Phase Essential 4 decks setup: how to use four turntables ?

One Phase Receiver controls two decks only. It is not possible to use four turntables simultaneously with a single Receiver, regardless of the edition you own.

To perform with 4 decks, you need two Phase Essential units.

What you need

• 2 Phase Essential units (2 Receivers + 4 Remotes)
• A 4-channel DVS mixer or two audio interfaces (DVS mode), or a DJ software supporting 4-deck HID with two Phase units (HID mode)
• Firmware v9.0 on both units

How it works

Each Receiver handles two Remotes (deck A and deck B). With two Receivers, you control four decks independently. Both units are configured separately in Phase Manager.

Setup

1. Plug both Receivers into your computer via USB. Phase Manager will detect them as two separate units.
2. Configure each Receiver in Phase Manager: set the correct DVS signal for each unit (DVS mode), or verify HID recognition (HID mode).
3. Link the Remotes to their respective Receiver: long-press A or B in the correct dock.
4. Place the Remotes on the turntables and wait for the LEDs to turn solid before spinning.
5. In your DJ software, assign each Phase unit to the correct deck pair.

DVS mode: each Receiver needs its own RCA connections into the mixer. Set the mixer input to LINE on all four channels.

HID mode: both Receivers connect via USB only. Verify that your DJ software supports two simultaneous Phase HID units.
