DJ Performance System
This diagram shows two microphones connected to channel 1 and 2, and two turntables connected to
channel 3 and 4’s phono inputs.
The main outputs are fed to a pair of Mackie SRM450s for the audience’s listening pleasure. The mix-
er’s mighty Big Knob controls their volume. Use the stereo aux send to connect 2-SRM350s for the booth.
A laptop is connected via FireWire. The U.420d provides stereo mains to the computer for recording
with most DAW applications like Tracktion, Cubase or Sonar. Perfect for recording your set. Any play-
back software applications like Ableton Live™ or Tracktor can easily be part of your performance by
utilizing the FireWire stereo return that has its own mix level control into the mains.
The FireWire loop through switch on the top of the mixer allows you to send your FireWire return
through the FireWire output for recording. So use Ableton Live and your analog inputs to perform, and
record it all at the same time on Tracktion or your DAW of choice. The switch should be pressed in to al-
low loop-through of the FireWire return to the FireWire record output.
