Cheap and basic DJ equipment is available via all online retailers

DJ turntables, digital mixers, CD mixers and DJ packages
Finding DJing equipment online is the easiest and best way to guarantee cheap prices. This is because online retailers either specify in DJ equipment or may be able to provide information on where the equipment can be found. Most online sites will offer the bare minimum basics such as light equipment, DJ amps and complete DJ systems at prices that are reasonably cheaper because, the equipment is either second hand or is not being sold directly from a manufacturer. Online stores are more likely to sell DJ equipment in bulk and offer half price deals for multiple purchases. DJ turntables and mixers are the most expensive. Home mixers have also inflated price-wise as more and more people are actually taking either a personal or professional interest in DJ'ing. Even second-hand name brand equipment can be found and brought for a cheaper price online. The best online sites that will provide cheap DJ equipment are sites that specialise in music and music equipment.

Retailers

Limitations of retailers Finding cheap DJ equipment in a store can be more complicated because these retailers are more likely to only stock high end and high-priced equipment directly from a manufacture. Knowledge of particular brands would be needed to ensure that equipment can be brought at the lowest possible price. For example, to buy a mixer or digital equipment from a equipment shop, prior knowledge of specific brands would be useful in order to eliminate a majority of the other branded DJ accessories that are on vast offer at a retailer. By no means does the most popular branded product guarantee the best DJ'ing experience. There is no difference between a expensive name brand mixer and a non-brand cheap mixer capable of the same performance.

Other options to obtain cheap DJ gear

Recording studios are always updating recording equipment in order to optimise pristine recordings. Older equipment is either thrown away or sold on. Basic DJ gear like microphones and headphones can be brought at a cheaper price from recording studios if the studio no longer requires it. Second-hand retailers will also guarantee cheap DJ gear. The products on offer might not be in abundance but a bargain or two can definitely be found.
