Or how to plug into it?? I have to spin at a store tomorrow and when I went to go check out the connection to the house speakers that's what I found. I spun at a different location before and they had standard RCA inputs. Nobody at the store has a clue what kind of adapter I need, but I need the master out from my mixer to somehow connect with that. I figured maybe it unscrewed so I could strip an RCA cord and just thread the wires into it, but it doesn't unscrew. I took this picture (I know it's a bad picture) to Guitar Center and nobody there had a clue what to do. I can take my own speakers but ultimately I (and I'm sure the store) would be happier plugging into their P.A.

While that is funny, it doesn't really help me

Matt, you should post this in the dj/producer forum - might get an answer (or a lead, at least) there.

what make/model amplifier is it?

I have no idea, that connection is on the wall on the other side of the store just like an electrical outlet. I can't plug directly into the amp because it's behind the counter and they don't want me running a cord all the way through the store.

Those look like rca female ends with some kind of cover/protector plugged in connector. I used to play at this hookah lounge down at Virginia Tech and I plugged my mixer into a wall jack with rca ends.

So you think I should take some pliers or a small wrench and just see what's behind it?

i have a feeling those caps are just some kind of protector, that can be removed, for the female connector.

Werd, thanks man I'll definitely be relieved if I can pop those off and plug the RCA in. Carrying my speakers from the garage to the store would be a rather large pain in the ass

from a dj mixer standpoint, the output can only be 1/4", XLR, or rca.
those ends definitely aren't xlr connections and 1/4" female jacks don't stick out like that, so they have to be rca.

That's a good point. Actually the first thought from the guitar center peeps was that it might be an audio coax connection, but there's no pinhole for it to connect so that would be impossible, your suggestion makes much more sense to me.

I've seen those before! When I was a kid in the early 80s I saw those in Canada. I think they come out. You need good fingernails to do it.
Those look like Bare wire screws, if they screw out a little,you put a +/- wire on each post. Or they might be wireless speakers, and you need to find the head unit.
