Speakers

 Speakers are one of the most common output devices used with
computer systems. Some speakers are designed to work specifically
with computers, while others can be hooked up to any type of sound
system. Regardless of their design, the purpose of speakers is to
produce audio output that can be heard by the listener.
 However I rather the Peavey speakers over the McGregor because it is
a more updated compared to the McGregor speakers.
Amplifier

 increase the volume of sound louder by increasing
the strength of electric signals.
 However I rather the ZED14 of amplifier because
they have 6 channels, which is more comfortable to
me.
Turntable

 – The circular horizontal platform that rotates a
gramophone record while it is being played. A DJ
uses a turntable to play vinyl records.
 I am fine using the DJ turntable because I am more
comfortable using it and I was able to understand
the some of the main things that I sound know about
. Also I rather the Unmark NS7 brand because they
are more updated.
Time Code System

 It separate track on which time references are
continually recorded in digital form as an aid to
editing.
 Also it allow you to store music on your laptop
rather than on the individual records.
LAPTOP COMPUTER

 Mac Book Pro is a computer device that allow you to
play and store music on it. So you can download DJ
software on it example virtual DJ.
 I rather the Mac Book Pro over windows computer
because they are virus free.
DJ Mixer

 A DJ mixer is a type of audio mixing console used
by disc jockeys. The key features that differentiate a
DJ mixer from other types of audio mixers are the
ability to redirect a non-playing source to
headphones and the presence of a crossfade, which
allows for an easier transition between two sources.
DJ mixers are also used to create DJ mixes.
DJ Headphones

 DJ headphones are what DJs use to listen to their
music privately to see if its going well out loud.
 Most DJs prefer strong lows and mids in their
headphones for mixing purposes, and to this end the
Pioneer HDJ500’s headphone perform the task
admirably.
MICROPHONE

 an instrument capable of transforming sound waves
into changes in electric currents or voltage, used in
recording or transmitting sound.
 I rather the Shure SM58 microphone out of all
because is one of the most popular live vocal
microphone in the world.
