Were the Nuemark CD player audio outputs balanced or unbalanced, and
what kind of connector?

Couldn't see it as it was in a rack - and it was pretty darned obvious
he
wasn't going to let me get close to it anyway, much less pull a cable
out,
which was my first thought. It was also sorta obvious that somebody else
had
set the system up, and the dude there had been told "this knob makes it
louder". The sad part was, he wasn't the least bit interested in trying
to
figure out what might be wrong or try to fix the problem at all. He
tunred
his back on me, turned it up a bit and then resumed talking to his
friend
like I wasn't there. "Professional Audio Technicial" my ass!

That's why it's better for me to run my own sound when I get the chance,
huh?

OK, from the replies, my suspicions are confirmed, so I don't feel so
bad
now!

Thanks all!

YW !

Don't trust a DJ with *ANYTHING*. Many ppl I know literally *lock the
stuff
away* when they're around.

I once got called into my local venue that I look after on account of
'odd
sound' !

Needless to say it was after the DJ's Monday gig.

One of them must have found the *BRIDGED* switch on the bass amp ( 3 way
active
system ). Some smart Alec had heard that *bridged* meant *LOUDER*.

So the clowns pressed the switch ! They had no idea that you have to
entirely
re-connect the speakers to take *any* advantage of this ( if indeed any
advantage is possible - which it wasn't in this case anyway ).

Result. - " Bass goes away ". The dumb**** DJs are too dumb to realise
that what
they did was to put the left and right bass speaker stacks out of phase -
thereby *reducing* any BASS !

Beware. DJs are *always* dumb. In fact always even dumber than you'd ever
expect
! Terminally dumb in most cases actually.
