You’ve probably heard the wisdom that has been passed down through the ages when it comes to buying stocks: “Buy low and sell high.” The same philosophy applies to anything you buy, and DJ equipment is no different.
Us DJs like to have the latest and coolest stuff. Unfortunately it comes at a price. Often a high price. Good stuff doesn’t come cheap, and generally speaking, you want good stuff.
If you’ve been a mobile DJ for a while you’ve probablly realized that having really good equipment is much better than having junk. Good equipment looks better, sounds better and works better. All are very important when it comes to putting on a top notch, high quality performance. And a high quality performance will insure you future work through referrals and reputation.
The good news is that high quality equipment is being sold for bargain prices right now. Many dealers are offering free shipping as well, even on small item orders. For example, Musicians Friend has done away with all shipping charges. Even the smallest of orders now are shipping for free.
For example, the Denon DN-S5000 Tabletop DJ CD Player is now on sale for only $599.00. It’s a great pro CD player at a really good price. A buddy of mine uses Denon CD players exclusively and swears by them… and he’s working every weekend.
Not only that, but Musicians Friend has a whole bunch of used DJ equipment on sale. I bought a scratch and dent Pioneer Mixer and saved a bunch of money.
Not to be outdone, American Musical Supply has great deals on lights. Make sure you browse their DJ section and live audio section. They have free shipping on most items as well.
Musicians Friend also carries, what I consider to be, the best wireless mic ever made. The Electro-Voice RE27-N. For $500 you get once of the most rugged mics out there… very important when you are handing it over to a wedding party to do drunken toasts. Plus the sound is incredible.
Deals are out there, and it’s a good time to take advantage. Your customers want the best sound and lights out there and you can give it to them!
