Whichever route you choose to go, make sure you check it out before making your final purchase decision, to ensure that the total cost of the venture doesn’t exceed your budget. Many companies offer custom coffin cases for their gear, and other options are also often available from third-party sellers. So, unless you never have any intention of playing out, or even at a friend’s house, you’ll likely want to invest in a case for your new equipment. Transportation: It’s worth noting that – perhaps with the exception of the Numark DJ2GO2 Touch – none of the options included in our list are small enough to conveniently tuck into a backpack or messenger bag.

Some of our other new additions this time around are the Behringer CMD Studio 4a - a budget-friendly model suitable for those just trying to get a feel for the hobby, the Numark NS7III - a powerful option with three high-resolution screens plus highly sensitive platters that are ready for scratching, and the Roland DJ-808 - which sets itself apart with a built-in drum machine and sequencer.Ī few things to think about for this category:

We also removed the Gemini MDJ-1000 Professional due to availability issues, and replaced it with the company’s flagship Gemini SDJ-4000.

We decided on eliminating the Denon SC5000 Prime, Numark NDX500, Pioneer Pro XDJ-700 and Pioneer XDJ1000MK2, not because of any quality issues – they’re all excellent pieces of equipment – but because as standalone decks, that can’t do much to rock the party without the assistance of a DJ mixer, so we felt they’d be a better fit for our list of DJ Turntables, which has started to incorporate digital models.

By our next round of updates, these categories will likely be ready for consolidation, but for today, we aimed at using this set of rankings to represent the market’s top-end offerings, while our list of DJ controllers focuses more on entry-level options - although there is some crossover in both cases. However, with the vinyl-era fizzling into the past, controllers have been steadily increasing in quality, to the point that they could easily qualify as bona fide DJ digital media players, and therefore this category. As the industry began making the slow transition to digital music, DJ controllers began turning up, but they were mostly considered to be Mickey-Mouse imitations of the real thing - cheap rubbish and a poor substitute.

Traditionally, DJ turntables were always the gold standard for disc jocks because, during the days of Technics SL-1200MK2’s and crates of vinyl, they were really the only option. The way technology has been developing over the last few years made this round of updates was a bit tricky.
