A very important piece of DJ equipment is the DJ mixer. As they are rather expensive, the novice DJ should opt to buy a cheap DJ mixer just to get a hang of the equipment and to be able to mix sounds better. Usually cheap mixers create buzzing noises when played over powerful sound systems. So it is better not to use them when playing over big systems. They are better only for practice, and for playing at parties.

It is always better to buy a cheap DJ mixer that is compact as it makes for easy transportation to take wherever you want to take it. Choose the mixer that has 3-band equalizers. As this is a very important point to remember in DJing. It is by cutting the bass separately in the mixing that you get great sounds when you use a DJ mixer. However sometimes, these mixers have bad cross faders where clicking sounds develop from the cross fader after some months.
