Active DJ Speaker Packages

We offer a wide range of DJ powered speaker packages that provide professional-level audio for well established and starting DJs. Offering stereo audio, using one of our active DJ speaker packages provides a level of immersion to your sound and well-rounded frequency responses.

Some of our kits include active/passive speaker sets. This means that one of the speakers is active and connected to mains power, and the other one is passive and connected to the main one using the appropriate cable. These sets only take up one power socket rather than two, which is ideal if you are in a venue with limited power sockets. Another advantage to this is that all of the controls will be located on one speaker, so you won't need to adjust settings separately to get them to match.

Included in many of our kits are speaker stands. By mounting the speakers onto speaker stands, the sound will be better dispersed and projected around the room. This improves the overall quality of the audio and makes for a more enjoyable experience.

Some of our active DJ speaker packages come with subwoofers as well as two satellite speakers. These are great for all-around solid frequency response in your audio, as the satellite speakers produce mainly the high and mid frequencies while the subwoofer handles all of the bass frequencies. For DJs who play heavy bass-oriented music, a separate subwoofer is ideal.

Understanding Active DJ Speaker Packages

Active DJ speaker packages are a great option for beginner and professional DJs and event organisers. These packages typically include everything you need to get started, including powered speakers, speaker stands, and cables, making setup straightforward and efficient. The included speakers feature an integrated amplifier which drives the speakers, reducing the need for additional equipment in your setup.

Benefits of DJ Powered Speaker Packages

Active DJ speaker packages offer several advantages due to their all-in-one nature. With built-in amplifiers, they eliminate the need for external amplification equipment, simplifying the setup process and reducing the amount of gear you need to transport. This convenience is ideal for DJs who frequently move between venues, allowing for quicker setup and teardown times.

Additionally, the active speakers often come with other useful integrated features such as equaliser controls and crossover networks, which help to optimise sound quality. They also often come with useful extras, such as speaker stands and cables so you have everything needed to get started.

Choosing the Active Speaker Package

When selecting an active DJ speaker package, consider the size of the venues you typically perform at. For small venues, a pair of 10 to 12-inch speakers will usually suffice. However, for larger venues opting for 15-inch speakers and adding a subwoofer can provide the extra power and bass response needed to fill the space effectively.

It is also important to consider the weight and portability of the speakers, especially if you’ll be moving them frequently. Additionally, consider the equipment that you need for your setup, for instance, look for a package that includes speaker stands and speaker bags to protect the speakers during transport.

Features to Look For

Modern active DJ speakers come with a variety of features designed to enhance their audio performance. The available features will vary between models, so take a look at the specifications to find the perfect match for you.

Bluetooth connectivity is a popular feature, providing the ability to wirelessly stream audio, making it easy to play tracks from a smart device. Built-in mixers offer the flexibility to connect different audio sources, such as microphones, instruments, and DJ controllers. Multiple input options, including XLR, and RCA connections, provide compatibility with a wide range of equipment, to suit different applications and preferences.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and performance of your active DJ speaker package. Regularly check the connections and cables for any signs of wear and tear. Keep the speakers clean and dust-free, and store them in a safe, dry place when not in use.

Using speaker covers and cases can also help protect your equipment during transport and storage. Additionally, avoid exposing your speakers to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the internal components.

Setting Up Active DJ Speakers

Here are some useful steps to set up your active DJ speakers:

Positioning the Speakers: Place the speakers on stands at an appropriate height, typically above head level, to ensure even sound distribution. Ensure they are stable and secure to avoid accidents during the event.

Connecting the Power: Connect the speakers to a power source using the provided power cables. Ensure that the power source is stable and can handle the load of the speakers.

Audio Connections: Use quality audio cables to connect your mixer or DJ controller to the speakers. Most active DJ speakers offer a variety of input options, such as XLR, and RCA connectors. Choose the appropriate cables and connect them securely.

Initial Volume Setting: Before turning on the speakers, ensure the volume controls are set to the lowest level. This helps prevent any sudden loud noises that could damage the speakers or your hearing.

Powering Up: Turn on the speakers and then gradually increase the volume to a moderate level. Adjust the mixer or DJ controller settings to match the output level of the speakers.

Sound Check: Play a track to test the sound. Walk around the venue to check the sound coverage and clarity. Adjust the speaker placement and volume settings as needed to achieve balanced sound throughout the area.

Monitoring and Adjustments: During the event, monitor the sound levels and make adjustments as necessary.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your active DJ speaker packages are set up correctly, providing high-quality sound for your event.
