If you’re looking for a new DJ mixer to take your next show at, for example, a disco or nightclub to entirely new heights with a new DJ mixer, you’ve come to exactly the right place.

Below, we’ve compiled our answers to a number of questions about DJ Mixers, starting with a closer look at what a DJ mixer is.

What is a DJ mixer?

The purpose of a DJ mixer, as the name suggests, is to mix different audio signals. With the DJ mixer, you can process several different types of signals from, for example, players and microphones, adjust their volume, and combine them into a single mixed output. A DJ mixer is therefore the unit that creates transitions between signals from, for example, microphones and recorded audio from the player, and mixes them into one overall output.

The DJ mixer is one of the most important elements in how your DJ set and your DJ productions will sound, and it’s important that you find a good mixer that suits your level and your style.

Overall, there are three types of mixers:

• Scratch DJ mixer
• Club DJ mixer
• All-round DJ mixer

A scratch DJ mixer mixes audio from vinyl records that are manipulated by moving them back and forth, creating a characteristic scratching sound. The scratch mixer is known from the hip hop scene, where scratching vinyl became particularly popular throughout the ’80s.

The Club DJ mixer, unlike the scratch mixer, cannot mix vinyl. The Club DJ mixer is suitable for DJing at a disco, where the energy needs to be kept up with a steady stream of beats and effects on the sound.

The all-round mixer can do both. It can mix both scratching and beats. It’s typically professionals who choose an all-round mixer, as these have more channels and many more effects than the Club DJ mixer.

Which DJ mixer should I choose?

Your choice of DJ mixer depends on your needs as a DJ. For example, if you need to record different sounds, it’s a good idea to choose a DJ mixer with a microphone input. Or if you like mixing many songs with different loops at the same time, you’ll need a mixer with more channels.

How many channels should my DJ mixer have?

DJ Mixers have different numbers of channels, and the choice depends on how many audio sources (analog and digital) you want connected at the same time. Typically, a DJ mixer has between 2 and 6 channels to connect and mix audio sources such as USB turntables and DJ players. For example, it’s popular to combine a mixer with two DJ decks, so you can combine and crossfade tracks.

For most DJ Booth beginners, a mixer with two channels is enough. Experienced and professional DJs may prefer a mixer with more channels and effects, but when you’re learning to mix, it’s an advantage to have as few channels—and therefore options—as possible. That way, you can stay focused on the basics of mixing and become a skilled DJ.

A DJ mixer console has separate controls to manage low, mid and high audio frequencies, and they allow the DJ to send one track out through the PA speakers and another through the headphones. This allows the DJ to preview the next track in advance and create an appropriate mix.

I only play tracks from my computer—do I need a DJ mixer?

If you play from a computer, in principle you can make do with the more compact DJ controller. However, if you prefer physical controls, you can also mix on a DJ mixer even if you’re playing digitally from your computer. It’s a matter of preference whether you choose one or the other, but players such as iPads, iPhones, etc. are definitely something you see more and more.

What’s the difference between a DJ mixer and a regular music mixer?

What distinguishes the DJ mixer from a music mixer includes the crossfader and cue control.

The crossfader is used to smooth the transition from one track to another, so the audience doesn’t experience a pause between songs but gets a continuous sound from start to finish of the set. With a DJ mixer with a built-in crossfader, you can create an almost imperceptible transition between songs by fading between tracks. Guests will hardly notice that the song changes, and in this way you can keep the dancefloor going.

Many DJ Mixers also have cue control, which is used to listen through a track in the headphones while another is playing. This way, as a DJ, you can always stay one step ahead with the next track on the set list before the previous song ends. In addition, the mixer is used to combine songs and effects so that it becomes a cohesive track.

A DJ mixer can therefore, to a large extent, create smooth transitions between the tracks on your set list. If instead you’re looking for a sound mixer for your band in the home studio, you can also find it here with us.

Buying guide for DJ Mixers

Before you buy a DJ mixer, it’s important to think about which mixer best suits your needs. We’ve made a checklist of various aspects worth considering before you invest in a DJ mixer console:

• What level will you be playing at – casual, mobile disco, nightclubs, larger stages?
• What type of DJ do you want to be – scratch, lounge, dance etc.?
• Crossfader – it should be durable and preferably replaceable, as it’s used a lot!
• Cue control – make sure you can hear the track before it reaches the master output to avoid delay.
