Power on all devices Pro DJ link connection on backside CDJ 2000 NXS 2 Player numbers.The connection on CDJ 2000 players is marked “link”. Connect 2 (or 3 or 4) DJ players to the switch.Pro DJ link connection setupĪ typical Pro DJ link setup could look something like this: The laptop (with Rekordbox) in this schematic is totally optional Most flat cables have super thin wires inside, which makes them incredibly susceptible to interference and cable breaks. The same goes for CAT6 which is more reliable than CAT5. If you have to bridge a large distance with your network cables, choose STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables over UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) for the same reasons as WiFi.Ī long cable acts an antenna for interference, which impacts speed and reliability. Let’s say, I hope you draw big crowds with a lot of mobile phones ? Since WiFi has a high latency and unreliable connection in environments with a lot of interference (like a crowded city or a night club), I wouldn’t recommend it.

Technically you could use a wireless router (WiFi) to make the whole setup wireless.įor example with the Rekordbox App on your mobile phone. Most Pioneer devices don’t have WiFi integrated. Nowadays I don’t think you can even buy hubs or 100Mbit network equipment anymore. I suspect a 100Mbit switch would work just fine, but to be on the safe side: choose 1Gbit switch. I would opt for a switch instead of a hub, because switches are faster. Maybe a bit unnecessary to say, but I want to have said it anyway: You also don’t put the cheapest tires under your shining red Ferrari. Technically the cheapest cables and the cheapest switch (or hub) would do the job just fine, but I would recommend A-brand cables and an A-brand switch for more reliability during your DJ sets. In this case you don’t need a separate network switch. Some mixers have a switch built in, like the DJM-2000 and DJM-TOUR1 mixer. 1x RJ45 1Gbit network switch (5 ports is enough for 5 devices) regular computer network equipment.3x UTP CAT5e (or even better CAT6) cables with RJ45 connectors on both sides.To connect 2 players and 1 mixer, you need: Therefore you can use standard computer network equipment. The Pro DJ link is a standard computer network protocol and therefore uses a standard network connection.
