Ok! this is my problem. I bougth a new amplifers sony 7.1 is a str-898 and is working great. In my old days I just to be a DJ and that one of the main reasons why I bouth that specific kind of amp. this one have a phono input for my old turnatables and mixers. I am not sure if it is the mixer or the bad set up on the amp. when i put on the headphone on the mixer it sound great.
but when I turn up the volume it sound in a low freq. So this is my Question
Is the Mixer or a Bad Set up in the Amp? Any Ideas?
Thanks for your time!
I may be able to help here.
1. JuandelPueblo, if your reciever has the ability to select Phono and you
only want to play a record, connect your Deck's leads, including the Ground, directly to the Reciever
2. If you are actually wanting to mix, connect your two (at least) Decks into your mixer, including it's ground, as normal. Be aware though, that one of the reasons you are possibly hearing very bassy sound is because your
Low Trim/Gain (whatever it is titled as) rotary is probably set at up to -20 or so. For sound directly as it is on the vinyl, i.e. without Tone control being applied,
all your rotaries should be set at 12 o'clock, i.e. at zero. However, since it is highly unlikely given that you are mixing that you will want to do this, use the rotaries as per normal.
If doing option 2, you still need to set your various volume controls though:
Put on a record with the rotaries,
including the Trim/Gain rotary set so that you are not 'red-lining' your individual channel levels when the Master Volume and individual channel 'sliders' are at max. Slowly turn up the Recievers volume until the overall volume in your room is as loud as you will want it to be. From now on, you
do not need to touch the Recievers volume, nor the Master Volume on the mixer, and you should do either of the following, depending on how exactly you mix:
a. If you usually mix using a cross-fader, keep the individual channel 'sliders' at max, and only use the channel Trim/Gain rotary to control the final output volume of any given channel.
b. If you usually defeat the cross-fader and use the individual channel 'sliders' to mix (more control over the mix this way
), then use the channel Trim/Gain rotaries only to prevent 'red-lining' from occuring prior to mixing, i.e. through the headphones.
And if, after all of that you still have problems, then I haven't got a clue I'm afraid!
I hope all of this made sense to you and that your problem sorts itself out.
Regards
EDIT: I've just seen your reply. You need to take a standard interconnect cable (L/R RCA jacks) from your mixers 'Master out' jacks to any input on your Reciever
apart from Phono.
