8 Best DJ Speakers in 2020

As the name suggests, the Mackie Thump12A Powered Loudspeakers are designed to make you feel that chest-thumping low-end that transposes people right into the music. Each speaker is equipped with a 12″ high-output woofer and one 1.4″ titanium dome compression driver. This results in 1300W of ultra-efficient amplifier design with Dynamic Bass Response technology.

These powered speakers are perfect for a DJ-ing gig due to the built-in Application-Specific Speaker Modes system. This allows the user to select one of the available four-speaker modes and thus speed up setup and get a starting point.

The system has robust and modern protection and thermal limiting, so you don’t have to worry your speakers will get damaged during transport. In addition, the speaker is designed with an internal power supply and Power Factor Correction, which means the sound won’t suffer from variable power. Also, the dual-angle design is perfect for various stage settings.

Lastly, these powered speakers are designed with built-in 2-channel mixers featuring two Vita preamps with Wide-Z technology that handle mic, line and instrument signals. This means you won’t need external mixers when you want to add inputs. You just plug everything in and go on with your gig. In addition, the speakers also support Bluetooth connectivity for streaming.

The EON612 houses a 12” woofer and a 1000W Peak Class D Amplifier in a Bass Reflex cabinet. It also features Proprietary Waveguide Technology which means everyone can enjoy a smooth and transparent sound, regardless of their position in the audience.

In addition, the speaker supports multiple setup configurations, has several built-in modes (Main, Monitor, Sub, Speech), and dual combination XLR – 1/4″ inputs. Also, the 5-way user-definable parametric EQ and the Bluetooth v4.0 interface allow you remote control over how the speaker sounds and behaves.

Lastly, this is a compact and portable speaker that, despite its small footprint can blow away an entire party. The cabinet was designed using modern injection molding techniques and mechanical shaping of the enclosures in order to optimize it for ideal acoustic resonance. It also has four handles that make it portable and indexed feet that allow for secure stacking, storage, and transport.

The QSC K10.2 active 10″ powered 2000 Watt loudspeaker is part of a series of different-sized speakers and it is fantastic for creating powerful sound and entertaining crowds. Its power is due to the 2000-Watt Class-D amplifier module that delivers peak performance at all times. But the speaker also has Factory Presets and advanced DSP that allows access to several stored pre-set contours for most common uses (hand-held mic, stage monitor, and others).

Equipped with 3-channel onboard mixing with individual gain control and DMT, each of these speakers can assure a 90-degree coverage of the scene in front of them. They can also be placed in a variety of settings from stage edges to poles.

The QSC speakers have the necessary power and impact required for a modern DJ mixing it up on electronic and dance music. But they’re not just loud. The fine-tuned controls and various functions and pre-sets are ideal for both beginner and advanced entertainers who want people to have a blast at their parties.

Due to its size, portability, and high-end Bluetooth connection, the ZLX-12BT is a speaker that can be used to throw amazing parties at home or mix it up in a medium-sized club. Unlike other models, the ZLX’s BT connection can be used for streaming so you can use it for a wide range of entertainment activities.

In addition, the 1000 W Class D power amplifier is powerful enough to deliver 126dB at maximum SPL. The speaker uses proprietary Electro-Voice transducers (Signal Synchronized Transducers) specially designed to support this kind of sound power. The transducers also maintain consistent coverage at minimal distortion and maximum acoustical load.

The speakers’ modern design is also solidly built and rugged, which makes it easy to integrate them in any settings. They also support several wired connections: 2 x XLR/TRS combo jack, 1 x 3.5mm input, and 1 x XLR link output. Lastly, their portability is enhanced by three handles optimally placed for transportation.

Equipped with a front-loaded 2-way bass reflex system and convex diffusers for a wider reach and sweet spot, the DM40 from Pioneer are great as studio monitors and DJ speakers. They are compact and lightweight and feature a modern design created to support optimum audio quality.

For instance, the grooves on the ducts are there to reduce air friction and allow the bass system to be as punchy and strong as possible. This way, the monitors deliver the same audio quality even when they’re against a wall. In addition, the ¾-inch soft dome tweeters are designed to cover all directions, thus creating a wide sweet spot and 3D stereo sound.

Lastly, the tweeter and woofer are placed to avoid crossover and provide a balanced response across frequencies. Also, the sound has low-distortion due to the built-in amplifiers. Overall, the DM40 speakers are a nice acquisition if you want audiophile sound quality or if you’re just starting your career as a DJ.

When you’re always on the road, you need gear that’s durable and portable. This is why many professional DJs and musicians love to ride with speakers from the Yamaha DBR series!

The DBR10 is a bi-amped 10” powered speaker with a lightweight and compact ABS cabinet that can be easily moved around or mounted in a wide array of positions for various applications. Also, the front steel grille is ideal for protecting the sensitive mechanisms inside while it also allows the sound to escape unhindered.

Capable of reaching 129db at peak SPL, the DBR10 speaker features FIR-X tuning and supports a frequency range between 55Hz and 20kHz. These are powerful speakers that manage to deliver amazing sound clarity with all its characteristics. This is possible due to the high-performance Class-D amplifier, high power output woofers, and the 1″ precision compression driver.

All the DBR Series speakers have two input channels; one channel accepts a Combo XLR and TRS connection, while the second one has two input options (XLR/TRS and RCA). This means you can use them with CD players or other stereo line-level sources. Lastly, the speakers have an onboard mixer that allows the DJ to mix the signals from the two channels.

This is an entire audio system for entry-level DJs and home entertainment systems. These high-powered loudspeakers have an output of 700 watts (350 watts RMS), 8-inch subwoofers, 1” tweeters and high-performance compression drivers with titanium diaphragms. As a result, the bass response is quite impressive while the sound quality is rich and consistent.

On the back, you’ll find the controls to fine-tune the experience (the EQ configuration panel), an LCD screen, slots for a USB flash drive, and an SD card reader that supports MP3 audio files. There’s also a 3.5mm AUX input for external sources or a pair of high-quality headphones, a 1/4″ SpeakOn Input, and an XLR microphone input (in case you want to do some karaoke).

Lastly, these speakers support Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming from smartphones and other BT-enabled devices. They are also delivered with two stands and remote control.

If you’re looking for a PA speaker system for live and playback applications, the B210D from Behringer may be the perfect choice. As a high-power (200-Watt) 2-way sound system, the delivered sound is punchy and clear even at extreme SPL.

Fitted with class-D amplifier technology, the sonic performance outmatches the size and weight of the speakers (which are lightweight and compact). They’re also fitted with a 10” long-excursion driver, one 1.35” aluminum-diaphragm compression driver, a conical horn, and a built-in sound processor. As a result, you get exceptional high-frequency reproduction, deep bass, and impressive system control.

Lastly, due to its trapezoidal shape, this speaker has a wide range of applications. It’s also easy to set up (all you need is a single XLR or ¼” cable from the mixing console and power) and can be chained with other active monitors via the XLR Link Output jack.
