FAQs
Can I use this cable with Android devices?
This cable is specifically designed and optimized for iOS devices. While a 3.5mm connection might physically work on some Android devices, full functionality and software integration are not guaranteed.
Do I need any special software to use this cable?
The cable itself is plug-and-play. However, you need DJ software on your iOS device (like Traktor DJ) or computer (like Traktor PRO 3) that supports split audio output to utilize its features effectively.
What is the main benefit of using this cable?
The main benefit is enabling you to listen to your upcoming track privately through headphones (cue) while the main mix plays out to your audience or speakers, allowing for precise beatmatching and smooth transitions.
Is this cable compatible with all DJ apps on iOS?
It is engineered for Traktor DJ and Traktor PRO 3. It should be compatible with other iOS DJ apps that offer a 'split audio' or 'separate output' configuration option, but compatibility is not guaranteed for all third-party apps.
How do I ensure the audio is split correctly?
You need to configure the audio settings within your DJ software. Look for settings related to 'Audio Device', 'Output Routing', or 'Split Audio' and assign the headphone/cue output to one 3.5mm jack and the master output to the other.
What is the cable made of?
The cable features a silver-plated, oxygen-free copper construction for superior audio clarity and has gold-plated terminals for optimal connectivity.
Troubleshooting
No sound from main speakers
Ensure the correct female jack is connected to your speakers and that your software is configured to send the master output to this channel.
No sound from headphones
Verify that your headphones are plugged into the correct female jack and that the software's cueing function is active and assigned to this output.
Audio is distorted or low volume
Check that all connections are secure. Ensure the cable's gold-plated terminals are clean. Test with different headphones and speakers to rule out other equipment issues.
One channel (master or cue) is not working
Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Test by swapping headphone and speaker connections to the female jacks to see if the issue follows the jack or the output device.
