Q2 What kind of PC/Mac or smartphone do I need to use with the unit?: A2

The supported PC/Mac and smartphone types may change depending on the app/DJ software you use.
Read details on each app [here].

To monitor sound with your headphones, the L (left side) and R (right side) audio signals must be accurately separated and outputted from the headphone jack of your PC/Mac or smartphone.

We recommend you check this beforehand by playing the video [here] with your headphones connected.
There's no problem if the channel (left or right side of the headphones) where audio is heard and the speaker moving on the screen are in sync while the video is playing.
If audio is heard from both sides of the headphones regardless of the speaker movement on screen, you can't monitor sound properly. In that case, you'll need to change the settings on your PC/Mac or smartphone in advance.
*For details, contact the manufacturer of your PC/Mac or smartphone.
