DJ Amplifiers

DJ amplifiers are designed for use by either professional or home DJs. They connect to your passive speakers, and provide the wattage needed for your speakers to operate and produce sound. The amplifier will include volume controls, enabling you to easily control the overall power output of your speakers. A selection of inputs and outputs will also be included, so that you can easily connect your equipment. Many units additionally have useful features, such as Bluetooth and an MP3 player. We offer a wide selection of amplifiers to suit the needs of all DJs, including beginners, professionals, and recording artists.

The type of speaker a DJ is using determines whether or not an amplifier is needed. If you are using passive speakers in your set up, then an amplifier is essential to provide the speakers with power. Alternatively, if you are using active speakers, these include an in-built amplifier to power them. This means a separate amplifier is not needed, and the speaker can connect directly to a mains power supply.

There are a wide variety of DJ amplifiers available to suit all users. Firstly the power rating of amplifiers varies significantly between units to suit different power requirements. We advise you to match your amplifier and speakers in terms of wattage and impedance to achieve the best results. All DJ amplifiers will include volume controls, however some will also include EQ controls, and stereo, parallel and bridge mode so that you can alter the output. DJ amplifiers will also differ in the inputs and outputs and features offered, although most will have a good selection to suit a variety of equipment.

DJ amplifiers are designed to be connected to passive speakers, and they supply speakers with the power they need to operate. Typically a pair of passive speakers will be used in a set-up, and possibly a passive subwoofer too. It is important to make sure your passive speakers and amplifier have compatible power ratings. Check the wattage and impedance of both by looking at the product specifications, and ensure a good match for the best performance. The wattage of your amplifier should be high enough for your combined speakers to work at maximum volume.

Setting up a DJ amplifier is easy and convenient. The first step is often to connect the amplifier to compatible passive speakers with speaker cables. Next, connect the amplifier to a mains power supply, however do not switch it on until the setup is complete. You can then wire your mixer or DJ controller to the amplifier, and any external audio sources to the AUX inputs, such as a record player or CD player. Some amplifiers include a Bluetooth receiver, enabling you to pair a smart device if desired to stream music wirelessly. An MP3 player may also be inbuilt, allowing you to insert a USB stick or SD card to play MP3 playlists.

The best amplifier for a DJ will vary, depending on the DJ’s usage and power requirements. DJ amplifiers differ in their wattage and impedance ratings, and it is important to make sure the amplifier’s ratings match the passive speakers in use, for an optimal performance. Some amplifiers also include EQ controls and a bridge and parallel mode, enabling you to alter the audio output. In addition, consider the inputs, outputs and features that you need.

A DJ will often have a selection of equipment in addition to a DJ amplifier. Passive speakers are a must, and these should match the amplifier in terms of wattage and impedance. We also recommend that you purchase a DJ controller or audio mixer, which will provide you with controls and effects to produce the best audio and music mixes. Other popular DJ equipment includes; speaker stands, a DJ booth, headphones and microphones. At Electromarket, we provide all of the DJ equipment that you may need, and also offer a selection of DJ starter kits to get you up and running.

The wattage of your DJ amplifier should match the wattage of your speakers for the best audio performance. If the wattage of your amplifier is lower than your speakers, they will not sound as good as they could. The power rating of amplifiers and speakers varies to meet the needs of all DJ’s. For instance, a bedroom DJ honing their skills would likely only need 250 watts, whereas a professional DJ would probably need 750+ watts, depending on the size of the venues where they will be performing.

The cost of a DJ amplifier varies, depending on the power of the system and the features included. Therefore consider your usage purposes when deciding how much to spend. Typically, higher powered amplifiers designed for larger venues will come at a greater cost, in comparison to more affordable compact models designed for bedroom use.
