Hey guys;

Using Windows 10 on a PC (let me know if you need specs later) have two consoles. A DDJ-SX (serato) console connected via RCA cables to a XDJ-RX2 console (Rekordbox)

If I have the SX turned off I get no static when our artists perform on the RX2; but as soon as I turn the SX on and plug the usb connection from the laptop to the SX, we get LOUD static from the speakers. We usually have to have the music up loud for the audience/viewers to not notice the static.

What could this be? I have switched out the RCA cables and also switched out the usb connection cable from the laptop to the console and still we get static when the SX is on and connected.
 
Ok update; seems like when I unplug the usb cable connection from my DDJ-SX console to my laptop, the static goes away while the XDJ-RX2 is still on and connected; but as soon as I plug my laptop back into the SX, BAM......the static comes back and its VERY LOUD. I will post up a photo of my Mic/Aux. Like all of green is full and static.

So as you can see my ENTIRE Mic/Aux almost if full from this static Im getting back when I plug in my DDJ-SX to laptop.
 
Ok just a quick UPDATE; SO I noticed that my TRIM knob on the RX2 (located under the AUX switch) was all the way up. NOT good. I guess one of our guest DJ's may had turned it all the way up. So I turned it all the way down and the static went away. I turned the trim knob up to about 2 levels so its low, and then turned my main on the SX up to 12 o clock and this helped a LOT. Static low but you can still hear static but its very low now and not loud. If I play music, the static you cant hear. Now its only if I stop playing music.

So now Im starting to think it may be my RCA cable going from the SX (booth out) going to the XDJ-RX2 (aux in), but what is odd is this RCA cable is like brand new. I just bought it from Best Buy 2 weeks ago. Its not gold plated but its a standard red/black Y to Y cable.
