Gone are the days where you absolutely <em>had&nbsp;<\/em>to have two vinyl turntables and a mixer to perform. Of course, that classic set up is still viable. Some DJs even prefer it to today\u2019s options. But many more DJs use computers, media players, and all-in-one controllers. Personally, I\u2019ve even seen people perform using their tablet or smartphone.&nbsp;I\u2019m going to talk about a few options to set up your DJ gear for a live performance. This list is in no way conclusive. Although, it will cover the main ways DJs sort their equipment when they\u2019re about to rock a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Classic Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we\u2019ll talk about the classic set up \u2013 two turntables and a mixer. With this arrangement, the turntables are typically placed on either side of the mixer. They are then connected to the mixer&#8217;s input via RCA cables. The mixer\u2019s audio output is where you would plug in the appropriate cables to send the sound to your speaker system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of turntable and DJ mixer you use can come down to many factors including if you\u2019d like to use a digital interface, FX, and even performance pads. For example, if you just need a fairly straightforward and affordable mixer, you could use something like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/num4black.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Numark M4 3-Channel mixer<\/a>. The M4 doesn\u2019t have a lot of bells and whistles, but is more than capable of being your main mixer in a DJ set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-73284\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/num4black.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/num4black.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/num4black-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/num4black-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/num4black-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Denon SC6000M Prime Professional DJ Media Player with 10.1&#8243; Multi-Touch Display and 8.5&#8243; Motorized Platter. Photo from Adorama.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For the DJ who is looking for even more control and FX, one could go with something like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/raseventy.html\">Rane SEVENTY 2-Channel mixer<\/a>. A big advantage the SEVENTY has over other mixers is that it comes ready to play with Serato. This is one of the most popular DJ software available on the market today. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rane.com\/seventy-seventyxus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEVENTY<\/a> also comes with 16 performance pads and a range of FX to truly make your sets more dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Media Player and Mixer Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next setup we\u2019ll discuss is &nbsp;similar to the two turntables and a mixer described above. In this case, we\u2019re swapping the vinyl turntables for CDJs or Media Players. The placement of the equipment is usually the same with the mixer in the middle with the CDJs on either side. The Media Players are connected to the mixer input via RCA cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with mixers and turntables, there are also a wide variety of media players to choose from. You should choose based on your price range and the features you prefer. For a fully stocked media player with the touch and feel of vinyl, one could go with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ddjsc6kmprmx.html\">Denon SC6000M<\/a>, which comes with a 10.1\u201d multi-touch display and an 8.5\u201d motorized platter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-73283\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ddjsc6kmprmx.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ddjsc6kmprmx.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ddjsc6kmprmx-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ddjsc6kmprmx-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/ddjsc6kmprmx-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Denon SC6000M Prime Professional DJ Media Player with 10.1&#8243; Multi-Touch Display and 8.5&#8243; Motorized Platter. Photo from Adorama.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more standard media player feel, one could try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ddjsc5prixus.html\">Denon SC5000<\/a>. It has a slightly smaller touchscreen \u2014 coming in at 7\u201d \u2014 but is still packed full of features including eight performance pads. It also has the ability to sync to iTunes, Serato DJ Pro, and Traktor collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could pair any of the above (or any media player, really) with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ddjx1850prx.html?origterm=x1850+prime&amp;searchredirect=true\">Denon X1850 Club Mixer.&nbsp;<\/a>&nbsp;It&#8217;s a powerful 4-channel digital mixer with Multi-Assignable Inputs and Pro DJ FX. You\u2019d simply connect the media players to the mixer via RCA cables. You can access your music by plugging in a USB into one of the media players, or you can use a DJ software like Serato by purchasing a licensed version of the software and downloading the appropriate drivers to your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The All-in-One Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to play your music for anticipating crowds is by using an all-in-one system called a DJ controller. They can offer many of the same features as the media players and mixers mentioned above \u2014 but in one piece of equipment. Some of them are even small enough to fit into a backpack! A nice example of a compact controller is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nupartymix.html\">Numark Party Mix DJ Controller,<\/a> which despite its size, offers a decent amount of features including multiple pad modes, cool effects, and a built-in light show to create a party atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-73286\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"752\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nupartymix_3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nupartymix_3-1.jpg 752w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nupartymix_3-1-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><figcaption>Numark Party Mix DJ Controller with Built In Light Show. Photo from Adorama.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For something bigger and a little more advanced, one might opt for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ddjprime2xus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Denon Prime 2 Smart DJ Console<\/a> which is enabled for WiFi internet connectivity, has a &nbsp;7\u201d touchscreen, and multifunction performance pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a controller, setup can be even easier. Because it\u2019s all one unit, you can plug into your speaker system via an unbalanced RCA output or balanced XLR output. The output type will depend on the type of controller you have. Also depending on the controller, you\u2019ll be able to play your music from your computer using software like Serato, Traktor, or Virtual DJ, or plug in USB loaded with your favorite tracks and mix that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you decide which type of setup you\u2019re going to use, I encourage you to bring extra cords and cables. I can tell you from experience that you don\u2019t want to be caught out there with a damaged RCA or USB cable. You may not be able to play and, worst of all, the people won\u2019t be able to hear all the great music you\u2019ve prepared!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter whether you\u2019re new to the game or a seasoned veteran, if you want to just play for yourself in your home or rock out in front of a crowd, there are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/dj-equipment-guide-how-to-build-a-beginner-dj-setup-2\/\">DJ equipment<\/a> options to fit your needs and your budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to modern DJing, there is no one universal equipment setup.
