Well, I think i am retarded. For the DJM-400 and if you have two active monitors. You would need 2 RCA->TRS/XLR cables. Then hook one monitor to output 1 and the other to output 2, correct? And set the outputs for mono or stereo?

I was looking into hooking the mixer to a pair of Alesis 720DSP monitors. After looking at the yorkville setup posted earlier, it would appear you only need one connection to the active monitor, and then with the Alesis you simply hook the 2nd monitor to the one with the input from the mixer?

uh,

ur confusing urself, and confusing the hell out of me dude.

From what i'm picking up, u just need to put one monitor in left, and the other in right. (red vs white). THis allows you for a stereo signal (having left and right monitors). Howevere, your mixer has binaural ( I think that's what it's called) mono, which means both left and right signals play the same things. Meaning, if you have a signal on left only in steroe mode, it will play on both left and right signal outputs. This lets you have mono output to ur monitors.

Number oNe is a Master out, and number 2 is for monitors. THe master out would be to ur main soundsystem at the club or house party. THe monitor out is for you as a DJ.

Well...It has a selector for stereo/mono, if you set it for stereo. then wouldnt the red(right) play its right sound and the white(left) play its left sound? Wouldnt that make more sense for hooking up the monitors, instead of sending the monitors the same(mono) signal?

well i'm not 100% sure, but in a very noisy environment, i'd imagine that it would make the signal much more clearer to be able to pick out than a stereo one.
