Sujet: Cue Volume too low using Numark DJIO

Ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes.

Hi there,

I currently use Numark's DJIO audiocard with VDJ Pro 6.0.7. The problem is that Cue Volume through DJIO audiocard's Headphones output is just too low for a loud club dj'ing environment.

Would there be a way to increase the CUE volume in VDJ somehow, besides moving the headphone_volume slider to 100%?

Somebody suggested i get a heaphone amplifier, but that's just another little box to carry around with you. :-/

Kind regards from Vilnius! ;)

Anybody?? :-/
 

I think that a headphone amp is the only solution.
 

Obviously I will have to buy another sound card. On to another section of the forum...
 

You could try headphone_gain - Map it to a knob/slider of a MIID controller or create a keyboard shortcut (E.g: headphone_gain 60%

NOTE: Values above 50% will increase gain, but you will get distortion if you increase it by too much.
 

How about buying a pair of headphones that have a battery powered gain in them. I use the Stanton DJ Pro 3000 and they take a "watch" battery that powers an internal amp located inside the earcups. I can't tell you how well they work or not since I don't use this feature.

The other option is to use a pair of headphones that have a higher sensitivity rating. A higher sensitivity translates into louder sound given the same power output of the source. This actually can make a HUGE difference between one set of phones and another.
 

Hello djpasha.lt,

What are your headphones (brand, model, impedance)?
The higher the headphones impedance, the lower the sound in the headphones for a given level of headphones preamplification, that is why low impedance headphones are recommended in DJing (while higher impedance headphones are used in hifi).

If your headphones impedance exceed 64 ohms, then the model of headphones you have choosen may not be made for DJing.
For reference:
- Pioneer HDJ-1000: 40-ohm impedance
- Denon HP1000: 36-ohm impedance
- Panasonic RP-DJ600: 32-ohm impedance
