Velocity Connection Cables

emial Parts@americandj.com. cause It's not on the parts site yet.

I'm glad someone brought this up. I just got a Velocity and it came with a free Mixer and Case and boy the SKB case is lovely but the cables makes it hard to install the controller over the cd unit. Is there anyway AMDJ can make optional cables for the Velocity for us people that dont have enough space to work with in our cases? I think if the cables were like the ones that you use in a PC to connect each drive to the motherboard would easily fix the problem. I love my Velocity but it'd be much better with thinner cables.

I was kind of puzzled when I first hooked up the unit without the case on a table and there's 4 rubber feet on the bottom of the controller. But there's no way you can set it on the table flat because the cable connectors sticks out further way more than the rubber feet on the unit. It would be nice if they take this into consideration soon and come out with some new cables to replace the original ones. Cause honestly, I hate knowing that one of these days these cables are going to go bad on me in the middle of a gig from the pressure that I'm putting on them just to mount the unit flush in the case.



Thats the picture of my brand new Velocity. Just got it in the mail yesterday. It was taken without the cables hooked up and the real setup that I have now is with the control at the bottom and mixer up top. Wish I had an extra rack space so I can just move up the mixer and controller then the cables would be free from bending it so bad. Oh well, the tech support guy told me that they do the same with their test units or whatever and they had no problems with it. I'll keep my fingers crossed on that one!

well the velocity is real nice piece but this is the way i put it.....
-dual cd players = wires galore
- single units = wires no more

so....less wires = less headache

<=juss stickin my nose in this one....lol....btw....welcome to the forum fobsanova....

Hey thanks for the warm welcome dj fobster. I dont know about dual cd players having more wires than the single units. I have both and the singles have more cables than the dual. Unless you own some Pyle equipment???

And by the way, does people from American Audio read these boards and take any of our suggestions? Just wondering!

hhhmmm...u sure???

aaahh it dont matter....

i guess it all depends on how u have ur system set up..

Here is a standard setup up.

Dual

• 2 sets of RCA's
  
• 1 Power Cord
  
• 1 Cable from remote to transport unit
  
• 2 "Q-start" cables (optional)
  
  
• Total = 6 cables
  

2 Single units

• 2 sets of RCA's (1 for each unit)
  
• 2 Power Cords (1 for each unit)
  
• 0 Cable from remote to transport unit
  
• 2 "Q-start" cables (1 for each unit)
  
  
• Total = 6 cables
  

The math doesn't lie.

actually there are 2 control cables on a dual for a total of 7

For the Q start? I said 2 for the qstart. On all of the dual decks I have ever owned there was only one cable running between the players and controllers. Then again, I guess you should send me a 1000, or Velocity, so that I may see for myself.

there is one cable for control of each side of the player plus the Qstart. nice try on the request.
