Main types of DJ and audio gear
DJ controllers
DJ controllers combine jog wheels, faders, knobs and an audio interface in a single unit. They connect to your laptop or tablet via USB and work with software like Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor or Virtual DJ.
Perfect for:
- starting out with a compact, all-in-one setup;
- mobile DJs who travel a lot;
- small venues that already provide a PA system.
DJ mixers
The DJ mixer is the heart of a classic setup. It connects two or more sources (turntables, media players, standalone controllers) and lets you shape levels, EQ, filters and effects.
- 2-channel mixers: ideal for basic A/B mixing.
- 4-channel mixers: great when you add extra decks, samplers or external gear.
- Models with built-in audio interface: useful for streaming and hybrid digital/analog setups.
Turntables, CDJs and media players
For DJs who want the feel of vinyl or the reliability of club-standard decks:
- DJ turntables: a must for scratching, hip-hop and classic house.
- CDJs / media players: USB or network-based decks, standard in most clubs.
- Usually combined with a dedicated mixer for a “club-ready” configuration.
PA systems and amplification
The audio side includes:
- compact powered speakers with small mixers for parties and mobile gigs;
- column PA systems for acoustic sets, speeches and elegant events;
- subwoofers for bass-heavy styles like EDM, techno and hip-hop.
Headphones, monitors and microphones
- DJ headphones: closed-back, rotatable cups, high SPL handling.
- Studio monitors: nearfield speakers for producing, mixing and critical listening.
- Dynamic microphones: robust vocal mics for MCs, singers and presenters.
How to choose the right DJ and audio gear
1. Where will you play?
- Bedroom / home studio Go for a compact controller, a pair of studio monitors and closed-back headphones.
- Private parties and small venues Controller + small powered PA (10"/12" speakers) with proper stands and cables.
- Clubs and festivals Modular setup with pro players, a club mixer and a dedicated PA handled by a sound engineer.
2. What styles do you play?
- EDM, techno, house: precise jogs, tight loops, powerful FX.
- Hip-hop, trap, R&B: smooth crossfader, good pads for cue and samples.
- Pop, rock, throwback sets: solid library management, reliable controller, comfy headphones.
3. Budget and experience level
- Beginner: an entry-level controller + headphones is usually the smartest combo.
- Intermediate: better controller/mixer, decent powered speakers, a basic vocal mic.
- Pro: modular setup with pro decks, club mixer and a dedicated PA.
4. Connectivity and portability
Always check:
- balanced outputs (XLR or TRS);
- compatibility with your favorite software;
- size and weight if you’re travelling a lot.
Price ranges (rough guide)
Prices vary between new and used gear, but as a rough idea:
- Entry level Basic controller + headphones + small speakers: around €300–600 new, often less if you go used.
- Mid range Better controller or mixer + 10"/12" PA system: roughly €600–1,500.
- Pro range Club-standard decks, mixer and dedicated PA: from about €1,500 upwards, easily over €3,000.

4 practical tips to get the most from your DJ and audio setup
- Learn gain staging, not just the master volume Keep channel levels in the “green/yellow” area, avoid clipping and leave headroom for the PA.
- Practice beatmatching beyond the sync button Start around 120 BPM, gradually turn off sync and train your ears and hands.
- Record your sets Listening back reveals where you lose energy, overuse FX or misjudge dynamics.
- Protect your ears Use filtered earplugs in clubs and keep your headphone level reasonable. Your career depends on your hearing.

DJ and Audio – FAQ
Which gear do I need to start DJing? To start DJing you mainly need an entry-level controller with a built-in audio interface, a pair of closed-back headphones and a listening system (studio monitors or small powered speakers). On Muviber you’ll find many used bundles that include everything you need.
Is a DJ controller better than two decks and a separate mixer? If you’re just starting out or travelling a lot, a controller is cheaper, lighter and more convenient. A setup with separate decks and a mixer is ideal once you start playing in clubs and want a rig that matches professional standards.
How many watts do I need for a private party? For a house party or a small venue, a system around 300–800 watts RMS is usually enough; for larger rooms or outdoor events you’ll need more power and at least one subwoofer. Quality matters more than raw watt numbers.
Can I find checked and used DJ gear on Muviber? On Muviber you’ll find listings from musicians, bands and shops. You can compare photos, descriptions and conditions, evaluate the seller and pick the used DJ and audio gear that offers the best value for your budget.
