Headphones, Monitors, Cables & Amplifiers for DJs
Hey this is DJ Brady again on behalf of ExpertVillage.com. In this clip, we’ll go through the last four pieces of equipment you’ll need to set up your DJing system. The first piece of equipment we’ll talk about is often considered the most important piece of equipment that a DJ will use. I’ll be using the Sony MDRV-700 headphones, known for swivel cup and their large diaphragm speakers, they offer excellent bass response and great enclosure for isolating sound in your booth. The second piece of gear we’ll go over is the monitoring speaker, opposed to the headphones which you’ll be using to monitor what’s coming into the mix, this is what’s going to be playing live on the floor. The third piece of equipment we’ll discuss here is the amplifier, the make and model aren’t important, so long as you choose one that will effectively drive your speakers. The fourth thing we’ll discuss are the cables to connect your equipment together, since different makes and models will use different connections, we want to make sure that you get the correct cable for your application. Common connectors seen on standard equipment are XLR, RCA and Quarter Inch.
