DJ Speaker : What is it?
| DJ speakers play music and other sounds from DJ mixers and consoles. They pick up audio signals from these sources and convert them into audible sounds. They are distinguished from other speakers by their higher power ratings, which give them a consistent high volume. Most DJ systems use two or more speakers to evenly distribute sounds in large venues. |

Kinds of DJ Speakers include the following: |
Bass reflex speakers
Bass reflex speakers use internal acoustics to enhance and amplify sounds. They are very power-efficient, because they produce louder sounds with less energy. They usually work best at frequencies below 150 Hz and require more tuning and tweaking to stay efficient. They do not sustain low-frequency bass as well as sealed box systems
Horn speakers
Horn speakers have cup-shaped chambers that allow sound to resonate within the box. They are commonly used in high-frequency systems.
Folded horn speakers
Folded horn speakers have large, low-frequency horns folded together for a more compact design. They have limited bass response, but create a distinct punch ideal for setting rhythms. They are used as woofers and bass outputs in most speaker systems. |

Sensitivity: Choose a DJ speaker with a high sensitivity rating. This will allow you to play high-volume sounds without drawing extra power from the source or amplifier. Look for one with a 90 dB rating or higher for a clearer pickup and less data loss.
Impedance: Choose a DJ speaker with an impedance rating of about eight ohms. This is especially useful if you use a powerful amplifier. Insufficient impedance can damage amplifiers because they do not handle strong signals well. |
