How should I connect Phase to my DJ equipment?

Phase seamlessly integrates with any DVS DJ setup.

If you’re wondering how to set up your Phase with your DVS equipment, check our detailed setup guides, or click on the link that corresponds to your setup, and follow the directions:

• Detailed setup guides (Serato, Traktor, Rekordbox)
• DVS integrated mixer
• External DVS interface
• DVS controller

Setting up Phase with an integrated DVS mixer

• Plug the Phase Receiver to a power source (either a computer or a power outlet with a 5V/500mA USB adaptor) using the MWM USB cable.
• Set your mixer's source selector on the USB channel you’re using.
  
  ▶︎  Please note that this step doesn't apply when using Phase in HID mode with Serato DJ Pro. 
  
• Connect the audio outputs of the Receiver to the "Line" inputs of your mixer using the MWM RCA cables.
• In the audio settings of your DJ software, make sure that the inputs connected to your Phase are properly set on Line inputs to match the hardware connections, and that your mixer is selected as the main audio interface.
• Make sure you selected the DVS signal corresponding to your DJ software, in the Phase Manager "Setup" tab.
• Place the Remotes on your turntables. Allow the Remotes to calibrate, then spin the turntables. You should now hear your tracks playing. 

Additional setup tip 

Make sure the Receiver is positioned as close as possible to the Remotes, and that no object placed in between could disrupt the radio transmission.
