DJ Controllers

DJ controllers are very popular with both beginner and experienced DJs, and are widely used. They are designed to help a DJ to mix music, and they combine elements of traditional decks and a mixer into one unit, while also including lots of extra useful features. However a DJ controller is not essential, and some DJs may choose an alternative set-up. For instance some DJs prefer a traditional set up of two decks and a mixer, while others may choose a DJ CD mixer instead.

There are a variety of types of DJ controller available to meet different needs, and we offer a hand-picked selection of high-quality controllers. Most controllers feature a two turntable design and are used in combination with a laptop/PC and DJ software. However, each controller will vary in the exact features and functions provided, for instance some will include; crossfade, filter EQ, hot cue, beatmatch, and an assistant feature. The size of each controller also differs, with some specifically designed to be small and compact. Additionally some units include extras such as headphones and microphones. You can compare each type by viewing our product specifications, or please speak to our friendly Electromarket team for advice.

To find the best DJ controller for you, consider your individual needs and budget.

The DJ software provided with each controller also varies, for instance DJUCED has great features for beginners, such as beatmatch guides, while Serato Lite is suited to users with previous controller experience.

DJ controllers have many benefits, making them a popular choice for both experienced and beginner DJs. Firstly, they are lightweight, portable, and easy to set-up, making them ideal for mobile DJs. They are also cheaper than a traditional set-up which would involve purchasing two separate decks and a mixer. Additionally, they include computer software which provides many useful features, such as the ability to record your sets.
