So You Want To Be A DJ.
placed properly
before
guests start showing up. This is
why bands always do a sound check, tuning up their
instruments beforehand. The same rules apply to a DJ
to obtain the optimal sound for the particular venue.
Always be sure that there are no “hot spots" or “dead
zones"; in other words, you should be able to hear the
music anywhere within the venue, while having no
spots where it is too loud to hear conversation
between you and the guest next to you.
If you are hosting Karaoke, there are additional
considerations. First, the singer has to be able to hear
his or herself, but the speakers must be far enough
away to avoid feedback. Remember, your singers
likely do not have the microphone handling skills you
do. In the Microphone chapter, we will cover proper
microphone usage, however your customers will
likely not have the same skills, which you will be
tasked to compensate for.
Placing one speaker on the left and one on the right of
the DJ table or booth, as far as your cabling permits, is
ideal. For Karaoke, make sure at least
one
of the
speakers is facing in the direction of the singers' area.
The singer needs to be able to hear his or herself, as
well as the background music.
