Thank you for the informative video.
Thanks for watching and your feedback
I watch all your videos. Good work
Thanks for watching and your feedback. It’s much appreciated.
have you used the proreck club 8000? also do you know which has better sound, this or the jbl partybox 1000? also do you know if you can run 2 proreck club 8000 together for a total of 4 subs and 4 sets of tweeters/midrange?
Thanks for watching and your question. I have never used the ProReck 8000 but it’s very similar to the 4000 which I’ve used many times. It sounds good with lots of high / mid range and decent low end. I’ve heard of the JBL partybox and I’ve heard it in a store but I don’t think i could compare them .. different systems. If you can afford the JBL speakers they will have more clarity in the highs and mids but the ProReck will have more low end in the two 18 inch subwoofers. My opinion. And Finally Yes , the ProReck 8000 has 2 XLR mix outputs which can connect to any other powered speakers or subwoofers. Thanks .
Thanks for feedback. I was wondering if I could run 2 proreck 8000 at once through Bluetooth. Like instead of just 1 system, 2

Hey DJ M...i really appreciate your tutorials, especially on the ProReck equipment. I recently bought a 4000, and thanx to your video was able to figure out the assembly, as of course they did not have any instructions. However, i would like to know if you have any idea how to hook up an external mixer board to/thru the powered sub? I run some outside gigs where more control over the mics and inputs would be real handy rather than on the back of the sub. I want to thank you in advance for your help----again i do appreciate your knowledge and time.
Same as any other input to ProReck. Run everything to your mixer but then just output to the ProReck input via RCA or XLR cables or 1/4 jacks . You choose what works best for your set up. Thanks
@@DjMartiniMidwest thank you again so much---i do appreciate your input and assistance----keep up the great work
@@DjMartiniMidwest Hey DJ martini so I have a question that I'm not quite sure about so if I have a soundtech 306d powered mixer, could I connect that into the mix out input from the proreck 4000 powered subwoofer to power more speakers? Or does it have to be another powered subwoofer?
@@curtpyro1518 on the ProReck 4000 the mix out will only send a Signal and will not power another speaker. From the mix out it has to be another powered /active speaker or sub .
Your soundtech looks like it will power two speakers . Or maybe one sub 8 ohms 300 watts max. (Guessing 150 rms ) Then just use the 1/4 jack output on the front of your soundtech to go to the ProReck system input . Just need the right cable 1/4 jack to RCA or 1/4 to 3.5mm cable or 1/4 mono to dual 1/4 … to go from your mixer to ProReck. Thanks
Really appreciate your videos and taking time out to do this videos for people to make better decisions before buying one these.
I have a question, I bought the proteck club 3000. When I did all the connect, only one arrays is playing. If you have any suggestions I will be grateful. Thank you 🙏🏾
Hello , I really appreciate the feedback and support.
On the ProReck 3000 (question) are you saying only one array speaker works on the column of arrays .. or only the left or right channel on one side is working? A couple quick suggestions .. always check for bad cables (even if new) , double check connectors / connections, and check audio output cables RCA or 1/4 jack cables . On the array speakers .. they have multiple inputs try them all . ProReck systems are a little different setup since they all work from one of the powered subwoofers. Thanks .
@@DjMartiniMidwest I believe it’s the right output on the sub that’s not working. I also replaced the cables, xlr, 1/4 cable, even rca, nothing.
@@DJVYNNIE sorry to hear your experience .. you might have to reach out to ProReck for repair or replacement. See what they can do . Thanks
I have a Proreck 3000 system and just purchased a PR18 sub to add to the 2 12” subs. What would be the best way to hook up the PR18 to the 3000? It’s different than the 4000.
@@ryanmcweeney I would use a RCA to XLR cable . 3000 system has RCA outputs and the PR18 has XLR inputs . Reference cable needed . Amazon affiliate

Thanks
Can u add other speaker to the 4000
Yes, You can add any other powered Pa speaker or sub . Thanks
Do you get different sound quality for Stereo and Mono ?
Yes , basically stereo is recorded with 2 microphones separating the sound / music /vocals in two channels L&R channels . Which gives more depth , and sound separation in the music or sounds . Mono is recorded with one microphone usually centered in middle. Mono is fine though if you only have one speaker though..because it will ensure you hear everything recorded equally. Although regarding the cables in the video mono cables (for PA speakers) are ok because you’re still getting L & R separation from your mixer, Dj controller, soundboard, or software. Thanks .
Thanks for the detailed videos. Can I hook up a pair of 15" mackie powered speakers to this system?
Thanks for watching and your feedback. Absolutely. It’s the Same idea as powered sub just link out from the ProReck’s output to your speakers . You Will just need to find you correct cables for your application as the 3000 /3200 systems only have RCA outs & The 4000 has XLR outs . Thanks
Hey DJM - Thanks for the info, I had a quick question. The method for XLR to RCA & XLR to 3.5. You are plugging the XLR to the left channel, how is that providing a stero L&R output signal?
Thanks for watching and your question.. kinda of a technical question. But depending on the set up a 3.5 or rca to XLR cable will have stereo. Unless your device input has a left and right XLR ports then you need both inputs L&R to make stereo. So just depends & you need the right cable but they make both types…
I just ordered the proreck club 3500 with a 15 in sub and the 8 array speakers do u have any videos of reviews on it
Thanks for watching and sharing. The 3500 has similar speakers / arrays as the ProReck AEF or the club 3000 system . Check out those videos for more information. Thanks .
I like it.
Thanks for watching and your feedback.
The proreck 3000 doesnt have the output you showed. How to hook it to a additional proreck sub?
The ProReck 3000 has a RCA monitor output . So you can use a RCA cable from the output to the RCA input of other ProReck system. Also the PR18 sub has a RCA input. Or they also make RCA to XLR cables if you want or wish to connect that way.

@DjMartiniMidwest thanks, have you tested the PRORECK SP-18X? I have that in my cart right now but don't know if I should go with the PR18 instead.
@@lag3432 I have owned a PR18 and it is a good and reliable subwoofer. It’s more a traditional with low crossover dial and RCA /XLR inputs . It Also weighed 70 pounds. The New SP-18 is almost 90 pounds. But …It claims more in all ways . Not sure about DSP settings or the only high pass or full range buttons ..? So I’m Unsure if has a low crossover to block highs / midrange ? Unfortunately I have never tested one . If you don’t care about portability and want more power / coverage then the SP-18 is probably a good option to mix with the ProReck systems. But the PR18 I have tested and it worked well for me . My thoughts ..Thanks . Reference

I have proreck club 6000. Gonna add proreck 18" sub to system. Do I need to hook up to both channels on 3rd sub XLR or just one channel.
On the 6000 it has two mix outputs . On subwoofer you only need one channel unless your hooking up more subwoofers or powered speakers . Thanks .
Hello Dj martini, similar question to this one. I recently purchased the 6000 as well. Long story short, I ended up with 2 of their powered subs that come with the Club 6000 setup and the passive Subwoofer. So I now have 2 active/powered subwoofers and 1 passive. I have the Rockville rpm 870 mixer. Any suggestions on how I can set this up to take advantage of that extra powered sub? Is it even possible???? Appreciate you in advance, thanks a million!
Hey buddy listen. I just got the pro 4000 system. I was just looking at the set of earthquake arrays gen 2. Are they better then the arrays that come with the proreck 4000 system. If so I was gonna buy the set of earthquakes and switch the proreck arrays out for these earthquakes. What do u think ?
Thanks for watching and your question . I’ve never used the earthquake array speakers but if they sound better and you like them .. i see no reason they won’t work with the ProReck 4000 system. Mix and match 👍🏽
I have 2 ProReck18 Subs with 2 EV 12 Speakers. Want to hook up to my PA Presonus 16 live.
Can I use this speaker with Proreck party 15s
Yes , the Party 15s have RCA outputs on the rear for speaker . So with the proper cable you could run it to any powered subwoofer or a ProReck subwoofer system. The ProReck subwoofer also have XLR mix outputs so with a RCA to XLR cable you can connect to speaker too . Thanks
Can I connect this subwoofer to prorek party 12s
Can I connect 2 powered Proreck subs to another passive Proreck sub?
Yes , the ProReck system subs have XLR mix outputs or RCA monitor outputs and a dedicated passive sub output . The single sub units like the PR18 or the New SP series will not power a passive sub .. but will connect to any other powered subwoofer. Thanks .
@@DjMartiniMidwest How would you connect if you have 2 of the proreck 6000 powered subs and 1 passive if you don’t have a mixer?
@@612eddie The ProReck 6000 has an output to power a passive subwoofer . So just use one of the powered sub outputs for power you one passive. Thanks .
Hey buddy I just bought the proreck 4000 could I add the proreck PR18 powered sub to go along with the system to add more bass
Absolutely, it does have two XLR mix outputs . Works any other powered dj type subwoofer. Thanks.
@@DjMartiniMidwest cool I’m ordering the pr18 right now 💪🏾
Could you recommend me a Proreck setup for hip hop dance studio that is 3,000 sqft big? Could I do a proreck club 4000 and add another Proreck 18" 2000 subwoofer? Would like to have trhe same volume coming from both sides of the room so the club 4000 alone might be weird cause bass would come from only 1 sub on one side of the room. Or do you think a Proreck club 3000 or 3200 is enough? 3200 is unfortunately out of stock and i need that bass! Any advice is appreciated!
I would go with ProReck 4000 for a bigger venue and I would add that sub as well . Sound like a good plan . Thanks.
Does it only work for subs ?
Yes , the monitor output can work for any PA speaker or powered speaker. Thanks
@@DjMartiniMidwest I just went out and brought a proreck 4000
