6W RMS?

Unless your gig is taking place in a closet, I don’t think this will do the trick.

That new Mackie Freeplay looks like it might fit the bill.

Do you have somewhere else you can rent from? None of the gear on that page will give you a “club” sound. Especially, for a few hundred people.

I’ll let Terry and Vintage get into the specifics, but you’re at the very least going to want 15-inch active speakers and a couple of 18-inch active subs.

That’s so Stanton…

Because there used to be many artificial barriers to entering pro DJing (cost, learning curve, etc) that don’t exist anymore. Now everyone with an iPad app considers themselves a DJ.

Good DJs adapt; bad Djs gripe.

But as King of Snake said it’s no different than any other profession. My other job is that of pro photographer and many of the same sentiments have been echoed at every step along the way (autofocus, auto exposure, digital).

There is a mapping available from Hercules for the 4Set, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

Specifically buying that stuff for DJing would be waste of money. Best to buy the 201s and save up for some decent speakers. I personally use the AV-40s that Terry mentions and they work great for me.

If you want some other options, there are great reviews on this site and I also found the following article to be very insightful:
