Equipment hookup

Do I need a mixer to get sound from my speakers from my mpc4000? (I currently use headphones)

not really, you could run the outputs of the 4000 right to the monitors if you wanted to...

im not sure what you mean by monitors

studio monitors....



read the manual there for sure is a chapter talking about connecting your mpc to your rig.


you can run it through a mixer... useful if you got several pieces of gear...



How did you find out what an mpc 4000 is and you dont know if a mixer would help your setup and you dont know what monitors are? I am not trying to sound mean or anything but these are basics and you got the most advanced mpc available.

thanks, yeah i'm new at this and plan to use it for years to come

were you thinking around july 6th... I believe it was a tuesday?

Well that was when i had no sound at all

it depends if your speakers are active or passive.

if they're passive you will need an amplifier to drive them
