Children's DJ Sets

16 products have been found

Many parents have children who want a DJ set. Perhaps they've been to a party where a DJ was performing or they've seen one on TV and thought 'I want to do that too'! Mixing music, creating the perfect party atmosphere and getting everyone to dance is certainly a worthy goal. But which DJ set is suitable for a child? Read on to find out.

The Best Complete DJ Starter Sets for Beginners and Kids

While pros and semi-professional DJs are often seen spinning records using a combination of two or more DJ players or turntables plus a mixer, for beginner DJs, an expensive setup with every bit of DJ gear is probably overkill. If you have a young one between the age of say 5 to 8 years old, then it's recommended to have them start out with just a DJ controller so they can find out whether they were truly born to deejay.

DJ Controllers

A DJ controller is basically a combination of a mixer and player in a compact housing. After connecting the controller to a computer and installing the included software, you're ready to start mixing. Some controllers can even be hooked up to an Android or iOS device like a phone or tablet. If you're going for a DJ controller, make sure to have a good look at the specifications so you know what it can and can't do.

Function or Fun?

For kids that want to make a flying start, we recommend buying a complete controller that features all essential DJ functions. Luckily, even entry-level models will usually do here. If you simply want to treat your child to something that'll entertain them, then any basic-looking model will do.

Are There Cheap Turntables and Mixers Made Specifically for Children?

Since mixers and turntables demand a little more expertise, you'd be hard-pressed to find a model aimed specifically at young beginners. DJ controllers combine the functionality of these standalone devices, making for a cheaper alternative that's also easier to get to grips with.

Tips for Picking the Best DJ Set for Your Child

DJs of all ages need speakers and headphones. Buying a DJ controller with a built-in audio interface (this is shown in the specifications) means you'll be able to plug a set of speakers and headphones directly into the controller. If the controller doesn't have a built-in audio interface, the setup is more difficult because a computer only has one audio output. If the controller doesn't come with software included, free DJ software and apps can be used.
