What the controls are called on this device
The example device in the learning path is the DDJ-FLX4. This table translates every control from the course to this device — with the page of the manufacturer’s manual where it appears. If a control is missing, the manual does not list it.

|---|---|---|
| EQ high | EQ (HI) knob | 22 |
| EQ mid | EQ (MID) knob | 22 |
| EQ low | EQ (LOW) knob | 22 |
| Filter / colour | FILTER knobs A real filter per channel: low-pass to the left, high-pass to the right, centre position = original sound. | 22 |
| Tempo fader | TEMPO slider | 17 |
| Jog wheel | Jog wheel | 20 |
| Channel fader | Channel faders | 22 |
| Crossfader | Crossfader | 22 |

⚠️ The manual is the one for the DDJ-FLX6, NOT for the GT variant recommended in the buying guide. On top of that there is MERGE FX (p. 15) and a separate BEAT FX section (pp. 23–24). English edition — the page numbers refer to it.
What you still need
The device alone does not make an evening. What follows here comes from the connectors of your setup — for the devices whose manual is in our archive, with a page number.
For the build
RCA cable (2× phono)
The master output is an RCA socket. For active speakers with RCA inputs you need an RCA-to-RCA cable; if your speakers use jack or XLR, the other end has to match.
Deliberately without prices: a cable price is the most short-lived figure a page can carry. This says WHAT is missing, not what it costs.
