Those forked RCA cables for Serato...

I'm sure I've heard someone around here talking about these.. what exactly are they called and what is their purpose?

There is the Traktor Cable loom?

Essentially just a Y connector / piggy back connector for the Phone Feed...

Yeah the Y connector I guess.. what is it for? Does it eliminate the need for the thru RCA cables? How?

?

Saw these at Coherent and wondered wtf the purpose is..

They weren't mine were they?

The cables come into two parts - so if you wanted, you could leave one end permanently plugged in, and just plug the other end into the box you wanted it to interface with.

Really, if everyone had them, swapping from one DVS system to another, would be a piece of piss..

Hey, I have these, it's a piggy back rca that you plug into your phono input and then slot the phono sends into the back of them.

Set up is easy... you buy the piggyback heads and swap them onto your rcas or buy some pre made.

Then you wind up with 2 sets of standard rcs's and 2 sets with one normal end and one piggyback end.

label one set with a piggyback P1 abd the other piggyback set P2, label them at both ends.
label the standard rcas as L1 and L2, again label at both end.

Tape all four sets together with insulation tape leaving enough room at both ends to stretch around your ssl box and reach the mixer inputs at the other end, 6 inches or so...

now when you set up you'll know what cable goes where and don't have to muck about in the dark with individual leads.

I can and have been able to set up from scratch in less than the time it takes to play one decent house record.

questions....?.. it's easier to show you than to describe it. hope this helps.

I already label my regular RCA cables P1/P2/L1/L2 and have them taped up together with duct tape.. still don't see what the point of these piggyback cables is though.

for me it means being able to switch between records and the line feed on serato easily on a 2 channel mixer. plus set up is easy as...

are you playing records too?

Yep, vinyl + serato + CDs. Not on 2 channel mixers though.

Can I suggest if you cant do that, you need to practice some more?
