Check Your Surge Protector
One piece of equipment that takes up a whole lot of space in your set up is something that you don’t even use directly. It’s not your DJ controller. It’s not your laptop. It’s actually not even one piece.
It’s all those power cables, power strips, and surge protectors that you need to make sure that your equipment powers on and your laptop stays powered up.
You might not believe it, but these pieces of equipment that you probably don’t give much thought to (until a cable stops working, of course), can affect sound quality. So, in response, Numark and American DJ have come out with their own power strips specifically designed for DJs.
Here’s what they offer:
Numark Production Hub
- Retails for about $79
- 6 100 volt AC power plugs
- 4 USB 3.0 ports for DJ controllers
- 1 USB port for smartphone
- RFI and EMI protected Hub
- Surge protected
- 6 foot cord
ADJ POW-R Bar 65
- Retails for about $79
- 6 110 volt AC power plugs
- USB-B port for connecting the USB Hub
- 2.1A charging USB port for smartphones
- 6 foot power cord
- Lockable and removable power cable
What’s your favorite type of power strip?
