Our DJ kits for kids include audio mixers which are essential in a DJ setup. The ones in these packages are highly user-friendly and easy to use, which is great for kids who are just starting out. Including simple sliders and dials for volume control, EQ and crossfading, these mixers have minimal complexity.
Included in our children's DJ sets are active or passive speakers. Active speakers have in-built amplifiers and plug straight into a mains power source, which is simple to set up. Any kits including passive speakers will come with a separate power amplifier to send audio to them. These are also very simple to set up, and you have a volume control on one unit rather than having to worry about separate volume settings on two different active speakers.
Many of the active speakers in these kits have Bluetooth connectivity, and this can be utilised effectively in a DJ setup, but is more meant for casual music listening purposes. Knowing children, they won't want to be using the speakers for DJ purposes all the time, so having this connectivity makes them multi-purposeful should they want to use the speakers for general use.
Getting Started with DJ Kits for Kids
Introducing children to the world of DJing can be an exciting experience, opening up opportunities for creativity and musical exploration. When selecting DJ sets for kids, it's important to choose equipment that balances functionality with ease of use. Starter kits typically include all necessary components such as speakers, amplifiers, mixers, and headphones, designed to be user-friendly for young enthusiasts.
Key Components of a Children's DJ Set
Speakers and Amplifiers: High-quality sound output is essential for any DJ setup. Children’s DJ sets often come with compact, yet powerful speakers that deliver clear audio without overwhelming the young user. If the speakers have a passive design a suitable amplifier will be included to drive the speakers. Alternatively, if the speakers are active they feature an inbuilt amplifier.
Mixers and Controllers: At the heart of a DJ set is the mixer or controller. For kids, these are designed with intuitive interfaces, often featuring colourful buttons and simple controls that make it easy to learn the basics of mixing and beatmatching. Many also include built-in tutorials and light displays to guide young DJs through their first mixes.
Headphones and Microphones: Quality headphones are crucial for monitoring tracks and ensuring smooth transitions between songs. Children's DJ sets often include lightweight, comfortable headphones that provide clear sound. Additionally, some sets feature a microphone, adding another layer of fun to their DJ experience.
Benefits of DJing for Kids
Creativity and Expression: DJing is a fantastic outlet for children to express their creativity. It allows them to experiment with different genres, rhythms, and sounds, encouraging a deeper understanding and appreciation of music.
Technical Skills and Confidence: Learning to DJ can help children develop technical skills related to sound equipment and software. As they become more comfortable with the technology, their confidence grows, which can positively impact other areas of their life.
Social Interaction and Fun: DJing can be a social activity, perfect for parties and gatherings. It gives kids the chance to share their musical tastes with friends and family, fostering a sense of community and teamwork.
Choosing the Right DJ Set for Your Child
Age Appropriateness: It's important to select a DJ kit that matches your child's age and skill level. Younger children benefit from simplified setups with larger, easy-to-use buttons, while older kids might enjoy more advanced features that allow for greater creativity.
Software Compatibility: Many DJ kits for kids come with dedicated software that includes tutorials and user-friendly interfaces. Ensure that the software is compatible with your home computer or devices, and consider options that offer a variety of fun effects and features.
