What speakers (and microphone) are best to use with a laptop to dj?

speaker system for gymnasium image

deaf terp

I will be dj'ing my friend's wedding with my laptop and mp3 songs. I have done some church dances before, but after spending $200 on speakers that I was told would cover the area (small gymnasium), we ended up having to place the p.a. system microphone near one of the speakers to hear the music over the crowd.

I can't invest a thousand bucks into speakers, but I would like to get some decent ones that will work with a computer. Help!

Answer
There's not much choice for you. To do it right, you'll need a PA system to cover sound in a hall. You'll need PA speakers, amplifier and mixer or even a combo unit if your on a very tight budget.. You can find packages available at a discount at most major music shops.

Here's some examples....

The bare minimum.. for small rooms...

Much better, will fill a medium sized room & is expandable and not too expensive...

What all do I need to project a movie in a rented gymnasium for my daughter's birthday party?

I would love info on how to set this up. I am not advanced in the Audio/Visual realm.

Answer
You need a projector, a projector screen and then something to play the movie - a dvd player or a laptop. Then you will also need some kind of speaker system.
