These turntables are beginning to fuck me off.

Is the mixer switched on and plugged into a power socket?

smart ass

smart ass

actually that suggestion has solved about half of my problems with electronic equipment

[budsteq]

Its on haha,
whats weird is that if I have the turntable plugged in through the stereo and am playing a record I get feedback but when I plug the mixer into the CD input the feedback goes away...

[bolsty]

have u got the crossfader in the middle?

I got a pair of T50's AAAAGES ago and just recently set them up again, I remember I used to have awful feedback problems and it all came down to the surface that they were on and also making sure the cable is GROUNDED to the mixer and deck. Make sure you connect the ground to the metal on the mixer and this will help reduce feedback as this is their designed feature. With regards to why you don't have any sound, I'd do exactly as said above ^, check through headphones if you can hear anything, if yes then the amps fucked, if no then the mixer is likely to be fucked.

yeah sometimes I get feedback problems, but like you said this is usually sorted with the GND cables.
Will try a pair of headphones when I can, however cuz everything else works through the amp perfectly fine I have come to the conclusion I have bought a faulty mixer.

So I started a thread a while back because the needles on my turntables were skipping. Now, since Ive finally got a mixer, I'm trying to set it up so I can start actually learning something.

But, Im getting no sound.

Heres a diagram of how I've got 'em set up. yes, everything is plugged in and turned on, yes the speakers are working.
The stereo amp is simply refusing to send sound through my mixer.

dunno if thats a typo, but you dont plug the output of the mixer into the turntables.

you plug the turntables into the mixers inputs. the outputs go into the amp.

you can use any input on the amp, just not the phono one.

otherwise, i would go with somethings broken...

[Basic A]

If your amp works and you get sound out of the headphones/cue, it probably means your master outputs on the mixer are fucked...

You could probably get a headphone to rca cable and check the cue jack without needing phones...

but regardless of any of this, has anyone told you you need headphones to beatmatch?

what I mean is on the mixer there is a master output, which I have connected to the amp, and then Phono 1/2, and Line 1/2 and I have the turntables connected to the Phono 1/2

yeah, I know you need headphones.
Will be trying a pair on it today.

what is that even in reference too? you dont need headphones to beatmatch songs that are the same speed, or if your spinning digital, okay, but he clearly said he's playing vinyl, so with speed tremble alone, yeah, hes gonna need em.

part of me wishes my turntables would fuck me off

I got them two weeks ago and havent even had a chance to use them cuz of so many issues with cords, needles etc.

yeah dude that is a pain in the balls. i know how you feel. when i got my last sub i had to wait like 3 weeks to finally use it because my alternator was about to fry and wouldn't push 2k watts rms lol

sounds like you've tried everything. is it the cables or the mixer itself?

[budsteq]

the mixer- I've couriered it back so hopefully it can get fixed or whatever
