What digital DJ equipment do I need?

Koska asked:


I make various kinds of electronic music on my computer and I want to start playing it live as a DJ. I have my computer with Traktor 3 installed as my DJ software, what hardware should I get? A mixer, turntables, or what? I need some cheap basic equipment.

    Koska – If there is a sound system at the place you are DJ’ing, then all you need is a cable to connect the headphone output of your laptop to the sound system. A standard 3.5mm to RCA cable will work fine:

    If there is no sound system where you plan to DJ, then you need to bring one.

    A DJ sound system consists of a mixer, amplifier and speakers.

    Connect the laptop to the mixer – the mixer output connects to amp input – amp output connects to speakers. Pretty simple but it can be expensive.

    Great place to check out equipment and get an idea of how much it costs:
