    Nope, I’m pretty sure a mixer isn’t needed. Just hook the Mixtrack to your laptop with the USB, then connect the Mixtrack’s output RCAs to the speakers and you’re all set (assuming the speakers have RCA inputs which, hopefully they do).

    How are the Red Waves by the way? I’ve been considering getting a pair.

    ^ He won’t be able to use the MIC that way.

    btw… the RedWaves are decent for the price but HUGE.

    And the mic goes into the mic jack on the front of the Mixtrack. Am I forgetting something?

    My appologies. You are correct. I forgot the Mixtrack Pro has the mic input.
    I was using the regular mixtrack for a brief time with an external sound card.

    I really like the red waves, although I would suppose if you are looking for professional quality and you need your headphones to have 100% noice cancellation than they would not be the best, but besides that they are awesome for the price and the louder I play them somehow they stay crisp

    And No i do not beleive the speakers I would be getting would have Rca adapters, but I was also wondering If I used a sub speaker, and two other speakers (all of which using RCA) that is one more rca cable output I do not have on my mixtrack. If that makes sense to anyone please let me know I really wana figure this out so i can play soon.

    Normally your “Master” out would feed into an amp and the amp would then drive the speakers. However if you are using some type of powered speaker(s) then you would just plug straight into them.

    You will need to be more specific about the speakers that you intend to purchase to get a definitive answer.

    I can’t get that link to work! It says “sold out or unavailable”

    Is it a pair of these? http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/B212D.aspx

    If so you could connect directly from the Mixtrack into the powered speaker using a RCA to 1/4 inch cable and then link the other speaker to that one using the XLR connections.
