CD DECKS & TURNTABLES

Our extensive inventory of CD decks and turntables will help you find just the right equipment to make your next DJ gig ideal. There are options like single-deck players which feature a single turntable or CD drive, multi-decks which consist of two, and combo decks which have decks and a mixer rolled into one.

 
DJ MIXERS

There are several key features that distinguish a DJ mixer from a regular mixer, one of the most prominent being the crossfader. This allows one sound clip to be faded out while another is simultaneously faded in. Another major feature is its ability to play back and cue up sounds on headphones from non-playing sources like external drives, allowing you to preview a soundclip or test out a segue before the audience hears it. Most DJ mixers have anywhere between two and six inputs for sound sources and usually two microphone inputs, and some will also allow you to add effects, loops, and multiple sound layers. No matter what kind of features you're looking for, our collection of DJ mixers is sure to have something that works for you!

 
SPEAKERS AND AMPS

DJ speakers tend to fall under one of two categories: active (aka "powered") and passive. An active speaker has an amplifier built in, while a passive speaker has to rely on another source, such as a power amplifier. Both have their pros and cons - if convenience is most important to you, an active speaker would be a good choice as both the speaker and amplifier are included. Passive speakers, on the other hand, are not only cheaper and lighter but also give you the freedom to use any amplifier you'd like in your connection, making it preferable to musicians who value flexibility in their sound. No matter which you prefer, we're here to help satisfy your every amplification need!

 
DJ SOFTWARE

If you're looking to organize, edit, and mix music on your computer, check out our collection of DJ software! Most programs include controls for pitch, volume and beats per minute, as well as visualization screens which allow you to see your work as it's being created. We've got programs for live DJing, as well as software for creating your own mixes at home.
