So you’ve got the skills, but no equipment. Maybe it’s time you stop borrowing DJ audio equipment from your friends and get a set of your own. There are lots of components that you’re going to need when looking for DJ audio equipment. Not only that, but getting the most bang for your buck is just as crucial. It’s really a lot easier of a task than it sounds. Just remember the four main parts to your DJ system: audio, input devices, lighting, and cd storage stuff.

Audio - A quick and simple way to find all the audio parts you need is to buy a DJ speaker package. DJ speaker packages can come with as little as a pair of stereo PA speakers and an amplifier. Be careful, it’s all too easy to overspend on speakers. The best way to get the right audio is to mix and match speakers and amplifiers to your liking to find the best sound. Focus on quality rather than quantity. It’s easy to find an amplifier capable of outputting 1000 watts of power, but what use is it if you can’t even tell what’s playing. A quick way to tell the quality of your equipment is to look at the signal to noise ratio. A high ratio indicates higher quality equipment.

Input Devices - These devices can range from CD players to turntables to iPods, but really there are only a few input devices that you must have. Every DJ needs a microphone. You’ve got to be able to interact with your audience. Another key and probably the most defining equipment a DJ has are his or her turntables. After those two it’s really up to you what else you need. Most DJ’s save up and wait to buy quality parts. The great thing about DJ audio equipment is that you can always add more stuff later.

Lighting - The audio will get people to feel the beat, but to bring your audience to the next level you’re going to need some lighting. You want your audience to have the full audio-visual experience. The best type of lighting accentuates the beat of the music. There’s nothing more annoying than audio and lighting that are out of sync with each other, so find a good set of light, but don’t splurge in this area.

Storage - If you want to spend a little extra try getting some professional audio racks to keep everything organized and easy to move. I recommend getting cd storage stuff like audio racks with wheels, because they just save so much time and effort.
