Question
How would I go about adding an input for external audio (iPod, Computer) to my Audio Mixer Console? What wires and or adapters would I need, and where can I find these?
If your mixer has a standard hiZ line input it should match the level of the output of most portable devices. Thus, you only need a cord with the right ends or adapter plugs to match the output jack of the player to the input jack on the mixer.
)
For example, if you have RCA inputs somewhere on the mixer and your mp3 player has the miniature stereo plug you can solve that with a cord going from stereo mini to stereo rca.
