5 Tips For DJ Speakers

So you've purchased or rented new DJ speakers and now you're wondering just what in the world do I do with these things? This blog is here to offer you some helpful tips for your DJ speakers.

1. The first thing you need to think about with regards to DJ speakers is what size are they? Speakers come in all types of sizes and this can affect the volume and sound quality of what they play.

When you're in the market for a DJ speaker rentals like at Astro Audio Video and Lighting it's important to keep in mind what size speakers you will be renting. This is not just important with regards to the volume and sound quality that the speakers give you, it also matters with regards to where you will be setting up your speakers, which leads up to tip number two.

2. Always be thinking about the space in which you will be setting up your speakers. Are you doing a small venue or a large stage at an outdoor arena?

You want to make sure you have enough space for all of your equipment so keep it in mind when you're thinking about sound rentals like those you can do at Astro Audio Video and Lighting.

3. While we're on the topic don't forget about the weight of your DJ speaker rentals. You may have heavy or sturdier loudspeakers but they may also be difficult to move around. You will want to make sure you have the proper equipment to get everything in place and not get stuck trying to move something that's too heavy for one person. This is where it helps to have a crew who can work together to move heavy objects. 

And when lifting a heavy object don't forget to lift with legs. Never lift with your back. This can lead to serious injuries.

4. Always be thinking about where you're going to be placing your speakers within the confines of the venues where you are using them. This is something that's important when you are doing sound rentals or doing DJ speaker rentals. You want to be thinking about how to get the music to all parts of the venue so that everyone can hear and that no one feels left out. You definitely don't want someone who came to have a good time feeling like they're not getting their money's worth because they can't hear anything!

You should consider where your speaker height is going to be. If you put your speakers too low you are going to have a difficult time getting sound to the back of the audience. For example if the speaker is very low and there's a crowd of people in the first few rows, you're just going to be sending a ton of sound into that group of people. That's not going to be very good for the people in the back because they're going to be blocked by the bodies of the people in the first rows. 

5. Don't forget to have fun. Business is important and we always want to be thinking about how to make enough money that we can continue to do what we love but if we don't live in the moment, you might wonder what's the point?
