Yes?


Try it and report back. :popcorn:

Does this tell the info correct?

______
" How many inputs and outputs are on the MPC Live?
The MPC Live features two (2) 1/4" balanced TRS inputs (Line) and two (2) RCA inputs (Phono), along with a grounding terminal and adjustable Record Volume knob. Only one set of inputs can be used at a time, selectable via the Line/Phono Switch on the back of the MPC Live. Important: The RCA inputs are intended only for phono-level audio. Please be sure not to connect line-level audio sources to this input. "

It's the same as I posted about the MPC X. (Below) It works the same on the MPC 4000. The only one that wasn't like that is the MPC 5000, where the RCA would work as phono or line in depending on the switch position.

So I'm waiting to hear back from the FNOCH test. Maybe they changed it but didn't correct the MPC X and MPC Live information. He should turn up his line level devices all way up, just to make sure the signal is hot enough. Then flick the switch to phono. Don't forget to turn on the speakers and put on headphones (Turned all the way up.) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:




PAGE 16 or 18 of MPC X manual. Depending on which version you look at.

8.Phono/Line Switch: Set this switch to the appropriate position, depending on which Input 3/4 connectors you want to use. If you are using the 1/4” (6.35 mm) inputs, set this switch to Line. If you are using the RCA inputs, set this switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals.



or



How many inputs and outputs are on the MPC X?

The MPC X features 8 balanced TRS outputs and 4 combo inputs. Inputs 1 and 2 will support mic and line levels (+48v phantom power available) and inputs 3/4 will support phono (RCA) and line level (1/4" TRS) inputs. Important: The RCA inputs are intended only for phono-level audio. Please be sure not to connect line-level audio sources to this input.

Why give you the option to switch to line then?

Si it looks like RCA inputs are for PHONO LINE ONLY. Coming from Akai.
If someone has where RCA can take Line-Level do you have first sorce info on that?

It would be good info.

Peace

It's just like a DJ mixer that allows you to switch between the Phono and Line in. On the MPC 5000 the LINE/PHONO RCA was the same port. However on these MPC, the RCA is strictly for a PHONO input. If you have a LIVE or X, just give it a try.

No no CHARLIE, the information is correct in the manual. For some reason I thought that I was able to switch it to line level on the RCA's as well in the past - my bad. And even though I respect you about as much as a wet fart, I have absolutely no issue admitting when I am wrong. So kudos to you CHARLIE - you win this round! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not trying to win. I don't want people to look at this and end up messing up their gear or ears.

The gold MPC X is better for mastering and has better snares.

The black one has better swing and is good for 1/32 triplet hats and 808 drums.

Somebody, somewhere with a ‘MPC Always Great Again” hat is gonna take that as gospel and run with it.

No one can tell them different.
