I think I have posted on this subject before and the fix is really very simple with the use of a couple of resistors and still using a Y cable, In fact I believe Ben sells them already made!
ZXA1 speaker input question
- Thread starter Bill Kexel
- Start date
Steve,
If some don't know how to properly connect a "Y" connector in the first place, do you really think that they would be able to make their own cable, even with instructions?
Basic Electronics should be a pre-requisite to being a DJ or Musician. I once saw a guy at a gig with two subs that sounded "flat". Got to find out he split the output signal directly from the mixer,, to an amp to the supposedly subs. The Cabinets had no passive crossover or filters so in essence what he was getting was a full range signal amplified to his "subs".
He felt that just because it was called a sub, it would play only "bass" notes. There are many that fit that description.:trirolleyes:
I use a Hosa Cable Angled 1/8 Stereo to Male XLR Cable from my Ipod directly to my EV ZXA1 for cocktail with no problem. Ypu can get it from American Musical Supply.

That's what I am using.
I think I need to adjust my my songs files (make them mono?...adjust the DB to 92?)
I've heard anything above 92 db can have distortion problems (not sure if it's true or not?)

I feel foolish saying this...but not sure what that exactly is.
What I do have is a 3 ft. cable that is: 1/4 stereo plug (2 ring) on one end, into a male Mono XLR.
Thanks for your help.

There should be three small resistors mounted in the XLR end! You can check it either by pulling it apart and looking or with the use of an ohm meter!
That is a very interesting device. I would've never thought about it.
Since both the MP3 player & the speaker have volume controls, I thought it should be fine. I may check this out.
Anyone else using something like this?
Agree or disagree with this? if not, why?
