It’s a simple two channel mixer that comes with none of the bells and whistles that you will find on modern controls. For many DJs, this is preferred, particularly if you like working with records or CDs.

Want to Enter the Digital Realm?

For anyone that is looking to take up DJing as a hobby or even as a profession, digital mixers can be a good choice. They are more suited to those who have limited space and who want an all in one package that includes the mixer as well as the control decks. Also known as DJ controllers, these devices are affordable and relatively easy to use.

A digital mixer will take the audio from a connected source like a laptop computer or smartphone. Different mixers have different capabilities, with some allowing you to shape the sound with various effects, and there are even mixers that incorporate scratch pads and performance pads for triggering samples that allow you to create music on the fly.

Simple DJ Equipment Packages for Small Events

buy DJ equipment packagesHiring a DJ for a small event can be expensive, particularly if you don’t have any of your own equipment. However, if you’re running a business that often hosts events, or even if you want to have a portable solution for family and friends, you can actually build your own system for a relatively low price.

Even if you’re currently an amateur DJ looking to make your way into the professional market, investing in a small DJ equipment package will give you the essential tools that you need to perform in small venues like clubhouses, halls, and private meeting rooms in events centers.

If you’re looking for the best affordable DJ equipment packages online, then you can find plenty of great options at Digital DJ Gear.

What to Look for When You Want to Buy DJ Equipment

With modern technology, the number of devices that you need for a simple setup has been reduced. In the past, you would need heavy turntable decks, a mixer, and a PA system to take your DJ show on the road. You would also need to invest in vinyl records, or CDs if you were using CD decks. With modern systems, you can get a mixer and digital DJ controllers in a single package, with options starting at reasonably low prices.

One great piece of gear for a simple DJ setup is the Hercules DJ Control Wave M3. This is a fantastic device for beginner DJs and professionals who need something ultra-portable for casual gigs. It includes a built-in mixer, two virtual deck DJ controllers, and it can interface with iOS and Android devices, as well as Mac and Windows PCs. You’ll be able to carry your digital music collection easily, and plug right into this awesome unit whenever you’re going to perform in a small venue. Although it doesn’t quite have all of the features of a larger DJ controller, it is versatile, compact, and lightweight. These benefits make it perfect when you are putting together a simple DJ equipment package.

With your controller and music taken care of, you’ll still need a basic PA system to get your sound out to the audience. While some venues will have their own systems, many private venues will not, especially those which aren’t specifically designed for events where a DJ would be required.

DJ EquipmentYou don’t need to invest in a large live sound system for smaller events, and you can instead go for an affordable (but reliable) option. Your best bet would be to choose powered speakers. These won’t require separate amplification and make things easier when you are setting up and packing down. For the smallest events, you’ll be able to get away with just two powered speakers, and if you’re on a tight budget, you can skip the speaker stands when you first buy the system. Although stands can help the sound to cut through a crowd, you can get by without them until you’re able to spend a little more money. A pair of EV 1000W powered speakers is a good starting point, particularly the ZLX-12P model.

If you have some flexibility in your budget, then consider choosing a pair of Peavey PVXp15P speakers. We offer these in a package with stands and cables, ensuring that you have everything for your short and long term needs.

With a digital DJ controller and a set of speakers, you’re all set to DJ at small to medium sized events, and you won’t need to carry a whole truckload of gear around with you. When you buy DJ equipment packages from our online store, you can even get free shipping throughout the contiguous United States.

Our prices are competitive with the industry’s lowest, so you can have the freedom to select from our extensive range to mix up the best package that meets your needs. Browse our range today, and find the best DJ equipment online. For a small investment, you can have pro-level gear that will allow you to make the most of any event, or could even get you started as a freelance DJ.

Tips for Getting the Most out of your Sound Recording Equipment

Are you looking to purchase sound recording equipment? Maybe you’re looking to record your first song, or maybe you’re looking to enhance the sound quality of videos. Whatever your reasons for purchasing recording equipment, there are some things you should consider before and after purchasing your equipment. This article will provide tips and information for potential concerns you may encounter before and after purchasing sound recording equipment and why we’re one of the best options when purchasing your equipment.

Equipment you will want to get started

Sound RecordingYou have decided you want to start recording but aren’t sure exactly what you need. Don’t fret, here are some pieces of equipment that you will want to consider before making a purchase. The first thing we recommend checking out is an audio interface, followed by your audio software and the computer you wish to use. An audio interface is a piece of hardware that connects to your computer. An interface may include ports for microphones, guitar amps, and instruments. Sounds made from devices connected to your audio interface are then transferred to your computer and are ready to be altered by your audio software.

After you have decided which audio interface, software, and computer you wish to use, there are some other studio recording equipment you will want to consider purchasing. This equipment will include the devices you wish to use with your interface, such as microphones and instruments. You will also want to consider what you want your music and sounds recorded on; the preferred option today is digital, but you can also use more traditional options like CD, DVD, or even tape recording. All this equipment purchased alone can easily break the bank, so it is important to note that there are budget-friendly alternatives. You may want to consider an all in one unit. These units are great for starting out, include the essentials, and are considerably more budget friendly.

Making a Smart Informed Purchase

studio recording equipmentThere is a vast variety of sound recording equipment on the market, some superior in quality and price. The process of purchasing this equipment can certainly be daunting for beginners. When people think of buying recording equipment, many assume it will be expensive; that isn’t necessarily the case. While you typically pay for what you get, the overall price in quality products has dropped drastically in recent years. Professional quality equipment can be purchased at a fraction of what it cost ten or even five years ago.

Even with this price reduction, making a smart and informed purchase can save you a lot of time and money. It is a good idea to speak with a professional when you’re looking to purchase recording equipment. An expert can steer you in the right direction in terms of your equipment need, quality, and price range. It is also a good idea to read customer reviews on a product, as other customer input can be invaluable when making a purchase.

Before you buy anything, you should make a list of the components you want and make sure these components are compatible with each other. There’s no shame in starting small; in fact, we recommend it. Making your own recording studio can be very expensive when all is said and done. You don’t want to be stuck with incompatible parts or blow a ton of money on equipment you seldom use or don’t need.

Why You Should Come to Us with Your Equipment Needs

While recording equipment has dropped in price over the years, price still plays a huge factor in the quality of equipment. With all the different pieces of equipment from different companies to consider, it is easy to be led astray with lackluster quality and inflated price. Some retailers boast exceptional quality at low cost, but it’s important to be wary of the deals that look too good to be true.

These “too good to be true” deals aren’t always easy to identify, especially if you’re new to sound recording equipment. Not to worry, we have you covered! We offer top of the line equipment at great prices. Our staff of professionals are qualified and passionate about giving you the tools and knowledge needed to get started. So what are you waiting for? Help us help you get the sound quality you want at the price you deserve!
