New DJ? Video on the earth cable from a vinyl turn table

Lesson Beginner Stage 1: Your First Setup November 2008

Contents of the video

Alright folks, this video is dedicated to the total and utter new DJ. Look in the description, follow the link and it will take you to djtutor.com. It will take you to a section dedicated to the new DJ who is just starting out and setting up their new gear. In this video we're going to be looking at one of these guys here. This is the earth cable you will have from most vinyl turntables. This has to be fitted to your mixer. On a lot of mixers you'll see a piece of metal like this that will poke out. You will also see above or around it, you'll see the wording ground. Per vinyl turntable you will need to attach this cable to the back of that and if you twist it clockwise that will secure that tightly to your mixer, therefore stopping any nasty buzzing sounds. Practice and enjoy.
