Pick your setup

Most DJ setups are one of these four. They differ in what plays the music and how close they are to a club booth.

DJ controller

Decks and a mixer in one unit that controls DJ software on a laptop. The most affordable way to start.

Good if you are new or play from a laptop.

Needs a computer? Usually yes.

Controllers & players →

Standalone system

Screens, decks and mixer in one unit that plays music from USB sticks or streaming, no laptop needed.

Good if you want a club workflow at home or mobile gigs.

Needs a computer? No.

Controllers & players →

Players and a mixer

Separate media players or CDJs with a club mixer: the setup found in most club booths.

Good if you play clubs or want room to grow.

Needs a computer? No, only for preparing music.

Mixers & effects →

Turntables

Vinyl decks with a mixer for playing records, scratching or digital vinyl systems (DVS).

Good if you collect or scratch vinyl.

Needs a computer? Only for DVS.

Turntables →

First setups

Three ways to start

What each first setup needs to be complete.

Category guide

DJ gear explained, category by category

DJ equipment is grouped by its place in the booth. Here is what you will find in each group.

DJ controllers control software such as rekordbox, Serato DJ or Traktor, with jog wheels, pads and a built-in mixer and sound card. Standalone systems add screens and play music from USB or streaming services without a laptop. Media players and CDJs are the individual decks used in club booths.

DJ mixers blend two or more sources with EQs, filters and a crossfader. Club mixers have four channels, effects and routing for players and turntables; battle mixers have two channels and a fast crossfader for scratching. Effect units add delays, echoes and filters on top.

DJ turntables are direct-drive decks with high torque, pitch control and stable speed. They play records or, with a digital vinyl system, control music files using timecode vinyl.

DJ headphones are closed-back to block out the club sound, loud enough for monitoring next to big speakers, and built with swivelling ear cups for one-ear listening. Durability and replaceable cables matter for gigging.

Cases, bags, stands and laptop stands, decksavers and cables to carry, protect and connect a DJ setup.

Buying guide

How to choose DJ gear

Six things to compare before you buy your first or next DJ setup.

Software first

Each controller works best with one DJ software: rekordbox, Serato DJ, Traktor or djay. If you plan to play club gear later, choose software that exports to it, so your library and cue points move with you.

Number of channels

Two channels are enough to mix one track into the next. Four channels let you layer acapellas, loops or extra decks, and match the mixers in most clubs.

Jog wheels and layout

Larger jog wheels feel closer to club players. If you want to move to club booths later, a controller with a club-style layout makes the switch easier.

Standalone or laptop

Standalone systems play from USB and streaming with no computer, which is quicker to set up and more reliable on gigs. Laptop controllers cost less and give access to software features.

Outputs

A booth output lets you hear yourself on a separate monitor speaker. Balanced XLR master outputs are needed to connect to most PA systems.

Headphones and monitors

Closed DJ headphones are essential. At home, a pair of active monitors placed at ear height shows you how your mix really sounds.

Glossary

DJ terms in plain words

Jog wheel
The platter on a player or controller used to nudge, search and scratch.
Hot cues
Saved points in a track that you trigger instantly with pads.

Quantize

Direct drive

FAQ

Questions we hear in the shop

Ask us for gear advice
What is the best way to start DJing?

A 2-channel DJ controller with included software, a pair of closed DJ headphones and speakers is the most affordable way to learn the basics.

Controller or CDJs?

A controller is cheaper and works with a laptop. CDJs or media players and a club mixer cost more but match what you find in most clubs.

Do I need a laptop?

For most controllers, yes. Standalone systems, media players and turntables work without one, although you still use a computer to prepare your music library.

Which DJ software should I choose?

Choose the software that suits the gear you want to play on later. rekordbox is common in clubs, Serato DJ is popular with scratch and open-format DJs, and Traktor and djay offer their own workflows.

Can I stream music to DJ with?

Many controllers and standalone systems connect to streaming services such as Beatport, Beatsource, SoundCloud or TIDAL. Check the product page for supported services.

What do I need for vinyl DJing?

Two direct-drive turntables, a DJ mixer, cartridges with styli, slipmats and headphones. With a digital vinyl system you can also control music files from records.

Can I try DJ setups in the shop?

Yes. Our Rotterdam showroom at Oude Binnenweg 38 has DJ gear set up to try; products marked “In Store” are on the shelf.
