I remember having a problem setting up a dxm06 mixer a few years ago. Me and my cuz both noobs in all audio equipment.
We figured it all out within 10 minuts though.

It just comes from experience. I used to have the exact same mixer and spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out why one channel was so much quieter than the other. It never ocurred to me to check the gain first.

I hate to say this, but...


























...I told you so

It was funny seing the anti numark comments that poped up.

*bump*

So I just ordered some Alesis Monitor 1 MK2's and 'lo and behold after investing $200 into them, they decided it was cool to not send me the proper cables needed in which to hook the speakers up to my mixer. they didn't send any cables at all as a matter of fact. Me, being the utter n00b I am, decided to venture on over to a HiFi Buys to ask if they knew of the cable(s) I would need to get. Unfortunately, they didn't.

So I turn once again for TA guidance!

The back of both speakers =



which are slightly larger outlets than the ones' on the back of my mixer which look like this:



even if they don't look larger. I tried fitting the cable from my computer speakers into the outlets on the back of my monitors and they were a little small for them.

What I'm guessing I need is a Y cable that feeds from both outlets on both speakers and feeds into one cable that would plug into the the two slots on the master portion of my mixer. But I'm not totally sure if I'm correct, or where to pick such a cable up seeing as how it appears I need two different sizes of plugs on either end.

I wanted to check here before I went through a bunch of shit with the Alesis technical support and/or the company that shipped it to me and their technical support.

Any ideas?

The Mixer needs to be fed through an amp, and your speakers connect to the amp.

^^ what he said. youll need to buy some speaker wire to plug into an amp. speaker wire is cheap as fuck. amps, less so
