Last night, I just purchased some equipment. I was wondering if I needed to get anything else. I feel like I'm missing something. Oh and any input on the equipment would be great too. Thanks.
I purchased:
Sennheiser HD 25's
2 Pioneer CDJ 200's
1 DJM 400
2 Alesis M1 Active 620's
Ipod - 160 GB

You'll need leads from the mixer to the speakers. XLR will be fine.

Looks like a solid setup that will provide years of mixing joy. Color me a bit jealous. I'm soooo ready for a CDJ, however life keeps getting in the way - i.e., new roof for the house, tires for the car, food for the kids, etc. Soon, though...

How did you plan to use the iPoo with that setup?
Probably the same way I use mine: I put all my tunes and sets on it, and play them through the best sound processing and speaker system I have (my mixer and speakers).

Too bad the 400 doesn't have XLRs, only RCAs.

Simple solution: Get RCA/Phonos then.

Yeah man, make sure you get some RCAs (red and white connections) for the 400, not XLR.

Nope, that setup's not going to work, you need at least a 320 gb ipod.
Looks good dude. Just make sure you have the cables

You will need a converter. Those monitors only take XLR or 1/4" (balanced or unbalanced)
