Factors to Keep in Mind When Buying DJ Equipment

If you are a newbie DJ without the support of entertainment companies, hiring equipment is probably the trickiest part. How much should one buy, how much to rent, what equipment do you actually need - there are quite a few factors to consider before you decide. We give you some pointers to make this job easier for you:



Invest wisely
Before you go running to the bank, stop. DJ equipment can be prohibitively expensive. If you are planning to buy everything you can, you will end up making a giant sized hole in your pocket. Ask around and find out from professional DJs about the most reliable companies in the market. So before you go running do some research? Remember, the most expensive is not necessarily the best. Invest in brands like D&B Audiotechnik V series India. It looks good, gives good value for your money and is extremely adaptable for all kind of occasions.

Consider rentals
For most newbies the best option is going for sound and light rental. Buying all the instruments you need will simply become too expensive, especially if you need both sound and light. Most entertainment companies offer rentals that are just as good for temporary use. Invest in essentials like the D&B Audiotechnik V series India, while renting other hardware. This will also give you the time to slowly build up your own supplies.

Consider your clients
Before you decide on the list of instruments, take a stock of what you really need. What is your area of specialization and what is your market demographic? Is it weddings, nightclubs, corporate parties or big show events? This is crucial because your choice of equipment hinges on this. Both light and audio requirements can differ according to the venue and parties you cater to. Go for rentals for temporary one off assignments.

One of the best DJ agencies in India is Global Sound Management. With a rich bank of equipment and the expertise of renowned DJ Gaurav Malvai, GSM caters to a host of events.
