Hi i am usually pretty good with audio wiring but am stuck with this one. i have a set of tower speakers that are each independently powered and have inputs for regular speaker wire. my audio source is my traktor S4 dj controller with RCA outputs. i bought the cables at radio shack that have a male RCA plug on one end and rax speaker wire on the other end. when i plug the RCA to my mixer and the speaker wire to the speakers, i dont get much sound. i have to turn the volume up all the way on my mixer and laptop and then can hear a little bit of sound from the speaker. is there something i need to do differently? please help
Solution
The RCA outputs on your controller are probably low level, (low voltage), and intended to first pass to an amplifier that will boost the power and only then will that device connect to your speakers via native inputs. I have never seen RCA direct to speakers connection in a proper setup- the cables/ports are purpose made for the type of device they are intended to connect to.
This is why you have to turn the volume up all the way to hear even faint sound, an in-line amplifier is needed and can be had cheaply to accomplish the goal of connecting speakers.
