adamwanstall Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I had an event back in october where my speakers really did screw me over... Usually I use a dj mixing box to play audio discs at my events, but this time round I needed vocal mics.... so I got an analoge sound desk in and rigged it so the usual CD player on the dj mixing box went through the desk to the speakers, the mics work fine, but their was a terrible noise from the other audio... the speakers just rattled and made a real bad bass punching noise.... the speakers still work okay now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Lewis Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Did you have a line level signal going into a mic level input? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamwanstall Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 at first it was just main speaker level outputs L and R. I ddint plug any mics in... until after I discovered the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Speaker level? You mean you had speaker level going INTO your main desk? Don't do that. Really. Never, ever, do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 you didnt have your cd player into the riaa/phono input by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Any chance you could explain exactly what you have, and how it was cabled up - I think we're very confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamwanstall Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 okay- CD player (Like a DJ kind) goes into the two channles set for this (L + R) using phono cables..... L + R speakers connected from the desks out put by XLR... I know everything is correct as it was plugged into the theatres sound system and it was fine.... so somewhere between the desk output and the speakers is where the problem lies....

Ynot Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hmmm...A basic DJ setup is, well, pretty basic. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/Ynot_01/DJstuff-1.jpgThe fact that at each stage you MIGHT have XLR connections could confuse.The CD can bypass the mixer without any problems as long as you use an appropriate amp input. But the output from the amp should NEVER go into a mixer input. How much like this simple diagram does your setup look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
