Connecting Scarlett 4i4 to a DJ mixer

The Scarlett 4i4 makes an excellent interface between a laptop running DJ software and the channels
of a DJ mixer. In this setup, Outputs 1 and 2 can be connected to Line Inputs 1 and 2 of an external
DJ mixer, and Outputs 3 and 4 to Line Inputs 3 and 4. Connecting in this way means that all mixer
facilities, such as EQs and crossfading, are easily accessible. However, note that you must set the
front panel Monitor Level control to maximum, otherwise Outputs 1 and 2 will be at a lower level than
Outputs 3 and 4.
Note that although the outputs of the Scarlett 4i4 are balanced, they may be connected to an
unbalanced input using a cable fitted with a ¼" TS jack. Most DJ mixers will have unbalanced
inputs using phono (RCA) sockets, so suitable phono-to-TS jack cables will be needed to make the
connection.
