Wedding DJ Gear #5 - Speakers

Ah yes, speakers. Speakers are the backbone of any mobile DJ. In order to perform, the sound has got to come out of somewhere, and without the appropriate speakers, sounds can be distorted or simply not loud enough or sometimes too loud. There is quite a lot to consider when choosing the right speakers, so you'll want a DJ with lots of experience, that knows what works and what doesn't, and more importantly, has the right equipment for your event.

It may seem natural to just figure that the most expensive speakers are the best, but this is not the case. While good speakers certainly do not come cheap, price isn't the only determining factor. For example, you may want speakers that put our really crisp and good highs for melodic, guitar-driven music, or you may want full sounding mids and lows for bass-y hip hop or electronic beats. This is all to say that, the right DJ will have the right gear and know what to do with it, so make sure you choose someone whose knowledge and experience you can count on.

DJs who know what they're doing will know where to place the speakers, how high to raise the speaker stands, and what direction to point them in. These are all things that come into play when considering sound for any event.
