Wholesale DJ Equipment September 6, 2008
Posted by admin in : Headphone , add a commentDJ equipment is first purchased by wholesalers in bulk quantities from the manufacturers themselves. This equipment includes decks, CD players, VCD players, DVD players, MP3 players, sound mixers, equalizers, speakers, headphones, etc. Wholesalers buy the equipments from the manufacturers at wholesale rates. Wholesale rates are a little above the manufacturing costs; the additional amount paid by the wholesalers constitutes the profit of the manufacturer.
Wholesalers generally sell the equipment to distributors and retailers at higher prices. They in turn sell equipments to the customers. Thus, the wholesalers are an important intermediary link in the entire distribution process. The prices at which wholesalers purchase their equipment are much lower than their MRPs when they are available in the markets. Hence, buying DJ equipment from the wholesaler always brings a tidy reduction to the buyer.
But it is not easy to contact wholesalers. Wholesalers do not advertise themselves as they are bound to sell equipment to the retailers. Even if a buyer approaches a wholesaler, there are chances that they will be refused. However, wholesalers may sell a few pieces of equipment by charging a little more than what the retailer would offer. Yet, that would be less than the MRP. Hence, buyers of DJ equipment still save a tidy sum if they buy from the wholesalers at higher than the retail price.
Wholesalers stock their equipment in storehouses until they are sold. Most of the equipment is not yet in the final packaging; this may be a drawback for people buying DJ equipment. Also wholesale equipment would not have dealer’s stamps on their warranties. Wholesalers would also not handle transportation of the equipment.
Wholesalers shirk selling individual pieces of equipment. The correct way to approach a wholesaler is as a professional rather than an amateur. It pays to ask for the equipment with their correct specifications and brand names. It is also advisable to purchase equipment in bulk rather than singly. Sometimes a few DJs combine and purchase a bulk lot from the wholesalers at lower prices; which proves beneficial to all involved.

Posted by admin in : Headphone , add a commentIt’s not exactly breaking news that our world is becoming
increasingly wireless. Many of our daily activities that
once needed a wired connection can now be done wirelessly!
The cell phone craze was probably the first revolution that
seemingly happened overnight. The convenience of being
constantly connected or plugged in to the your business,
friends, or family was an undeniable need that was quickly
met. For many people it has become a necessary in their
daily lives.
Wireless computers, notebooks or laptops may just be the second
wave in our struggle to becoming a totally wireless world. The
ability to be constantly connected to your business and/or loved
ones is revolutionizing the way we use computers and the Internet.
The ultraportable, versatile little notebook computer, will no doubt
play a major leading role in our wireless struggle to be constantly
connected. It’s the ‘portability’ of the notebook or laptop
computer that holds the most appeal and is its major selling
point. And its popularity is growing.
It is estimated that over 42 million computer notebooks
will be produced this year in 2005. The market for laptop and
notebook computers is growing at a rate of 20% each year
according to Taiwanese notebook makers. And they should
know — they make 70% of these notebooks or their components
for such major players as Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Gateway.
But it’s the portability and wireless communication these devices
offer that’s increasing their popularity among most users.
Just how is this wireless communication accomplished by the
notebook or laptop you ask?
Wireless notebooks uses three major wireless data standards in
order to transfer data. The one that is probably most common is
802.11b, also called Wi-Fi which stands for Wireless Fidelity.
Wi-Fi or 802.11b transfers data wirelessly at a maximum rate of
11Mbps for up to 150 feet. It uses the 2.4GHz radio spectrum and
although it says 11Mbps, you will probably only get around 4-6Mbps
in actual use. But this is enough bandwidth for high speed
Internet, gaming and most file transfers.
The 802.11a is another standard that uses the 5GHz radio spectrum,
so it has 8 channels available instead of only 3 that’s available with
802.11b. The ‘A’ version also permits a larger transfer, at a maximum
of 54Mbps.
The other standard, 802.11g, is a hybrid of ‘A’ and ‘B’ — its also
capable of 54Mbps but it uses the 2.4 GHz spectrum and is compatible
with 802.11b devices. Some notebooks like the Fujitsu LifeBook N6010,
have a tri-mode 802.11a/b/g wireless system that uses all three forms!
The next technology in Wireless Communication is 3G EV-DO! Sounds
like one of those funny robots from Starwars — but it stands for
evolution-data optimized. This new technology will change how we
view and use the world wide web.
Verizon Wireless 3G EV-DO began commercial operations in Oct. of
2003 and is now expanding to over 125 million US consumers by the end
of 2005. With download speeds of 400 to 700 kbps and bursts up to 2 Mbps,
3G has really given us wireless Internet this time. It has or will
turn the Internet into a truly wireless system that’s devoid of any
cables or lines. It will be everywhere — no space within our biosphere
will be without the Internet very soon.
Of course, it should be kept in mind, that any group of computers can be
made wireless by using a wireless router and a wireless network adaptor
for each computer. Also, many notebooks and computers come with a
Bluetooth module, which allows for wireless communication between
any sort of electronic devices — from cell phones to computer to
stereos to headphones.
However, if you’re setting up a wireless network or if you’re using
your wireless notebook or laptop at hotels and airports — security
will be a concern. Anyone within distance, possessing the right equipment
and a little ingenuity may get access to this wireless system. For major
corporations or the lowly homeowner; safeguards need to be taken to
prevent unwanted visitors from interrupting your peaceful wireless
universe.
There are usually two basic methods of securing wireless networks, WEP
and MAC address filtering. The MAC (Media Access Control) is the physical
address or unique hardware identifier given to each device in the network.
Then you manually enter a list of addresses that can use or access your
wireless network.
The other filtering process is more secure, WEP or Wireless Encryption
Protocol requires a shared key between the users and then using this key to
encrypt and de-encrypt data that’s transmitted between your network users.
Many major hotel chains and other businesses are now offering ‘Wi-Fi’
services as an added convenience to their patrons. These ‘hot spots’ are
popping up everywhere, even at some gas stations. You may need to sign in or get
a password or key to access these services.
But like your cell phone conversations, any radio transfer or
transmission will not be as secure as a wired connection. Keep this in
mind if privacy is a major concern for you. But don’t let it stop you
from enjoying the convenience, portability and practicality of your
wireless notebook or laptop.
It’s a wireless world after all.

Posted by admin in : Headphone , add a commentEarlier form of music players required moving parts to read enclosed data on a tape or CD whereas MP3 players use solid state memory. An MP3 player is more of a data storage device with an embedded software application that enables users to transfer MP3 files to that player. MP3 players include some utilities to copy music from CD or websites and then organize them and create custom list of songs in the order you want to hear them. Such list of songs is called a “play list”.
The MP3 player is the combination of various technologies and its components are not only revolutionary but also prove to be a great consumer product. If you wish to store music as well allow the user to hear the songs played and for this the player first pulls the song from its memory, then decompresses the MP3 encoding, runs the decompressed bytes through a digital to analog converter and amplifies the analog signal allowing the song to be heard.
There are different stuffs or components but these could vary as the basic parts of a typical MP3 player. This includes data port, memory, microprocessor, digital signal processor, display, playback controls, audio port, amplifier and power supply.
The player is plugged into the port of your computer or a parallel port to transfer data. Port based players transfer data much faster than those using the parallel port. Memory types include internal flash memory, compact flash cards, smart media cards, memory stick and internal micro drive.
Except the last one, all the above mentioned players are of solid state memory and the advantage of solid state memory is that there are no moving parts that mean better reliability and music without any skips. Mp3 players also contain tiny hard disk drives that could store 10 to 150times more than flash memory devices.
The microprocessor is the brain of any player and monitors user input through the playback controls and displays information about the current song on the LCD panel and then sends directions to the chip that informs exactly how the audio is processed. It pulls the song data from memory and apply any special effects and streams to the amplifier. It runs a decompression algorithm that compresses MP3 files and then turns back the bytes into sound waves.
The amplifier also boosts the strength of the signal and then sends it to the audio port whereby you can attach the pair of headphones. Most of the MP3 players are powered by battery.
