How to connect XDJ-RX to PC to Speakers

Slightly off topic, but keep in mind that what makes the HS7s fantastic studio monitors is also the same thing that makes them terrible for just sitting around listening to music for an extended length of time – they highlight audio imperfections. The HS7s have a very high listening fatigue due to the extremely flat response through most frequencies, meaning they can actually become unpleasant to listen to.

Not saying you can’t do it, but if you do, and you do find your head hurting a little after awhile, you might want to consider getting something a little warmer for day to day general listening.

You can always connect your Dj devices to the computer and have the audio be played through the speakers connected to the computer. I have a ‘normal’ Yamaha DSP AZ2 Amplifier hooked up in my studio with 2 sets of speakers connected that gives me an excellent sound for listening and preparing my music. I have my two workstations connected to the amplifier and to one of them, my secondary, I always have my DJ setup connected. In that computer I have all my old but still very good audio recording software running on a disk with Windows XP. Everything else, I use booting from another drive running Windows 10. The audio card is an old but very trustworthy Creative Audigy 2. Running the sound through the computer makes it also very easy to record everything I play on any of my DJ setups. I know you can do this on one of your usb ports on the RX, but doing it in the computer saves you the time to transfer the file when you may want to share it or edit the file before using it for something. I use XP because of my older audio and recording software, but just routing and capture the sound works just as fine in Windows 10. All you need to do is to find a nice output level on the RX that matches other sources you have, and then adjust the line input level in your computer, and you’re ready to go.
