SP-FORUMS

Well, I just got the -6 dB phono line-level attenuators, and the results are everything I hoped for. Levels are loud enough at the mixer not to be problematic and the sound quality as far as I can tell is perfect.
Thank god. Looks like I'll be using the 404 for a while yet.

I don't hear any humming ...

Well, having talked to pioneer, I feel I can confidently say that I'm fucked as far as not buying anything else to fix the problem. The roland people tell me there's nothing I can do besides turn down the input level, and there's no way to control the output of the CDJ200.

I'm calling Pioneer tomorrow to get the exact output level of their ...

So I went back to guitar center today, and we spent a good 20 minutes looking at various solutions to my problem. The short answer is that unless I'm willing to spend another $400+ on audio equipment, I'm fucked. Tomorrow I'm going to call Roland and Pioneer, to see if there's anything I can do. I ...

Thanks for the reply. I remember seeing phono cables with resistors in them, maybe that would drop the input to the 404 enough to eliminate the distortion.

I just bought two SP-404's for use with my DJ setup. First, let me say that I absolutely love these things. That said, I've been having a problem:

My setup is an SP-404 in-line between my CDJ 200's and the mixer. The sound that I'm getting out of the 404 is terrible. Heavy distortion, sounds ...
