EQUIPMENT
AS A DJ’S EQUIPMENT IS ONE OF THEIR MOST IMPORTANT TOOLS OF
THEIR TRADE IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU WILL PROBABLY KNOW THE
LEAST ABOUT. IT IS TRUE THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE A DJ WALK IN WITH
A BOOM BOX, A HOME STEREO OR EVEN A WALKMAN. BUT HOW DO YOU
KNOW IF THE EQUIPMENT IS OF GOOD QUALITY, CAN FILL THE SPACE YOUR
IN AND IS WELL MAINTAINED.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS:
1. IS IT THE NAME BRAND YOU FIND IN YOUR LOCAL STORES?
2. IS IT CLEAN AND HAVE ALL THE KNOBS AND BUTTONS?
3. DOES IT HAVE A METER ON IT TO MEASURE THE SOUND?
4. ARE THE SPEAKERS FROM HOME OR LIKE YOU WOULD SEE IN A CLUB?
5. CAN YOU GO TO HEAR THE DJ/EMCEE PRIOR TO HIRING THEM?
6. DO THE SPEAKERS SOUND CLEAR OR MUFFLED?
7. DO THE SPEAKERS PUT OUT ENOUGH SOUND TO FILL A LARGE ROOM WITH
A SHARP CRISP SOUND?
8. WHAT KIND OF AMP DO THEY HAVE AND IS IT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO
SUPPORT THEIR SYSTEM?
9. IS THEIR EQUIPMENT IN SPECIAL CARRYING CASES OR IS IT JUST THROWN
INTO THEIR VEHICLE?
THESE ARE JUST A FEW TIPS OUT OF MANY TO LOOK AND LISTEN FOR WHEN
CHECKING OUT A DJ’S EQUIPMENT. THERE ARE MANY BRANDS OF
EQUIPMENT BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL DEALERS SUCH AS SAM ASH IN
TAMPA TO FIND OUT IF THE DJ THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO CHOOSE HAS
DECENT EQUIPMENT OR NOT.
