I will be the first to tell you that gear does not make a DJ company. I would be willing to bet that 9 out of 10 people never really notice the type of equipment a DJ uses, unless of course he or she is using cassettes tapes with their home stereo systems. If the music is coming out of the speakers, everything seems to be fine to the guests. As long as it isn’t too loud.
We make sure to not make our “gear” the top selling point. If any our DJs had to, we could probably do a finejob with cassette tapes. Just don’t ask us to sing if the speakers stop working. But, what does happen if things “stop working?”
This is where our beliefs in purchasing top of the line, industry standard, equipment sets us apart. You see, many people don’t want to spend the money on the best of the best equipment. They opt for mid level equipment. And there is nothing wrong with that, unless you ask the equipment to do what we ask it to do every week.
Many DJ companies have the DJ bring their own equipment. We supply all of the equipment to our DJs, and we spare no expense. So, for those gear heads out there, we use strictly pioneer CD players. We just finished our over haul on them too. We updated 10 systems with new MEP-7000 units. An absolutely incredible unit. All of our mixers are RANE and we have a ridiculous amount of Shure wireless microphones. It is the best line of Shures you can get.

There are a quite a few reasons why we believe we need to have the best equipment available. First and foremost, you deserve to have a company that uses top of the line gear. Second, we need to make sure that it works. Even our back up equipment is considered top of the line. Thirdly, we like to be consistent. Because we supply the equipment for every event we do, we know what is going out to each job and we know that it meets our standards.
The CD players are probably the biggest work horse of our whole system, so that is why we make sure there are the best. But here is the kicker. Since Pioneer is pretty much the industry leader in the CD player market (just look in every single club you go in, and you will see the CDJ-1000 players), you rarely ever have to upgrade the units. But with the unveiling of the MEP-7000, we knew we needed to have every single one our DJs using them. CD players, as well as the mixer, allow us to mix one song into the next. And the mixing that we do is what so many of our clients like and a reason they hire us. So these units are something we really can't live without. We don’t use computers and we don’t use facades to hide the DJ equipment. We want you to see what we do back there. It’s part of the show. It’s part of what makes your guests get up and dance.
We have received a lot of questions about our equipment in the past, so I hope this helps you understand what we use and why we use it.
