Simple connection to a (portable) PC:
This is the simplest way to connect the "DJ-KONTROL 1" to a computer: just connect the unit to the PC
using the supplied USB-cable.
The sound quality and configuration both depend on the internal soundcard of your computer:
- Desktop PC: most desktop PCs are equipped with a multi-channel soundcard, you can easily
configure the master signal and headphones channel as separate outputs.
- Portable PC: most portable PCs (laptops) are only equipped with a 2channel soundcard. This
means that you will have limited routing possibilities:
Routing the master output in stereo: you will have no separate headphones output for
o
monitoring.
o Routing the master + headphones in mono: the master output will be routed to the left
output (mono) and the headphones monitoring to the right output (mono)
Using an extra soundcard: see next point.
