hello,
I have joined the VDJ family after buying a Hercules RMX console and Im looking for someone who can help me with speakers setup.
I have 2 Omnitronic 400w speakers, their model number is, DX-1022 and im wondering how i can connect these speakers to the RMX. Im kinda noob on the connections, but from a bit of research i think they have speak-on connections. So how can i connect these? Do i need an amplifier? or can they connect directly to the RMX?
please help
thanks!
heres an image of the speaker

yessss you need an amplifier try looking for one with 1/4 or rca inputs (the outputs in the rmx are 1/4 and rca)and speakon outputs, otherwise you need to get adapters.

does a mixer do the same job as an amplifier?

Not unless it's a powered mixer! A pasisve mixer (not powered) will only let you mix and alter a channel's tone (such as high/mid/bass frequencies) and possibly add various effects, etc. A powered mixer will have an amp build in, so can also amplify the output.

go to your local maplins store, you will get a decent 1000w amplifier and mixer to get you going at a reasonable price.

thanks guys for the help.
went to maplins they didnt have what i wanted so i resorted to ebay.
bought:
1. SKYTEC PA-1000 1600W DJ POWER AMPLIFIER (this amp has the specs: 2 x 500 W Max at 8 Ohm, my speakers are 8Ohm)
2. 2x 2M-6.35MM 6.3MM 1/4" MONO TO PLUG JACK (to connect from RMX to amp)
3. 2x SPEAKON SPEAKON SPEAKER LEAD (connect amp to speakers)
thats right isnt it?

Nooooo000000hhhhhh.... kidding
you want to consider getting a four channel mixer or bigger so you can hook your rmx through, 2 channels for your rmx and the other two for back up etc, just in case the lappy goes down the pan.
you ok for your connections ?
and welcome to the family by the way...
