Double CD Player for DJs

Alongside speakers, a mixer, and headphones, a device must not be missing in the DJ equipment: the Double CD Player. As with any technical device, it's important to consider before purchase whether the device will be used only for private use or for professional activities. The equipment variants of the players are indeed diverse.

Key Features of the Double CD Player

To avoid boredom during parties with playing individual songs, it's important that the player can prevent interruptions between individual tracks and enable creative mixing through the Loop function. The Loop function allows for smooth transitions between successive tracks, allowing partygoers to dance without annoying interruptions.

An MP3-CD should also be playable alongside the normal audio CD in the player. Many songs can be stored and played on an MP3-CD during performances. Additionally, displaying tag information and folder information through the player facilitates navigation and track search.

The player should also have an anti-shock function. This function is particularly important to prevent music playback jumps due to any kind of vibrations. When the speakers are turned up to the maximum, the resulting sound can cause vibrations and jumps.

For the DJ double CD player, turntable effects and scratching are very useful. These functions are less important for private use. However, if the player is used professionally, scratching and turntable effects are already a must-have. There are different scratching functions, with live scratching being recommended.

In order to connect a USB stick or an external hard drive to the player, it should have a built-in USB port. If songs are missing in the record collection, one can also connect their smartphone via the USB port and play the missing songs. This way, every musical request can be accommodated.

What additional effects and functions are useful for the player ultimately also depends on personal taste. With a well-equipped player, for example, it's possible to incorporate staccato or digital effects during playback. These functions are negligible for private use.

Technological Advancement

The various technical functions of a player have developed tremendously in recent years. Compared to before, the new players haven't become much more expensive. Today, it's possible to purchase well-equipped players at affordable prices. There are certainly price differences between players for private use and those for professional performances. Therefore, it's particularly important to evaluate in advance for which areas the player will be used.

Even for bars or clubs, these devices are a sensible investment. Often, the devices offer an Automix function, so the player can run alone with little supervision.
