Steps

  1. 1
    First of all, we are going to start by plugging in our headphones
    .
    There are two headphone inputs on the controller. One is 1/4-inch, which is for the bigger DJ-style headphone plugs, and the other is like the one that we use on other consumer electronics, an 1/8-inch port. We have the option of either 1/4 or 1/8 of an inch. In this video, the plug used is the smaller one. It is plugged in.

    We'll start with the speakers that we will be using
    .
    We'll notice that there are three different speaker outputs. We have "BOOTH OUT" for 1/4-inch jacks as well as RCA "MASTER OUT2" and XLR "MASTER OUT1". In this video, the RCA plugs will be used. They are color-coded. They are red and white. They must correspond with outputs: white for left.

    Next, we'll plug in the power
    .
    When the unit ships, the power supply may be disassembled. It may have an add-on, depending on in which country we are. We put the add-on into the supply until we hear a click.

  10. 10
    After that, we turn on the speakers or the amplifier
    .
    It is important that the amplifier or the speakers are always the last things that we turn on because we do not want to get a loud pop that can damage our speakers.

What am I missing from my DJ set and how do I connect my Pioneer DDJ-SB2 to my other equipment?

I bought a Pioneer DDJ-SB2 controller, passive 18in. sub-woofer, 3000w amplifier, AC powered 2-way PA speaker. Also all wires required for connection, how do I connect them all, please help? My situation is a bit more different because I am a beginner DJ, but I have been DJ on virtual DJ for few years, only now, I have had the time and money to get some professional equipment. I just don't know what to connect and to where.
