Providing Sound for a DJ

Quite a fun task I must say. Especially when it's a good DJ.

People may not realize it, but sound equipment is quite expensive. I've had the privilege to be able to invest in good speakers and a good mixer. And it comes in quite handy when for example a DJ needs a big room to be 'bumping' for a big party.

So, what do we do exactly? Obviously, we bring in the speakers and mixer, and all the cables and power supplies needed to supply everything with power and sound. Next step is to figure out how to hook up the DJ's equipment to the mixer. DJ equipment usually use RCA cables. Something you must keep in mind since most mixers only accept mic or line cables, and therefore adapters are needed.

It's good to have loud music, but I like to also make sure we don't submit hearing loss by the end of the night to everyone. I tend to make sure the levels are loud but not ear piercing. With a bit of EQ, it is easily taken care of.

Aside from being able making a little of money, doing gigs like these are always fun. Afterall, this is part of the entertainment business, and there's no more fun than being able to provide some entertainment to everyone.

Let's hope more gigs like these show up.
