Hello!

Could somebody help me?
If you have laptop, maya 44 usb and 2 turntables.. where you connect the earth from turntables? Laptop doesn't have his own earth connection because it's not connected directly to 220V like desktop computer.

Thanks!

you can connect to you mixer or to your amplifier, if you don't use neither mixer or amplifier you can also connect directly to the ground of plug

You need to connect the ground wire to the computer...don't know about what djvolis is saying but the instructions are clear that you aren't supposed to connect to the mixer like normal. Select a screw on the bottom of your laptop that is near the power supply..unscrew/connect the ground wires/tighten. Not sure of the whole 220V thing as my computer is plugged into 110. Maybe there's more info in the instructions.

As long as you screw it in hardware that is grounded (3 prong plug)regardless of the voltage

The voltage is only different depending on the area your mixing in. N. America = 110V, Europe (and a few other countries in that section of the world) = 220V.

The grounding is still performed the same way as DJ Andre Landry said

Just buy Numark TT-1 Decks, they have line outs, so you dont need to ground them.
