    Hello everyone,

    I'm looking forward to upgrading my scratch game by purchasing Reloop 7 turntables and the Traktor Kontrol Z2.

    My preamp is a Presonus Firestudio Project with BX5 monitors and I'd like to run the Z2 mixer through my preamp. I checked the Traktor's pdf manual and it says that I can connect the MAIN OUT outputs on the back panel using XLR outputs. But where do I plug them into the preamp? On the back panel there's several possibilities but I'm not sure which one it is (see attached file below).

    You do not connect it on the back there are only outputs (except the one spdif) you have to connect it on the front to 2 of the 6 mic line inputs.

    Hi Uwe,

    Forgive me for my ignorance. Yes indeed, it would make way more sense to plug it in the Mic lines on the front panel, right?

    No problem you are welcome, better ask before then do something wrong.

    Just to make sure I don't end up buying the wrong cables.
    I need 2 female (Z2) to male (presonus mic input) XLR connectors, right?
    Cheers.
