Step-by-step

Connect your Phase to a power supply (5V) using a USB cable.

Plug your Phase Receiver into your mixer's Line inputs via RCA (choose 1/2 or 2/3 based on your preference).

Connect the USB from your mixer to your laptop and set the Deck source selector on USB (A or B) to activate DVS Mode.

Depending on your setup, you might need to go to Rekordbox settings and select the audio interface, and head to the DVS tab to make sure the DVS function is enabled.

Set the virtual decks to "Relative" mode.

In the Phase Manager's "Setup" tab, select the "Rekordbox" DVS signal.

Now, place your Remotes on top of your records, and wait a few seconds for the calibration to complete before you start spinning.

You're all set!
