At
Sound Investment, we learned long ago that when purchasing Sound
Systems and DJ Components - You get what you pay for. All of our
Sound Systems are composed of Professional Broadcast-Grade equipment,
costing thousands of dollars, enclosed in Carpeted Professional
Road Cases. In an age when some DJ Companies may choose to purchase
less expensive components, we at Sound Investment continue to fill
our Equipment Inventory with the latest in high-tech Sound Systems.
Benefits of "Pro-Grade" Equipment are:
Reputable Name Brand Manufacturers
Better, Longer Warranties
More Road-worthy and Durable, Built to Last
More features, Options and Configurations
Higher standards in the Design Process |

Mini-Disc and MP3's vs. Compact Disc Format...
A Great-Sounding Sound System begins by using the best
possible music SOURCE - at this point in time - NOT Laptop Computers
playing MP3's or Mini-Discs, but Compact Discs or "CDs".
At Sound Investment, we only use Denon Dual Deck CD Players. Denon
is a GREAT Company and their products are simply the Best. We
are currently testing their DN-D4000 Dual Deck Player. This player
can not only play CDs, but can play MP3 CDs as well. It even tells
you what song you're playing on it's display. When playing MP3's
from a laptop there's always the risk of hearing those annoying
"glitches", "hiccups" and "hiss"
of the MP3 format.
48K - DVD Audio, DAT Tapes
44.1K - CD Audio Format
43K - MP3 (at 160kbs) played from Laptop - missing most
of the Mid-range and some of the Low-End Frequencies!
41K - Mini-Disc, Stereo Format
32K - Mini-Disc, Mono Format

numbers are better

In's
and Out's...
The
Mixer is what essentially makes the music louder or softer over
the system, the Volume. We have found throughout the years that
the more Inputs and Outputs a DJ Mixer has the more options become
available when working an event. Currently, on most of our mixers
we can:
Have 8 inputs (CD Players, VCR's, DVD Players, Tape Deck,
even played the audio from a portable hand-held TV to hundreds
of people on New Years Eve)
Have 2 Microphones - wired, wireless or both
Output in Stereo or Mono
Output in Zone, Master, Record or Balanced Output
EQ either Right or Left Channel
Wirelessly "send" the audio to another room if
Needed

Amplifiers...
The
Amplifier takes the audio signal from the Mixer and sends it to
the Speakers. The more-powerful the amplifier the louder (potentially)
the music can be played. At Sound Investment we have had really
great experiences with Crown Amplifiers. They are built to withstand
the demanding pressures of high temperatures and travel.

Wired
and Wireless Microphones...
In addition to a regular corded Shure SM58 Microphone your DJ's
Sound System also comes with a Shure Wireless SM58 UHF Microphone
with Dual Diversity Receiver. It's a Great-Sounding mic for the
Best Man's Toast or the CEO's Speech at the Company's Holiday Party.
Benefits are:
Range is about 300 feet
Uses the Higher, Less Cluttered Radio Band
2 separate receiver channels - Locks in on Stronger Signal
No "pops" or "drop-outs"
No interference from cell phones
Can manually change the frequency to a different one if another
DJ in the Party next door has a wireless mic on.

Speakers...
At Sound Investment we currently have 9 different
pairs of speakers for different events and at different venues.
The sizes range from 10" Bass to 18" Subwoofers. Bigger
Venues tend to get bigger Speakers to "fill" the room
while events in smaller rooms get the smaller speakers. For Proms
and School Dances we always bring 4 of our Bigger Speakers automatically.
Speaker Inventory:
2 Pairs JBL 15", 2 ways
1 Pair Yamaha 10", 2 ways
1 Pair Carvin Compression Horns
1 Pair SoundTech Powered 15", 2 ways

1 Pair JBL 18", 3 ways
1 Pair JBL 15", 3 ways
1 Pair JBL 12", 2 ways |

Lighting...
We
are one of the Few DJ Companies to offer lighting Packages. "Night-Club-Style"
lighting can add another dimension to your Catering Facility's
dance floor by making it seem more "exciting". For School
Dances and Proms, we always bring something along. For Wedding
Receptions, Your Light Show is included in the Price, BUT you
need to specify it separately on your Contract. By default, we
do not automatically bring Lights to Weddings unless you ask for
it.
We have three types of fixtures available:
Par Lighting Fixtures - What
you would see hanging from the ceiling at a Broadway Show. Different
Colors, Dimmable.
Plug-n-Play Analogue Club
Lights - Stationary fixtures, light beams move to a Patern. Good
for the Dancefloor.
"Intelligent" Lights
- Programmable to change colors, shapes, strobe-effect. Those
Blue lights on "Who Want To Be A Millionaire - that's them.
Other lights include Black Lights and Mirrored Balls
*Please Note: Lights work GREAT if your Event takes place at
night OR if ambient lighting (windows, etc.) can be controlled
during the day.
