tops connection (with and without mixer)? Thanks in advance
Thank you I love I’ll try to do it soon
Beginner dj I just got the ddj sr2 which speakers should I buy
Depending on your budget and where are you normally going to be using them and for what type of gigs
for me, 500$ is my budget or less and passive or active speakers?
i have 4 powered active speakers 15 inch which subwoofer should i get and how much and what mixer and controller to get
Depending on your budget and type of parties you do
18” subs pair up well with 15” tops
For a mixer start with a 6 -10-12 channel mixer depending how many things you need to connect
mic, mics, controller, iPad etc
how many subs for 4 tops
Do I need a mixed to have an amplifier installed ? Or can I use just an amp, controller and speakers?
You’ll need a mixer to get better control of your Audio
Mixer with an amp, powered speakers or a 3000 watt amplifier?
What is the most budget cost set up would you recommend buying from Online Walmart and or Amazon?
@@phackqu amazon..
Thanks.
Can u tell me, if I have 15" speakers, can I connect 15" subwwofer or I need to conect 18"? Because I bought 15" subwoofers and speakers, or it doesn't matter..
Congrats on your purchase
Having a subwoofer helps.
It all depends on which tops and which subs
Some tops are not to loud enough to keep up with subs and vise bersa
I did the same hook up for some reason I'm having trouble i get sound coming out of 1 side and the other side very low sound and the microphone I get sound only from 1side why is that I can't figure out please help
Check your cables they may be broken
Or check your mixer or controller
And what about one woofer to one speaker using xlr?
Thanks
I have a quick question someone told me to set it up from the controller to the tops and out from the tops into the input of the sub. Is this also correct?
Yes that’s ok too. Preferably if you can use an external mixer
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ Can you explain why it is important to use an external mixer as supposed to not using one in this setup where someone connects directly to the top and down to the bottom - thanks
@@masterminddjs PA mixers will give you better control of gain, trim over all volume EQ of your mics and sound
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ Thanks for that info man!
And if I wanna connect 1 speaker do I use a Y xlr from controller to speaker?
Raul Zarate you can use the controller or a PA mixer
DjJoey Pina thank you keep up the good work.
Do I need an amp for 2 mackie 15 thump ? Or I’ll be fine with the controller and mixer?
hello, my dj controller only has the rca connectors. how can I connect 4 speakers to my controller? should I get a mixer with multiple channels?
My best recommendation is to get a small PA mixer. And connect your controller from RCA’s to quarter in to the pa mixer
Another option which is not the best but for now would be to get RCA to XLR cables
You can go from your controller left and right to each speaker then daisy chain from left, left and right, right.
RCA to XLR cables are sold.
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ Is it not the best because of the RCA cable? Or does it (also) have other reasons?
Why don't we take top speaker's output to subwoofer's input instead?
Arranger123 thats also ok to do
But some subwoofers have a high pass filter and won’t send bass to the tops
How do i connect 4 active speakers and 2 active subwoofer?
get in touch with an engineer
I have a question how do I connect a top and subwoofer to the Yamaha mixer I’m not using a dj controller I’m just using My phone
czcams.com/video/MWOqL4kVGj4/video.html
If you have a mixer without rca inputs use 1/4 to 1/8m wire to connect to the mixer
What speaker poles are you using ?
The ones that come with Qsc 181
DjJoey Pina do you have the model number of these poles they look real clean with the setup I just bought 2 ek18sp couple days ago got this exact setup. Thanks a lot for the reply
How do I connect 4 active tops and 4 powered subs
There’s a few different ways. One option is connect one sub then the next then one too then another top. Do the same on the other side
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ so do I connect the output to the DJ controller
Ha ha, you guys get a like just for being chill dudes :)
Lol thank you
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ you seem like a great dad Joey. Peace brother!
Cute son 😆
🤦🏽♂️
Ridiculous
Question please. Do yoy uses a single power wall outlet for your set up or do you used more than one. I have this set up u have but 3 extra monitors also
Depending on how much equipment, speakers, lighting, cloud machine, sparklers I use different outlets
@@DjJoeyPinaDJ we playvat a gig last time but they had a jumper, another dj system and bunch of lights because there was a boxing event and our equipment didn't had that much volume at all and our monitors were very low volumes
Thanks
