The DJ's sound equipment is his tools of the trade.  And, yes, it make make or break a party too.  Almost everyone has been to a wedding where the music is either too loud, distorted, or just didn't sound quite right.  Often times this is because the DJ has invested in inferior sound equipment to produce a clean crisp quality sound.  Think about it this way... imagine yourself at a party in a large room where the host has a boom box set up in the corner of the room.  In order for it to be heard in the back of the room, they have it turned up too loud.  The people closest to it are listening to obnoxious music, and the people farthest away can't hear it.  That's the difference between good and bad DJ equipment.

You don't have to be a technician to know what the equipment is all about, but it does help to do a little research.  The workhorse top of the line live sound speakers of the mobile DJ are JBL,Turbosound, and Yamaha.  Those are brand names that you would hear at live concerts that sound fantastic.  Lesser quality speakers are Mackie, Behringer, Peavy, Sansom, and other off-brand names.  For moderate sized rooms holding 25-75 people, 2 15" speakers may be sufficient.  For larger rooms, its advisable to add additional speakers and 18" sub-woofers.  This type of setup provides a clean volume that fills the room, and grandma can also chat in the back without having to yell.

The DJ might also suggest a laser light show, digital projection or other added effects. 

Talk to your prospective DJ about the equipment that they plan to bring to your party.  It makes a difference.
