static and no sample

hey guys-

please tell me if im wrong - using a portable turntable pt-01 i can use a dual rca to dual 1/4 to the input on the 2kxl.

i can hear the sample but its being overpowered by a very strong static noise - its like 80 percent static and 20 percent sample.

can someone help me trouble shoot this problem?

is it becuz the lack of a phonopreamp? or is there something wrong with the mp?

the guitar center guy said he uses this pt-01 str8 to the mp?

please help - thanks.

is your TT grounded?

well make sure the rcas are going into the record inputs adn not the digital in ands out. that may be your problem, but the pto1 doesn't need a preamp or need to be grounded. so the mp may just be busted.turn the volume down on the table. get new cables adn try again.

well i just got my mixer and cable from musician friend today so it seems like the rca to 1/4 was defective. I just came back from radio shack and it now works properly. thanks. And sorry about wasting forum space.

NOW LET THE FUN BEGIN


and yo since this problem is remedy and to not waste more forum space I have a ghey question-

Where can i find a speaker amp with 1/4 ins and banana plugs?

I have these bookshelves speakers I wanna use but I couldn't find any amp with this specs. Thanks.

You don't actually need to find one that accepts 1/4 inch or banana plugs...Go back to radio shack and peep their adapters...I run tons of adapters. 1/4 to 1/8, 1/8 to 1/4, 1/4 to RCA, etc....They have a ton of them there....Don't stress yourself searching for "the right wires," just use adapters man...Hope that helps a bit...PEACE
