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.

Our complete bedroom DJ setups include all the equipment needed to get started straight away. They are designed to offer everything you need to get started and grow your DJ skills effectively.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a bedroom DJ mean?

A bedroom DJ is an amateur or hobbyist DJ who primarily performs and practices in their own home, rather than in clubs or at public events. The term reflects the accessible nature of modern DJing, where anyone with a passion for music and the right tools can start mixing from the comfort of their own home.

Bedroom DJs typically use personal equipment, such as turntables, mixers, and DJ software, to create and mix music. They often share their mixes online, gaining an audience without needing a traditional venue.

How do you go from bedroom DJ to club DJ?

Transitioning from a bedroom DJ to a club DJ involves gaining experience, building a network, and promoting yourself effectively.

Start by recording high-quality mixes and sharing them on platforms like SoundCloud and Mixcloud. This helps you build an online presence and showcase your skills.

Attend local events and network with other DJs, promoters, and club owners. Offering to play at smaller venues or events can help you gain valuable experience and exposure.

Also, create a professional social media profile to promote your work and engage with your audience. Persistence, consistency, and continuous improvement are essential in making this transition.

How powerful should bedroom DJ speakers be?

For a bedroom DJ, speakers with a power range of 50 to 100 watts are typically sufficient. This range provides enough volume and clarity for mixing and practising without overwhelming the space, and annoying your neighbours!

Consider the size of your room when choosing speakers; smaller rooms require less power, while larger rooms may benefit from slightly more powerful speakers. It is also important to focus on sound quality and features like accurate frequency response, rather than just power. Good speakers will help you hear details in your mixes, aiding in better practice and performance preparation.

Can I be a DJ with just a laptop?

Yes, it is possible to begin your learning journey with just a laptop, however, as you progress you will require additional equipment.

Modern DJ software allows you to mix tracks, apply effects, and manage your music library directly from your computer. Using the laptop's built-in sound card and speakers, you can practise mixing at home and learn the basics.

While a laptop alone is enough to begin learning, additional equipment will enhance your performance and experience as you progress. For better control and sound quality, consider adding a USB DJ controller and headphones to your setup.

Is learning to be a DJ hard?

Learning to be a DJ can be challenging but is achievable with dedication and practice. The basics, such as beatmatching and mixing, can be mastered with time and patience.

Understanding music theory and developing a good ear for tracks will require continuous learning and exposure to different genres.

Online tutorials, courses, and practice sessions can significantly aid in the learning process.

While it takes time and effort to become proficient, the journey is rewarding and enjoyable for those passionate about music.

Can you become a DJ with no experience?

Yes, you can become a DJ with no experience. Many successful DJs started from scratch, learning the basics through online tutorials, courses, and practice. Dedication and persistence are the key to progressing from a beginner to a competent DJ.

Begin by familiarising yourself with essential DJ equipment and software. Numerous free resources are available to help you understand beatmatching, mixing, and track selection. Practise regularly to develop your skills and experiment with different music genres. In addition, networking with other DJs and attending local events can provide valuable insights and opportunities.

Where do DJs find their music?

DJs in the UK find their music from various sources, each offering unique advantages. Online music stores like Beatport and iTunes enable you to purchase a wide range of high-quality tracks across different genres. There are also streaming services, where you pay a monthly charge and can access music libraries. In addition, there are record pools, where you pay a subscription and can access a shared pool of online music.

Social media, music blogs, and forums are excellent for finding underground or emerging artists. Local record shops also remain valuable, especially for those who prefer vinyl, offering a chance to discover rare and classic tracks.

What do you need for a beginner DJ setup?

A beginner DJ setup requires a few essential components to get started. Firstly, you will need a DJ controller or turntables and a mixer, depending on your preference for digital or vinyl mixing. A reliable laptop or computer with DJ software is also crucial for managing and playing your music library.

Quality headphones are important for cueing tracks and monitoring your mixes, and a pair of speakers or studio monitors will help you hear your mixes clearly.

As you progress, you can add more advanced equipment, but a basic small DJ setup is sufficient for a strong start.

Can you be a self-taught DJ?

Yes, you can be a self-taught DJ. Many successful DJs have learned through self-study and practice. Start by exploring online tutorials, videos, and forums that offer guidance on DJing techniques and equipment.

Practise regularly to develop your skills in beatmatching, mixing, and track selection. Experiment with different genres and styles to find your unique sound. Networking with other DJs and attending events can also provide valuable insights and inspiration. With dedication and persistence, you can build a strong foundation and advance your DJing abilities on your own.

What equipment do I need to be a bedroom DJ?

To be a bedroom DJ, you'll need a few key pieces of equipment. First, a DJ controller or turntables and a mixer allow you to mix and manipulate tracks. A laptop or computer is essential for running DJ software and managing your music library. Quality headphones are also important for cueing and monitoring your mixes, and speakers or studio monitors enable you to hear your mixes clearly. This basic setup will help you start practising and developing your DJ skills.
