Equipment
There
is a difference between
professional sound
equipment for live
musicians and home
stereo products.
Just think back to the
last event you were at
where there was a DJ or
a band...
Was the sound quality
terrible?
Were the speakers
old looking and all beat
up?
Were the speakers making
a "hissing or humming"
sound?
Was the DJ's voice
muffled and distorted like he/she was
talking into a paper
bag?
Did the microphone
squeal, pop, or hiss
when it was turned on?
Was there "Dead Air"
between songs that
seemed like forever?
Did the song skip
because the CD was
scratched?
Did the DJ table look
disorganized with cords
and equipment all over
the place?
If so, you have
experienced the
"DJ Nightmare Syndrome"
You can avoid the
"Syndrome" by hiring
A
DJ TO GO to perform at
your next event!!!
Speakers
Most DJ's and bands use
traditional " speakers
on a stick" which are
very loud near the
speaker and very shallow
in the back of the room.
Most times, people in
the front of the room
will complain that the
music is too loud while
others in the back will
say they can't hear.
Have you ever noticed
that yourself? Most
bands and DJ's use
"directional" speakers,
meaning that the sound
goes out straight
forward through one
large horn which
provides ear-bleeding
sounds when you walk by.
Some of these speakers
may be made cheaply and
distort or sound
"canny".
Personal Amplification
System
You've become familiar
with Bose for
superior sound quality
products. Now,
A DJ TO GO
is proud to announce the
addition of the Bose
Personal Amplification
System for professional
musicians. This speaker
system is a totally new
approach to providing
rich, quality sound in
any room without hurting
your ears, no matter
where you're sitting.
With the Bose Personal
Amplification System,
the sound is projected
in a 180 degree pattern
for even dispersion
throughout the whole
room. Guests sitting in
the front will not be
bothered by the pleasant
sound. Guests in the
back will be able to
hear just as good. The
speakers don't look nor
sound like your ordinary
speaker. Each PAS stands
7' tall and is
cylindrical with smaller
speakers angled in
different directions.
The bass bins provide
rich sounding bass at
floor level.
This speaker system is
very, very expensive and
you probably will not
find your "average
weekend warrior DJ"
using these speakers.
But I am not your
average DJ and my
customers are worth
it!!!
Computerized Sound
System

A
DJ TO GO
uses
DJ Power's
Lunch Box
Computerized System.
With this powerful
system, I can carry tens
of thousands of songs
compressed into MP3
format. I can
pre-program your whole
event before I even get
to the venue. I can find
songs and re-arrange
your playlist within
just seconds. The
program allows me to mix
one song into the next
without any pauses or
"dead air" between
songs.
Most professional
production companies
such as Dick Clark,
Carnival Cruise Lines,
Miss America Pageant,
Hard Rock Cafe' and
others, use this
specially made computer.
Most Mobile DJ's do not
use the system because
it is expensive. I have
seen the light and have
been using the Lunchbox
version for the last 2
1/2 years. The system
specifications are out
of this world!!! It
features a 640 GB hard
drive, 2 GB RAM, a touch
screen monitor, a
message center so I can
type in and display
messages such as
sequence of events at
weddings for all guests
to see, and also has
the capability to play
music videos and also do
Karaoke!!!
No illegally downloaded
music here!!!
All
of the music I have
installed on both of my
computers have come
directly from CD's
I own. I use a computer
program which reads my
CD's and converts them
into an MP3 file at a
very high bit rate for
better than CD sound
quality. Best thing is,
MP3's will not skip like
traditional CD's.
Know
anyone who downloads
music for free?
Report those that do to
the
R.I.A.A.
Microphones
A DJ TO GO uses two
Shure SLX Series UHF
wireless microphones.
Each microphone system
is multi-channel which
allows me to pick out
the clearest possible
signal in your area for
static free and drop out
free reception. I
currently have two hand
held, wireless, SM-58
microphones for use to
make toasts or other
announcements without
being tied to the DJ
booth, a headset
microphone so I can make
any announcements in
your reception facility
hands free, and a Lapel
omni-directional
microphone for wedding
ceremonies. Shure
microphones sets the
standard for others to
follow!!!
Professionally Rack
Mounted Equipment
Have you ever been to a
wedding or party where
you noticed the DJ had
all kinds of wires all
over the place? Did you
notice any equipment
just stacked one on top
of the other? Was the DJ
table clustered, messy,
and disorganized?
No need to worry with
A DJ TO GO.
All of my equipment is
professionally rack
mounted in a table top,
podium style case with
all of the wires neatly
tucked inside. Although
I am completely
computerized, I carry a
CD player just in case a
guest brings a CD.
The only things you will
see on my table is the
computer and podium
case.
Back Up Equipment
You never know when
equipment goes out. As a
back up plan, I also
carry a Dell Laptop with
another DJ software
program loaded with the
most popular music
throughout the decades.
I also have back up
speakers and microphones
handy just in case.
