Griffin Djay 2 Cable System

    Hope you can help.

    I have purchased the Numark iDJLive device along with 2 x speakers & amp from Maplins.

    Hi Scott… I’d say first off consider taking the speakers, amp & interconnect cables back to Maplins for a refund if you can. The amps and speakers they sell are (and I’m being kind here) fairly awful.

    To install Wine on your Mac, you will need the following: macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) or above (but 10.15 Catalina is not recommended) Access to an Admin account, with password; An internet connection. Wine mac install. Open the downloaded DMG file. Drag and drop both Wine and WineBottler applications to your Applications folder to install them, just like you would any other Mac application. You can then launch WineBottler from your Applications folder. WineBottler lists a number of different programs you can easily install.

    If you really want to stick with the gear or getting a refund isn’t possible I’m sure I can help you get it working assuming nothing is broken. I’ll have a quick look at the specs of the kit you’ve bought and will post again in a bit.

    If you can get a refund I should also be able to point you towards some better kit.

    2 x Mono Jack Leads
    http://www.maplin.co.uk/mono-jack-lead-224841

    I have attached the Mono to Phono Adaptors to the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect so that they will insert into the Input connections on the amp and the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect is connected to the speaker connection of the Griffin cable.

    The sound is only very faint coming out of the left speaker and nothing is coming out of the right speaker. If I pull the Amp input connector half way out the volume increases dramatically but the sound is still not perfect.
    Something is not compatible somewhere I assume it’s the Mono to Phono Adaptors & the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect.

    I have tested a direct connection via the Griffin cable to my portable Bose docking station and this appears to be fine.

    Please can someone help me out.

    Ok.

    First things first, you don’t need the pre-amp. That is designed for connecting the output vinyl record player to an amplifier. It contains a filter that will screw up the sound if you use it with a line level device like the iPad. If the guys at Maplin advised you buy it, I’m afraid they either don’t have a clue what they are talking about or didn’t understand what you were trying to do.

    Secondly the ‘Mono Jack Leads’ you linked to are designed for input level signals, not speakers. Are you sure those are the ones you have? Maplins also sell speaker leads that look similar:

    Hopefully those are the ones you have.

    So, on to your set-up.

    You should not have to pull your input connector part way out to make the amp work.

    Try the following test.

    Hook up the iPad directly to the amplifier using your mini jack to twin phono lead ( ‘High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect’) and the two phono to mono jack connectors. Connect the mini jack directly to the iPad’s headphone socket. Play something using the normal iPad music player (i.e. not the DJay app).

    Does this give you proper sound out of both speakers? If not, it suggests the jack sockets on the amplifier are faulty.

    My recommendation would be to look for some better quality pro audio kit, second hand if you are on a tight budget.

    That will be difficult to source really quickly though.

    If you need something for a gig this weekend I’d suggest hiring something. What do you need the kit for (what size of event – number of people, size of room etc).

    If its just for home use, a set of active (powered) monitors might suit you well. The KRK Rokit series seem well liked by DJ’s. Quite a lot more money than the Maplins kit but your ears will thank you and should you change your mind you’d have no trouble selling them on.

    Now if budget was really not an issue I’d suggest something like these

    What connections are required for the iPad?

    Active Monitors/Speakers = no amp required
    Passive Monitors/Speakers = amp required

    You could just use one if you want, although most people go for a pair (if resale value is a concern, a pair would be easier to sell on than one).

    Correct, no amplifier required.

    The Rokit’s have an RCA (phono) input connector, so you should be able to use your mini jack to phono (High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect) cable to hook things up. You might want a long one though, since it needs to reach from your iPad to wherever you put your speaker(s).

REVIEW: Griffin DJ Connect Stereo Audio Interface. Into a pair of mono ones via products like the Griffin DJ Cable or a cheap £2 splitter. Djay v3.2 = USB.
