Introduction to DJ function
What is the DJ function?

How to add DJ function to Bluetooth speakers?
To add DJ function to Bluetooth speakers, you need to prepare the following things:
A Bluetooth speaker that supports DJ function, preferably with built-in mixer, sampler and other hardware.
Corresponding software for music editing, mixing, etc. Here we recommend mainstream DJ software such as Ableton Live and FL Studio.
Necessary hardware equipment, such as microphones, turntables (vinyl record players), CD players, etc.
Step 1: Choose a suitable Bluetooth speaker
When buying a Bluetooth speaker that supports DJ function, you can pay attention to the following aspects:
Built-in mixer: A Bluetooth speaker with a built-in mixer can easily mix music, adjust the volume, etc.
Sampler: The sampler allows you to add various sound effects, rhythms and other elements during music playback to increase the fun of music.

Connect hardware devices such as microphones, turntables (vinyl record players), CD players, etc. to the computer.
Use audio cables to connect the audio output of the device to the built-in mixer of the Bluetooth speaker.
Make sure the volume of all devices is adjusted to the appropriate position to avoid excessive volume causing damage to the sound quality.
