Disc Jockey Equipment
Protect Your Stuff
DJs need disc jockey equipment just as cooks and chefs need stoves, pots, and pans. For every job out there, a person needs certain materials to get it done. What is included in their equipment list may vary from DJ to DJ and really depends a great deal on their style of mixing and playing music.
Some people still use traditional DJ equipment whereas other disc jockeys have gone digital, investing in things like expensive laptops with mixing programs, electronic turntables and speakers and other things of that nature.
Check Out the Odyssey Carpeted Case
Since you're buying expensive equipment you want to care for it properly. Make sure you can transport your stuff so it's still in one piece wherever you go.
The
Odyssey Carpeted Case For Numark CD-MIX1 is a great piece of equipment that every DJ should make their own. It is 37 pounds (that's light to some, heavy for others) and it can hold one

along with up to 200 CDs. Being able to hold your CDs in one case and mix your music is something that a DJ must be able to do.
When you dreamed of becoming a DJ and saw the disc jockeys at clubs and parties, you may have seen
carpeted DJ equipment cases very much like this one. They are an important part of the overall DJ package, and no DJ equipment set is complete without cases like these for proper care of each piece of your equipment.
CD Players and Turntables are Imperative to Good DJ Play
Now that you know the infamous carpeted case is such an important piece of disc jockey equipment -- to protect your gear -- there are other things that are of vital importance as well. DJ CD players and turntables are the core of the DJ business for many people. Without the central items that contribute to DJ playing and entertainment, putting on the show you want to provide for your clients, there is little chance of success -- not without renting equipment. So be sure to plan accordingly.
Now, it is important to know that while DJ equipment is available for rental, that is not the best way to go. This is due to the fact that as a new DJ, work is bound to be infrequent at first. Renting equipment directly cuts into your profits, something that many beginners just cannot afford. If you have to rent, remember that expense as you quote prices for gigs. Make sure you earn enough to rent your gear and get paid a little, too.
Disc jockey equipment is not cheap, but it is a good investment into the business. Renting equipment just will not do for long, so slowly but surely building up the equipment you own is a must. As you purchase equipment take care of your gear. Transport it in good cases, and as you get additional disc jockey equipment such as turntables, speakers, amps and more get the right cases for those as well.
