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 all mixer facilities,
such as EQs and crossfading, are easily accessible. However, 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 can 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.
