Ben McCarthy - Wedding DJ in Leicester, Loughborough, Oakham, Rutland, Market Harborough, Hinckley, Melton Mowbray, Nottingham, Derby & The Midlands

Equipment...

Let's face it- anybody can go out and buy or hire DJ equipment and call themselves a DJ.  Unfortunately, not many people have the experience, talent and skills to use those tools effectively in a wedding reception setting.  Although top quality equipment is critical for reliability and effect, it is the operator who makes the difference.  You wouldn't hire a Builder to build your house based on which brand of hammer he used!!!

You can be rest assured that we only use top of the range equipment this is for 3 reasons:

  1. Reliability: As we use our equipment week in week out we need to have confidence that when we arrive at a venue and plug it in that it will work. During the summer months it is not uncommon for us to perform at 3 weddings each week!
  2. Presentation: As a bride and groom you will have spend a lot of time ensuring that the room for the evening reception looks just how you want it, what you don’t want is for the DJ to turn up with ‘tacky’ speakers and rusty lights which would spoil all of your hard work!
  3. Performance: By purchasing quality equipment each DJ know's that their sound system will have great clarity, yet offer plenty of punch when required. The lightshow will also both fill the room with vibrant colors and can be controlled by the DJ for optimum effect.

All of the equipment is under 3 years old and is PAT (Portable Appliance Tested) on a yearly basis. Certain venues may wish to see a copy of our PAT certificate; this can be arranged free of charge.

For your peace of mind each DJ carry's a back up of all of the essential items that we use such as CD players and thus if for any reason an item wasn’t working we would have a backup unit on-site. Due to the quality of the equipment that we use however we have never had a piece of equipment fail on us yet!

For those of you who are interested in disco equipment we use a Mackie sound system and all of the lighting is produced by EVL, Martin and ACME. We also use Pioneer CD unit's and Denon HD player's.

Projector & Video Screen...

The projector and screen we use for our video disco and presentation packages was carefully chosen to provide the best possible picture clarity and convenience for your event.

The projector we use is an, "NEC WT615", and has a rated brightness of 3500 output lumens (that's bright!). It is also unique because it can be placed only half a metre in front of the screen to make an 80 inch picture. This means we can keep our setup compact and your guests won't be tripping over a projector in the middle of the dance floor! It also means that you avoid the shadow created when somebody walks in between the projector and the screen.
