FAQs

What are the essential components of a DJ setup?

An essential DJ setup typically includes two turntables to play music (via jog wheels on a DJ controller or vinyl platters), a DJ mixer, headphones, and speakers. DJ controllers are a popular option for their versatility and ease of use, while turntables offer a more traditional approach using physical vinyl records. The DJ mixer allows you to blend seamlessly between tracks and the headphones enable you to monitor and queue the next song before it reaches your speakers, which project the master channel to the listener.

What's the difference between a DJ controller and a standalone mixer?

A DJ controller is an all-in-one unit that combines a mixer, jog wheels, and performance pads to control DJ software via your computer or USB. A standalone mixer is a separate unit designed to connect and control multiple audio sources like turntables or media players, giving you more flexibility and often higher-quality sound.

I'm a beginner, which DJ controller is a good starting point?

For beginners, we recommend starting with an entry-level DJ controller like the Pioneer DJ DDJ-200 or the Numark Mixtrack Pro FX. These controllers are easy to learn, affordable, and come bundled with user-friendly DJ software, making them perfect for getting started with mixing.

Do you sell turntables?

Yes! We carry a curated selection of turntables for both beginners and professionals, including models from renowned brands like Audio-Technica.

What accessories do I need for my DJ setup?

Besides a controller or turntables and a mixer, essential DJ accessories include headphones for monitoring and cueing, speakers to listen to the music, and cables to connect everything together. We also offer a range of optional accessories like DJ bags, slipmats, and vinyl cleaning kits to enhance your performance and protect your gear.
