Hey guys, I just bought a Zoom H4N and I run anm RCA from the REC OUT on the DJM800 to the LINE on the H4N yet cannot get recordable sound. Somebody please help me, it's driving me insane! I've tried using the bottom inputs but it says use LINE for mixer output!

Am I correct in understanding that you're going from an RCA (REC output on the DJM) to an XLR (line input on the H4N)? I'm thinking the problem could be your cables / adapters.
G'day Pulse,
Just a Red/White RCA to a line on the H4N... line in is the same size as the RCA
Uhm, where exactly are you connecting them?
To the lines/output jack, 2nd pic, far right above volume... in the user guide it has a pic of a DJ mixer going straight in there.
I previously also tried a 1/4 to XLR out of the input jacks, no dice either :|
I'll politely point out where it says "Phones / Line Output Jack".
The picture of the mixer is if you're sending the signal out from the H4N. ;)
Ah, that explains it! So I'm figuring I need a 1/4 XLR that turns into red/white RCA to plug into the record out?
Much thanks for the help!
Either that or use the booth output and go 1/4 to 1/4 (as the connector on the bottom of the H4N is a combo-jack.
