Music

If you are new to DJing you’ve probably found yourself overwhelmed by the amount of DJ equipment available for sale online.  You probably already know whether you want to go mobile and just work at functions and weddings or hit the decks at the hottest nightclubs in town.  What you probably haven’t realised though is that while being a DJ does take skill, a good DJ is only as good as his equipment.

The type of DJ equipment you need ultimately depends on what type of DJing you will be doing.  If you are sticking to mobile functions, a good form of DJ software is imperative as you’ll need to store a wide variety of music all in one place.  Likewise if you’re heading for the clubs you’ll need some killer decks and a few extras to make the experience as interactive as possible.

Your main DJ equipment will consist of:

• A turn table, CD player or laptop (depending on your choice of function)
• Mixing Desk
• Speakers – mobile DJs prefer active speakers whilst nightclub DJs prefer passive
• Microphones
• Headphones

Of course you will probably find that as you get into DJing that you will need some extra equipment but I’ve tried to outline the basics.  Have fun!
