Cables you need
- No cable to buy: the cable in the DM-40D box connects the FLX2 or the FLX4.
How it connects, step by step
- Install rekordbox (free) on your laptop, phone or tablet, or Serato DJ Lite (free) on a laptop.
- Plug the FLX2 into the device with the USB-C cable in the box. On a laptop it runs on USB bus power; on a USB-C phone it runs from the phone. Over Bluetooth it needs a USB power adapter, and the sound plays from the phone, not the FLX2.
- Plug the FLX4 into the device with the USB-C cable in the box. On a laptop it runs on USB bus power. On a phone or tablet it also needs a USB power adapter.
- Link the two DM-40D speakers with the speaker cord in their box: strip about 1 cm (3/8 in) from each end and put the red-striped wire on the red (+) terminals.
- Use the cable in the DM-40D box: 3.5 mm plug into the FLX2's master output, RCA plugs into the left speaker's RCA inputs.
- Use the cable in the DM-40D box: RCA plugs into the FLX4's RCA master output, 3.5 mm plug into the left speaker's 3.5 mm input.
- Set SOUND MODE on the back of the left speaker to DJ. Plug in its power cord last, then switch it on.
- Plug the NTH-50 into the controller's headphone jack and press the headphone CUE button on the channel you want to hear to cue the next track.
- Start with the LEVEL knob on the left speaker low, set the controller's master level, then turn LEVEL up.
- Put the speakers at ear height, turned in toward you.
- Share it: record your set with a rekordbox Core plan or Serato DJ Pro, both paid, and post the file on sites like Mixcloud or YouTube. The free rekordbox and Serato DJ Lite do not record.
