Ok so I got my new Xone:92 and EFX but cant connect the two and my speakers wont connect either to the Xone without putting them in the record slot which I need open for my mac to record obviously...so i need some help. Im used to playing on Xone's but this is my first I had to set up..im used to my old Pioneer. Im using normal R/L Stereo connections for the speakers and the cables that Im using to connect the EFX to the Xone are pictured (and were recommended to me from the stores owner) please help.

RESIZE YOUR PICS!

I don't understand what you mean when you say you can't connect your speakers to your mixer. You have your XLR outs and your booth and mix phono outs on your mixer. Any of those can be hooked up to your amplifier/speakers...

To get your EFX hooked up, use the AUX out and hook that up to your EFX, then hook your EFX up to the mic/return inputs since he sold you those straight up phono cables... actually, wait... does the mic/return input amplify the signal coming in?

Resized....Well my speakers are Numark and powered no need for an amp and they take the R/L cabels to go into the main speaker but to connect it to the mixer I cant find the correct slot on it and I think I have the wrong cabels for the mixer..if that makes sense

Not sure if it amplifies the signal....

I don't own a 92 and the light is shining on the cover so I can't read it, but from the looks of it if you're using that red/white aux out for your Mac for recording, then you need to hook up your mixer to your powered speakers by means of 2xstereo jacks (headphone style - one left, one right). If your speakers only take the red/white type, then you might consider looking for a jack converter. But that's just my natural guess, I dont know your speakers nor have I ever been the possession of a 92. Don't listen to me, I'm a Bianconeri.

the aux 1 and aux 2 are next to the right and left which is labeled record(not shown due to flash)....send and return and below the mix inputs all the way to the right.there is a booth slot (r and l) up and to the left of the power slot on there but normal stereo jacks dont fit in it...

Persian if a bianconeri can help ill fuckin take it lol im lost

I've got a Xone 92. Check your manual! Seriously, they have a nice diagram explaining what the different connectors do and what they are called (RCA, XLR, TRS, balanced, unbalanced). The main mix 1 outputs are only XLR, mix 2 outputs are balanced 1/4" TRS jacks, and record out is RCA. I had to buy new cables as well.

As for the EFX-1000, you are going to need to 1/4" send and return cables (4). I believe they are balanced.

I don't understand WHY a XONE92 DOESN'T HAVE A FUCKING DEDICATED SEND/RETURN PORT. God damn. Such a nice mixer with no dedicated send/return port. I believe you would send it to an aux port. Return from under mic 1 or 2...main output of the mixer would go to the speakers.

___________________

What do you mean by "dedicated"? The 92 has two auxilliary sends. Those "aux 1/2" outputs on the back can connect up to two different EFX/processing units. You return through the mic channels.

On top of each channel on the mixer are two knobs: Aux 1 and Aux 2. Those control how much of the signal for that channel is going to aux 1 and 2, respectively.

On the left of the mixer are the two aux/mic channel faders. You simply slide the channel fader for aux 1 or 2 all the way up, set you EFX unit to "wet", and control the amount "effected" by adjusting the aux 1 and aux 2 channels on each channel.

The mic inputs still work as well if you switch them from aux/mic, and you can even send one of the auxiliary inputs to either itself or the other aux (weird to get your head around).

I like how you can also monitor the aux channels through the headphones.

It's not easy like say on a DJM 600, or a lot of other mixers

I said how to do it also.

Definately NOT! I had a Denon DN-X1500 before the Xone, and it was obvious how it worked. I was like "WTF" when I got the Xone But I suppose it's more flexible in how you can route the audio around.

Ryan has it covered here. The mixer works like a traditional mixing board minus pan for each channel. Your buses are Mix 1, Mix 2, Booth, and Record. You have two stereo signal sends (Aux 1, Aux 2) and two Aux returns (which have there own eqs!). The aux returns are switchable as mic inputs as well (if both are connected simultaneously you must use XLR inputs for the microphones). You can cue (preview) the effect signal by depressing the cue buttons that are in-line with the mic channels respectively. use the up faders to mix the effect in but use the Aux knobs as your gain/trim. Cables are cables. Basically, try to connect everything balanced that you can unless you have to use RCA connections.
