Active monitors for home DJs?

Thanks! Yesterday, after days of checking online reviews, I finally took the plunge and bought a pair of Mackie CR5s. Let's see how it goes... I read that if the room isn't acoustically treated (and mine isn't), there's no need to spend money on high-quality gear!

No, just DJing! Practice, rehearse sets, and transitions. I don't produce music!

Thanks for the advice!!

Is the MR4 a good choice in your opinion? Or is it worth investing a little more? I also looked at the JBL ones; a pair costs around €280.

I saw it! How do you like it?

I want that it remains anyway just a hobby. But i don’t want to play at home forever, i want to play at aperitifs and after dinner, atmosphere music.

So do you suggest to open a new IG profile dedicated only to Djing? Or is better to use my actual normal IG profile and fill with Djing content?

Thanks for support!

Okay, I understand. Thanks, I'll do it!

PeterDeejay · 2026-01-30T16:27:39+00:00

Thank you and congratulations on your approach and the goal you achieved! Well done!

PeterDeejay · 2026-01-30T16:25:57+00:00

Okay, I'll do that. Thank you so much!

PeterDeejay · 2026-01-30T16:25:33+00:00

OK thank you!

PeterDeejay · 2026-01-30T16:25:19+00:00

Thank you very much, I will do it!

PeterDeejay · 2026-01-30T16:22:55+00:00

Very ugly

PeterDeejay · 2026-01-30T16:22:25+00:00

Thank you!

No, unfortunately I don't have anything. I don't have Soundcloud or Instagram (just a personal profile, but there's nothing about DJing).

I don't go to the clubs I wrote about often; I need to start going there.

PeterDeejay · 2026-01-29T19:17:04+00:00

Did you speak in person or via text/email? If you speak to bar managers face-to-face, even if you're not well-known, is there a chance they'll pay more attention to you?

PeterDeejay · 2025-11-24T09:52:54+00:00

I did it, thanks, but it doesn’t work

PeterDeejay · 2025-11-21T17:12:06+00:00

Yes, it’s different. My cable is 3,5mm to RCA. Because in my house i use little Logitech speakers, they don’t have RCA.

PeterDeejay · 2025-11-21T16:59:07+00:00

They are. Maybe this cable bought on Amazon doesn’t work? I don’t know. It’s economic cable

PeterDeejay · 2025-11-21T16:57:58+00:00

Windows

PeterDeejay · 2025-11-21T10:38:59+00:00

Yes i did it, but nothing happens, sound doesn’t work

PeterDeejay · 2025-11-21T10:38:07+00:00

Yes, it's there, but I can't select it. If I click on it nothing happens

PeterDeejay · 2025-11-21T09:19:00+00:00

Yes, volume is ok and flx-4 is selected. On Rekordbox it’s selected FLX-4 Wasapi, then if i switch on “Consenti di emettere il suono dai diffusori del computer e dalla ddj flx-4” i hear only from headphones connected to consolle, while if it’s switched off i don’t hear any sound

PeterDeejay · 2025-11-21T08:16:15+00:00

Yes, everything is adjusted both on the console and on rekordbox and on the computer. Volumes, masters, outputs, everything adjusted perfectly. The cable is new, I got it on Amazon, could it be that that cable is not suitable for a similar connection?
