Bought a pair of splitters to pre cue for Djay Pro, but it's not working? Am I doing something wrong? OP needs a DJ splitter cable, like this one. Griffin Audio Splitter Cable for Algoriddim djay - Question mono/stereo output? June 2019 in General App Discussion. The Griffin Cable is recommended by Algoriddim as it allows pre cueing and main output. Not sure though if the Main Output would be mono only? Feb 28, 2018 Native Instruments Traktor 8-Inch DJ Cable for iPad/iPhone. If you need a DJ Splitter Cable to go with a DJ app on phone/tablet (presuming it supports the split-output mode), or for DJing on a laptop if you don't have a controller with built in soundcard, this works perfectly. Excellent cable! Ideal for use with Traktor DJ 2.

Hi Scott… I’d say first off consider taking the speakers, amp & interconnect cables back to Maplins for a refund if you can. The amps and speakers they sell are (and I’m being kind here) fairly awful.
If you really want to stick with the gear or getting a refund isn’t possible I’m sure I can help you get it working assuming nothing is broken. I’ll have a quick look at the specs of the kit you’ve bought and will post again in a bit.
If you can get a refund I should also be able to point you towards some better kit.

http://www.maplin.co.uk/mono-jack-lead-224841I have attached the Mono to Phono Adaptors to the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect so that they will insert into the Input connections on the amp and the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect is connected to the speaker connection of the Griffin cable.
The sound is only very faint coming out of the left speaker and nothing is coming out of the right speaker. If I pull the Amp input connector half way out the volume increases dramatically but the sound is still not perfect.
Something is not compatible somewhere I assume it’s the Mono to Phono Adaptors & the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect.I have tested a direct connection via the Griffin cable to my portable Bose docking station and this appears to be fine.
Please can someone help me out.

First things first, you don’t need the pre-amp. That is designed for connecting the output vinyl record player to an amplifier. It contains a filter that will screw up the sound if you use it with a line level device like the iPad. If the guys at Maplin advised you buy it, I’m afraid they either don’t have a clue what they are talking about or didn’t understand what you were trying to do.
Secondly the ‘Mono Jack Leads’ you linked to are designed for input level signals, not speakers. Are you sure those are the ones you have? Maplins also sell speaker leads that look similar:
Hopefully those are the ones you have.
So, on to your set-up.
You should not have to pull your input connector part way out to make the amp work.
Try the following test.
Hook up the iPad directly to the amplifier using your mini jack to twin phono lead ( ‘High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect’) and the two phono to mono jack connectors. Connect the mini jack directly to the iPad’s headphone socket. Play something using the normal iPad music player (i.e. not the DJay app).
Does this give you proper sound out of both speakers? If not, it suggests the jack sockets on the amplifier are faulty.
My recommendation would be to look for some better quality pro audio kit, second hand if you are on a tight budget.
That will be difficult to source really quickly though.
If you need something for a gig this weekend I’d suggest hiring something. What do you need the kit for (what size of event – number of people, size of room etc).
If its just for home use, a set of active (powered) monitors might suit you well. The KRK Rokit series seem well liked by DJ’s. Quite a lot more money than the Maplins kit but your ears will thank you and should you change your mind you’d have no trouble selling them on.
Now if budget was really not an issue I’d suggest something like these

What connections are required for the iPad?

Passive Monitors/Speakers = amp requiredScotte, post: 10285 wrote: Ok thanks, if I were to buy the Rokit 8 or 10-3, do you need a pair of these or is one sufficent? does this mean you don’t need an amplifier?

You could just use one if you want, although most people go for a pair (if resale value is a concern, a pair would be easier to sell on than one).
Correct, no amplifier required.
Serial number paragon ntfs for mac. And the final one will be available before the 15-day trial period is over. Please note that this is a release candidate version. You can download it here.
The Rokit’s have an RCA (phono) input connector, so you should be able to use your mini jack to phono (High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect) cable to hook things up. You might want a long one though, since it needs to reach from your iPad to wherever you put your speaker(s).

Any tips - or info on Stereo output splitter cables
Thanks in advance

It’s stereo same as the output from the laptop. Also, I used the Traktor split cable and it works great and is way cheaper.
I am a bit confused here. If you want pre-cue and main out, yes it would need to be Mono main output in this type of setup. And the splitter would need to be a L-R splitter not a stereo splitter. This griffin splitter in your screenshot is a stereo splitter and it would not allow you to pre-cue because it sends both L-R channels to each split.

So are each of the two outs Stereo Outs .or mono per each of the 2 Outs. Also does the Traktor one work with Algoriddim Djay.I guess it does but double checking.

Basically if I play a track to the output will the Stereo track loose either the left or right signal or do each of the outs pre cue & main out carry a stereo signal.

hmm, well physical limits of a stereo headphone jack are pretty sure so I’m just going off that. The only way a pre-cue / Main output setup can work over 3.5mm headphone output is when you are running in Mono. The DJ app send the pre-cue track to left and the main out to Right. (Or vis-a-versa)
Of course, If you want stereo you can do it on iOS but you need a USB audio interface that can output 4 lanes of audio so you have L-R for house and a separate L-R for your headphones and pre-cue. And your DJ app will need to be able to handle the routing and setup.

@Hmtx is right. For dual stereo you'll need an external audio interface.
Well I guess I’m just hearing everything completely wrong in my setup! Ignore me.
Yeah, I have the official dJay splitter cable from years ago and that's stereo to dual mono as well. A major downside of these types of splitters, but unavoidable given what they are doing.

Cheers everyone Gonna try a 4 lane audio soundcard. Really getting into this iOS DJ stuff. My MAC messed up at a gig last week. Had my ipad as backup and managed to do a good gig. Powerful stuff indeed.

@Hmtx cheers for all the above info.
No worries.
by the way if your DJ app works in Audiobus 3 as an IAA source then you might actually be able to get by with a standard stereo interface with only 2 outputs. Audiobus 3 can create multi-routing so separate outputs (hint: your pre-cue) can be sent to the headphone jack while the USB interface is used for the main stereo out. That might be worth a try if you have a 2-channel interface. I’ve never used this feature but it might be possible.@Hmtx said:
