This genuinely puts the left channel to one pseudo-stereo output and the right to the other. Firstly, you need a DJ splitter cable (the one we recommend is here). Trouble is, getting any old splitter cable and plugging it in and hooking up your speakers and headphones isn’t enough. They’re easy enough to make, or hack together from cables you already own – this diagram explains the principle, and shows why standard audio splitter cables won’t work for DJing. Sure, you’re now playing in mono – as you plug your speakers into one of these outputs, and your headphones into the other – but it’s a little-known fact that most “real” club sound systems are in mono anyway, and it’s a very small price to pay to be able to DJ with the gear in front of you in exactly the same way all DJs do.
This semi-legendary “hack” works by splitting the stereo signal into two independent mono signals, one for each of your required outputs. If you’ve dug a bit deeper, you may have found out – like Gerald – that a DJ splitter cable can be your saviour.

I do not understand the routing nor how to set up the supplied MixVibes Cross LE software to allow me to use my splitter cables. I used the tips I found about a DJ splitter cable (stereo – going out to two mono) but I am struggling with the software. Our reader’s letter today is from Gerald, who writes: “I have an Ion Discover DJ controller. DJ splitter cables are a useful way of duping single stereo output gear (laptops, iOS devices…) into behaving like a real DJ mixer, giving both a headphones and a speakers output to enable ‘real’ DJing using them.
