I was just wondering...i've seen videos of it on different things except a simple dj setup...so my question is this...

I have a turntables, Rane 56 mixer and i use 2 mackie srm-450 v2 speakers for my basic setup. I wanted to know how do i get the best sound from the speakers without clipping them. do i set my mixer master vol to full and keep my gains low while leaving the levels on the back of the speakers at unity? do i set the speakers to full and run my master low and my gains at unity? i've tried several different ways to approach this, all sounded the same (obviously) but i want to maximize the potential of my speakers without clipping/damaging anything.

What do you guys normally do and is it the correct way to set up proper gain structure?

The ones with the light loads will tell yer. Reach to the right of your six or four foot table and turn down the Left Powered Speaker. Reach to the left of your table and turn down the Right Powered Speaker. LOL
