Included in our small DJ sets are active or passive pairs of speakers. Active speakers have a built-in amplifier so can be connected straight to a mains power source, while passive speakers need to be connected to an external amplifier to be powered. For a bedroom DJ, either of these are good choices. Active speakers mean that you have less equipment altogether as you don't have to factor a separate amplifier, while using passive speakers saves a power socket on your wall as it's only the amplifier that will need mains power.
For someone looking to get a new DJ setup, an audio mixer is essential. Having an audio mixer means that you can connect all of your devices such as your decks and laptops to one device and then control the audio from there. Our mixers have multiple line inputs to cater for this, and they have easy controls such as volume, EQ and crossfade, which is everything that a starting bedroom DJ will need.
Several of our bedroom DJ setups will include speaker stands to mount the speakers onto. These are great, as they provide a professional look to your setup, and they also save on floor space if you have limited space in your room. By having speaker stands, you also have your speakers at head-level, and this is ideal for the clearest and best-sounding audio possible so that mixing is a comfortable experience.
Starting Your Journey with a Bedroom DJ Setup
Embarking on your DJ journey with a bedroom DJ setup is an exciting and practical approach for beginners. This setup provides a low-pressure environment where you can learn and grow at your own pace and can serve as a stepping stone for those looking to transition from amateur to professional DJing.
If you're passionate about music and want to hone your skills, having a personal setup can be incredibly beneficial. It allows for convenient practice, experimentation, and recording at any time. Additionally, a dedicated space can foster creativity and provide a professional feel, even in a small setup.
For beginners, a small DJ setup offers an accessible entry point without the need for significant investment. It’s also ideal for hobbyists who enjoy mixing music for personal enjoyment or small gatherings. Having your own setup at home means you can learn at your own pace, explore different genres, and develop your unique style without the pressure of performing live.

Choosing the Right Equipment
When setting up a bedroom DJ setup, it is crucial to select the right equipment tailored to your needs. A small DJ set will typically include all the essential components like speakers, headphones, and a controller.
The DJ controller is the heart of your setup, allowing you to control your music and apply effects. Choose one that is user-friendly and suited to your skill level. Many controllers will come with DJ software, to run on your laptop or computer, enabling you to manage your tracks and control your equipment.
Look for compact yet powerful speakers that will ensure a high-quality sound without overwhelming your space. High-quality headphones are also crucial for monitoring your mix and catching every detail.
Consider additional accessories such as a DJ stand for organising your equipment, speaker stands to elevate yout speakers, and a microphone if you plan to include vocals in your sets.
