i recommend this:

mpc---mixer---speaker

or

mpc---monitor controller---speaker


normaly you need a jack (from the mp) to xlr (in the monitors) cable..but it might depend on the monitors you choose..

only the mpc needs inputs as the speakers go to the outputs of the mixer - how many inputs you need depends on your modell of mpc, they have everything from two to ten outputs that you can use.

and for better answers you gotta ask better questions and tell us what subwoofer you use for instance, because home theater speakers tend to have different connectors than musical equipment.

o ok i have the mpc 1k, my subwoofer is old so nvm, but thanks for everything you guys. if someone could just answer how many inputs would be nice for the mpc 1k or how many you have and what you plug into it

its how many inputs do YOU need. get your brain out of your a** and do some research instead of blindly asking questions


spoonfed thats how you want it

I got the same MPC model, and just recently got mine too, about a month and a half ago.
Page 5 of the user's (not quickstart) manual has a diagram showing a pretty basic layout. It's what I've used to determine what I'm going to get in the near future to add to my rig.
