| The DJM600 has RCA outputs as well as XLR outputs (master out) - 2 XLR cables from the L & R jacks on the DJM600 going to your 2 Mackie speakers (assuming you have 2) is all you need. The Mackie 450 of course has an XLR input. |

hahaha, same happened to me once. the sound guy only had XLR on his console. he was like "dude, you sure you don't have XLR?" i was like, no. then he points to the lower part and says "whats that then?"
i felt like such a dork. heh. |

careful. pioneer DJMs are screwy! they have the "old school" (now considered outdated/invalid) XLR pinouts...
if I recall correctly, pioneer DJMs are pin3 hot, where most devices are pin2 hot.
this is one of the most annoying things about the DJMs. so I have a set of "cross connect" cables. they are one foot long each, male to female, with pins 2 and 3 flipped so I can connect a DJM-series mixer to a device with normal XLR pinouts, like my soundrack.
if you dont properly match up the hot/cold pins.. you'll still get sound, but it will be out of phase. when the speaker is suppose to move in, it'll move out.. and vice versa. |

Is that true for its XLR mic input too? |
Honestly unsure. Pioneer does not label the mic xlr jack like they label the main outputs, nor does the manual specify. I would guess it is likely the same pinout as the main out XLRs... you'd hope atleast! a little consistency is good, even if it is consistency in violating standards.
In all reality it probably doesnt matter that much for a mic, anyways. especially if the mic does not project into the DJ's booth monitor...

I made it myself... Not aware of a commercially made variant, although I would guess one does exist! commercial variant is probably a molded (or metal) adapter rather than a cable. if you have any soldering skills at all, one can easily be made. just swap the wires going to pin2/pin3 on a regular XLR cable (of course, on one side only, else you did nothing) and you now have a cross cable. :) |
