When someone plans to be a DJ, one of the major stumbling blocks is the astoundingly steep price of the equipment. That said, DJ equipment is not one-piece equipment, but an assembly of several components. A DJ can mix and match components of different qualities and price ranges to make the entire outfit suit a budget.
The greatest margin on price can be made on the sound mixers. Sound mixers can have a great number of features; and so their prices may be as low as $200 and also as high as $2000. A DJ working within a limited budget can opt for a small mixer, which could easily be afforded at $200 to $500. These mixers can work just as fine as big ones and are ideal buys for amateur DJs. Even big names in the DJ equipment market such as Numark, Gemini, Aiwa, Akai, etc. produce such small economy speakers.
If you want to be great at mixing then you should go with turntables before DVD, CD or MP3 players. Yes, turntables are more expensive, but there are some quite affordable ones from companies such as Gemini at around $400. Getting faster playing records without lag usually requires direct drive turntables and is prefered over beltdriven ones by most DJ’s.
Players are cheaper than turntables because they don’t offer the more advanced features that turntables have. Players only output audio and doesn’t allow for manipulation of sound like turntables do. DJs that just play original records go for players.
DJs trying to reduce their expenses on equipment can also shop around for speakers. The price of a speaker essentially depends upon its output. A low wattage speaker can be selected to save costs. There are small woofer-type speakers available that can output stereophonic sound and are available at prices at low as $20 apiece.
You can also get a DJ package which includes all of the most basic components you need and also headphones. You get a DJs discount for getting a package and they usually come with a pair of headphones to boot. Packages are available generally for the mixers.
Though it’s not great to use cheap equipment for DJing, DJs with creativity and talent will very well do a good job with cheap stuff. Most likely, buyers of equipment are amateur DJs who are uncertain of the profession and just want to mix at home or trying to get a few beats together.
