A Little Background

Without speakers, obviously there is no way to communicate your favorite tracks, mixes or original music to your audience in any live event. DJ speakers aren’t like home speakers you use for acoustic monitoring – they are meant to be played to your audience in a live club and this is why choosing the DJ speakers you would want to choose is important.

How We Picked

In choosing the best DJ speakers:
Consider if it is active or passive. This means that passive DJ speakers require an additional amplifier before it works or connected to an active speaker.
Make sure it fits in your club or space. DJ speakers can be bulky unless you go for a portable one – but for a DJ speaker, it is usually large like PA systems.
Portability adds value to DJ speakers as you can transport them from one place to another with ease.
