A guide to looking after DJ Equipment



A Brighton DJ can organise events of any size from a birthday party to a wedding reception. If links such as www.djsbrighton.co.uk are clicked additional pertinent information is available on various DJ services. The most necessary thing to keep in mind is that DJ equipment is expensive and a lot of computer parts and mechanical chips are involved. These by the very nature of the profession are used for long periods of time and hence particularly susceptible to wear and tear. On the other hand taking some precautionary measures for the good working and long life of the instruments is required. The most necessary thing is the maintained wiring. They have even been described as the veins of any DJ equipment.

The wires should be rolled in neatly and not tightly. The necessity of all time is some slack and no wire should ever bear the brunt of any equipment. The fall out would be a burst of static and muffled sound despite powerful speakers or a sound system. It is must to spend some extra on good hard shell carrying cases. This offers some measure of protection when being carried along bumpy roads. The jolting is cushioned to some extent. Even they are protected from dust, moisture and extremely temperature. Regular cleaning of slip mats is a must.

It is a delicate process and should be carried out at least once a month. One can take a non abrasive cloth with a mixture of water and isopropyl to get the needle clean. The CD decks and turntables also have to be checked and cleaned. During the show run, for sure there will be a certain amount of cigarette smoke and other air borne contamination. After the show is over, the equipment must be wiped down as soon as possible before the dust has had a chance to settle down. To get the equipment road hardened is the best thing to do for the one who wants to be a professional DJ and regularly drive on roads. This includes removing any computer chip from its socks and soldering it directly onto the circuit boards. Therefore, they will be not become loose and will cope up with any impact in a better manner.
