My DJ Setup After 1 Year: What Actually Made a Difference

EXPERIENCED DJs: What’s one piece of gear you wish you bought in your first year? 👇BEGINNER DJs: What’s one upgrade you’re planning next? 👇Drop your answers below! I want to hear what’s helping you level up your setup! 👇

After one full year of DJing weddings, parties, and events, I finally feel like my setup is reliable, simple, and dialed in. It might not be the flashiest rig out there, but it consistently gives me great sound and helps me deliver a smooth experience for every client.

In this video, I break down my current DJ setup, why I upgraded certain pieces, and what actually made the biggest difference for sound quality, reliability, and setup time. This build is what I’d consider an intermediate setup—not my first, and definitely not my last. (An “advanced setup” breakdown will come later!)

If you’re brand new to DJing, check out my video here on my first beginner setup:   • My First Mobile DJ Setup: What You Actuall...  

If you’ve already seen that and you’re ready to upgrade, here’s everything I’m using now:

My Current Gear:• RCF Evox J8• Electro-Voice Everse 8• Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 controller• Yamaha MG10XU mixer• Shure BLX wireless mics• Rockville 6RF par lights• Glotubes• Odyssey folding table• ProX flight case• (And a few future upgrades I’m planning 👀)

Whether you’re building a wedding DJ setup, looking for beginner-to-intermediate upgrades, or just curious what other DJs are running after their first year, this video should give you a clear picture of what works in real gig environments.
