I just got this for my KDC-MP228, but just read online that people are using a CA-C1 Aux cable for that model. What's the difference between the 2?

The CAC2AX has a stereo 3.5mm headphone connection that can be plugged directly into an Ipod or another device's headphone jack. I believe the other cable has red and white (right and left) RCA connections. At first I was going to buy a cable similar to that and get an another cable with RCA to 3.5mm connections to attach to it so as to use my Ipod through my Kenwood car stereo, but I came across this cable and it saved me the trouble and money. I hope this helps.

Try using a different aux cable. I have had that issue before where I had a mono aux cable. I had no idea there was a difference. That's the last thing I can really think of.

Thank you all for the response, I am seriously considering getting a couple of these for my mobile DJ setup. Your help is greatly appreciated!

The iPOD connection is the same for those models and they fit the DAC. The music is so much clearer when you convert from digital.Enjoy!

Simple aux cable, you can use them with anything with an aux output (cd player, record player, etc.). I use mine with a 2008 imac and am very happy for the price

I concur with exactly what jb said... I plugged it into an older Dennon recevier phono jacks and it sounded awful, as soon as plugged in to a aux input, sounded like it should. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is not a little needle lift/drop thingy :) I think the model that replaced the one I bought does have it.

I got a kit from the internet campatible with the system with an external aux connet; you may be better researching for a similar solution.Thanks,

Hey I was stuck in your boat as well. Today, I bought the Auvio 1/8" 3ft stereo cable from Radio Shack for $16.50 after taxes. The cable works perfectly with my Studios. The cable also feels more durable and looks nice.

Hello Marjus! It all depends on how you want to hook it up, meaning that if you use USB out for the music you would need a small USB Dac with RCA out puts or you could use a USB DAC with balanced outputs as the KRK takes RCA and balanced inputs. They do not have a digital input on the back of the KRK so no input for Coax or SPDIF directly. If you go from the MAC SPDIF out without using USB, then you need a cable that is SPDIF mini (like for a MAC) to RCA left and Right, now this cable you will want to be able to split apart, one to the left side and one to the right the distance that you have your speakers placed. I think I mentioned this in my review that you have to get a cable that you can split apart. So in essence it all depends on how you want to export your sound to the speakers. But I love them, I have them on speaker stands because I did not want to give up desk real estate. My setup is like this: ASUS lap top&gt; USB sound out&gt; Calyx Coffee Dac&gt; Mini single ended RCA (like from a computer) to Mini Balanced RCA Left side speaker and right side speaker. Hope that helps! Matt

Thanks for the update! I'll look into the BX-1021, did you have to use a special cable to connect it to the IM600? Altec told me last week that the sub-woofer for the VS-2421 would work as well. I'm little leary as they have given me bad advice before. My remote for the IM600 died back in March, it's taken me this long to get a replacement. They said it shipped, then said it was out of stock and would ship when they got them in (2 months ago), didn't ship, had to call (2 weeks ago) with still no remote, called again last week, hopefully it's on it's way. Not impressed with their CS.

I was wondering the same thing. I did a line by line comparison of the specs from the Pioneer site and noticed very minor differences between the two. It could be that other than for an extra connector or two they are the same under the cover.

could be bad, I did the same thing as you wanting to replace my winegard ap-8700, with the cm 7777. got less channels so I returned it, guessing it was bad, just make sure you have the connectors in right place on the pre amp, I still have my wingard but keeps dropping channels, works best when it rains believe it or not

If you use i-20 SPDIF (digital coax/optical output) it should bypass its internal DAC, at least it is what PURE announces. Mine sounds amazing, but I sincerely don't know exactly where convert process occurs. In my case I've connected it through SPDIF to M1DAC Musical Fidelity and all sources connected to i-20 sounds amazing.

OK.... this is a USB *input* - which is what I assume you wanted to know.The USB input on the DC-1 supports all standard sample rates (44.1k, 48k, 88k, 96k, 176k, 192k) at 16 and 24 bit depth.It uses the USB Audio Class 2 (UAC2) USB audio standard - which requires a driver (we provide it free) for a PC, but is built into modern Apple computers.The high performance USB interface chip we use on the DC-1 is the C-Media CM6631A.When you play a FLAC file on a computer or player, it is decoded by the player, and sent to the DAC as PCM.The audio output quality of the DC-1 is VERY good.

I own a C55D-A5380..... The jack is on the right side, beside the headphone jack....Or look in the manual pg 65 under Microphone jack.

This isn't an easy question to answer without the specifics of what you're trying to hook up. This is a guitar cable. It is mono and will work well in transferring a low power signal to an amp, etc. If you're trying to hook up an amp to a speaker for example, this is not what you want. For an already amplified signal you'll need a 1/4" speaker cable. There is a huge difference. One is shielded and meant to carry a high impedance signal to an amplification source, the other is not shielded and meant to carry a much stronger power signal with low impedance. You should Google the specifics of your gear because using this cable for instance to run from an amp head to a speaker could possibly cause major damage. I hope this helps!

Look at the pics and read the feature list! The rca in and out is for the tape send and return... these are not aux sends but simply a duplicate of the main l/r outputs but is not affected by the master fader. They say you can feed another device/mixer/amp with it but my guess it's -10db (consumer level) and not +4db (pro audio "line level").So, you have two 1/4 aux/monitor lines out, left and right main xlr and 1/4 outs outs, a 1/4 fx send for for if you want to use an external fx processor rather than the internal fx, control output to feed studio monitors or a headphone amp, four sub groups out that and finally a usb i/o but that I don't think that would be line level.
