Whether you’re a professional DJ or looking for a mixer for your next party, we have a list for you. DJ mixers make mixing party playlists and sounds seamless. Get everyone on the dance floor with one of these! Before you get mixin’, you’ll need to know a few things about DJ mixers. What good would a DJ be without a good mixer? Here are a few things we’ve found that make all the difference when choosing a DJ mixer for your next gig!
Channels: Mixing channels give you the opportunity to transform your playlist into a seamless flow of music. The number of channels you want will be based on how many songs you plan to mix together. For beginners, focus on getting a mixer with 2 to 4 channels.
USB: USB cords are one of the most popular ways to connect from one device to another. Having a USB connection can be helpful if you plan on connecting to other DJ equipment. Mixing may be easier with a USB plug-in.
Jog Wheels: Jog wheels allow you to “jog” between songs or audio. If you want to have full control over what sounds you cue up next, a jog wheel is a great feature to have. You can also scroll through an entire song using a jog wheel, too, giving you a sneak peek of what’s to come!
Weight: If you’re a DJ on the go, lugging around a heavy mixer is probably out of the question. Finding a mixer that is easy to transport is common sense for you if you travel to and from gigs regularly.
Size: Like the weight, knowing the size of the mixer will help with knowing where it will fit when traveling and when performing.
Warranty: No one likes a party foul! If your mixer fails to mix at your next gig, you want to make sure you can get it replaced or fixed without it falling back on you. Double check for a warranty and what it covers when you purchase your mixer.
Now that you know what to look for, let’s start the party. We’ve done all the research and found all of the best mixers for you.
