Karaoke Forums

I had my karaoke player connected to the mixer via the 'tape input.' I then bought a y-adapter,' stereo to left and right mono, and tried it connected to a line in on the mixer. For some reason I seemed to get more and better sounding output when I used the tape input.

Is this what I should be seeing? If so, can I get an explaination from one of you techno-geeks?

Thanks!

Patrick

Because it's not controlled through a gain pot or sweepable channel eq's.. it's coming off the machine direct.. But try to sing off it in a club.. under high power it may feedback. The keyword is MAY.
Depending on the volume and acoustics.

Brian,

Actually, I split the left and right channel into 2 separate channels on the board.

The reason I wasn't getting as much gain was because I didn't have the trim pots turned up enough.

All is now right with the world!

Thanks!

That works too.. I use my 24 ch rack monitor mixers when I do that.. I have 2 Crest RMX series mixers that rarely see use but that's what they do.. otherwise I use the Stereo channels on my Yahamas..

You don't want the RMX's for karaoke.. $8K for 24 channels in and 6 mono outputs, but a real nice set of 4 way sweeps for tone control.. all rack mountable. mostly a live toy.

I have been studying DJ gear again.. thinking about re-stocking on it.. and building 2 more DJ systems. I have the media already.. just possibly getting more gear.. and who can't use more gear?

Crest "RMX" series??? You shure you aren't talking about the XRM series??? Fingers getting tied up, twice???

I hear you there, Brian! GEAR RULES!

For about the first 6 months of design they called the RMX-24.. and released it as an "XRM-24" the "second generation" is called the XR-24 -- t-town if you wanna be specific yes it's an "xrm" series console..

Sorry to create any confusion.. when you post after shows things tend to be "a little bit fuzzy"
