You need a turntable pre amp to boost the signal.

But won't the mixer have pre-amps anyway? so the output of the TT goes into the mixer in, then mixer out to MPC in?

I'm not too sure how it all works, using the digital input myself

it would help to have a turntable pre amp but you dont actually need one. Just take the two outputs of your DJ mixer and plug them in to your MPC. all you need is two converters you plug in the end of your phono leads so that it fits into your MPC record ins. Like this:

OR JUST BUY DUEL PHO TO JACK LEADS???

Yeah i wouldn't advise using adapters. Phono to Jack cables aren't expensive, these are good enough in my opinion.

Your best bet is>>>> From the Technics into a mixer... mixer outs to the input of your 2500.
