MP3 DJing equipment

    Hi All,

    After building up an impressive collection of MP3s, I'm finally ready to take the plunge into DJing. Now, I have had no experience, but after some research I've settled on the Behringer BCD2000. I'm about to purchase this from www.thomann.de but want to know what else to buy while I'm at it (cables, headphones, mic etc...?)

    In short, I will hook the Behringer BCD2000 up to my brand new Dell laptop.

    1. What cables will I need?
    2. Can anyone recommend a good set of headphones? (to use in pubs etc...)
    3. Also need a good mic so anyone got any opinions on that?

    Many thanks,
    Don Pedro

    1. Depends what you're using to output sound. It's outputs are RCA jacks so I'm guessing Double RCA -> Double RCA if you're planning on using it with a HiFi.
    2. These look quite nice. http://www.thomann.de/ie/numark_phx.htm (Remember that shipping is free if you're over 200 euro, 15 euro if you're not)
    3. Absolute beginner DJ? I'd advise staying away from a mike, chances are you'll just make a tit of yourself (no offence :D )

    I have the BCD2000 and its a great piece of kit. The one thing I would recommend is to get newly updated model - the BCD3000 because it has many big fixes and also comes with Traktor 3 LE which is miles better than B-DJ that comes with the BCD2000.

    Thanks for that. Any ideas where I might get that new model. Checked and the site I was going to buy from doesn't have it.

    Thanks in advance.
