I know this doesn't have XLR or balanced outputs.... But has anyone used this at a club with a good sound system and noticed bad sound quality?

I think you'll love it. I really do. The quality is excellent, and it's super portable, and like it said, the built in sound card makes it well worth the money.

Balanced outputs are only needed to combat audio degradation in long cables. Since you're likely to be pretty close to the club's sound system inputs, there is no need for a balanced output

The built-in sound card is really, I think, the key feature of the z1. As far as I understand, it does a good job balancing internally. The sound output is pretty excellent.

No. Everything's fine!Used on almost all types of sound systems at clubs, bars, on tour etc. completely satisfied.

I used it with a Nad D3020 as a kinda of pre amp before connecting to club system bass was superb !

i don't think there are any bells or whistles on this turntable. as for you signal strength are you sure your plugs are correct? an audio line out will have a different signal strength than a headphone jack.

I would not recommend this for performing quality. Its cheap for a reason. I suggest Shure in ear monitors or simply powered 12" floor monitor Behringer makes a decent priced model

No, sound quality is still excellent. Try moving it to another location just in case you are picking up interference from something else nearby.

Hi. It´s probably defective,, but I always use the headphone or aux "out" to an extarnal speakers, the sound from the built in speakers is not good, so before you return it, maybe try that, I got myself 2,1 speakers from Logitech and they are amazing and they only cost like 100 $...

No, I have used like that for about a year, but if you prefer even a better sound quality, I recommend you to get an Amplifyer. It boost the bass and overall sound clearness.

I tried it at a concert and the video looks good, but the sound volume decreases very much as soon as the low bass notes come in. I guess you could edit it afterwards and make it better. It does pick up everything very well when there's no bass, even when the audience is cheering or even when someone in the audience yells something. Here's a little video I made to demonstrate the quality. (Note: youtube compressed the video, but the sound is like the original video.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO0hDh8rZkg

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

Nope, sorry! You get adequate sound reproduction without much power behind it. I would suggest that because the speakers are of, ah, "minimal quality" the base probably isn't too deep. For what it's worth, I haven't been bothered by the base on any of my mp3 songs. Hope that helps!

you can try xlr - (1/4" or TRS) cable but adding phantom power i don't think will do anything to improve quality with XLR-TRS, now if you had XLR - XLR you get a cleaner sound with phantom power but if you don't care about noise your first choice may work in some cases but i've had the sound drop out all together using XLR-TRS.

Yes it is you have to incorporate some of the features like lo-cut and limiter functions and gauge your levels for the best quality recording. And like Rodney said and I'll add, it depends on where you are located ,and the venue you're in. If it's open air it, will pick everything up. If it's a smaller venture i.e. nightclub etc.. Your results will very.. You will be using headphones to monitor the mix right? You will be recording at lower levels to compensate for the noise and placement of the recorder is crucial.

Get a refund. Even if you get it to work the sound quality will be terrible. If you have an aux input I would suggest the Harmon Kordon BTA-10.

I can respond on the sound quality part... It says in the owners manual to have the unit volume all the way up and then tune up your music source. I use it for my Zumba (R) classes and sounds great at a higher volume level. I love it!

I actually returned my hisonic wireless mics. I didn't even get through one use and the mics quit working. Maybe you will have better luck, I have dealt with several different brands, this was my least favorite. For a sound system, it depends on what you want to do? There is a Fender Passport system that is very portable and will put out a good sound for small gatherings, it has multiple inputs so you can plug in an MP3 player, computer or iphone to play music. You can adjust the volume of the mic and music to get a good mix. Major lesson, either put the speakers on a stand or something above peoples heads that way everyone can hear it. If you put it on the floor, the sound will not travel through people and someone won't hear her.

I would give it a solid "decent". I believe I was expecting better, and looked for something else. In the course of trying more expensive Sennheiser, B&W;, Beats models, I came to feel the less than perfect isolation was way more than offset by everything else. Audio quality is fabulous and so is the design and fit and finish. Let me know how you go on this. Ed

I havent updated my review. I would skip this turntable all together. Its loud doesn't sound good . The changes of you getting a defective turntable is around 90%. If you have a bose system get a pro ject essential or a carbon. I have the carbon and it sounds like a 1000 dollar turntable.

If you are getting unsatisfactory sound from two separate sources it has nothing to do with the set. I have the same shouldn't and it sounds fine to me. I would suggest going into your equalizer settings and adjusting until you find the amount of treble you like.
