The Right Equipment Makes All The Difference

WHY…Powered speakers?

Powered speakers are precisely engineered for amplifier/speaker compatibility to produce the same exceptional sound quality found in studio monitors. Billy uses top-of-the-line Mackie speakers, considered the best on the market.

WHY…Multiple CD/Mp3 players and a computer hard drive?

At your event, Billy James' music library is accessible in both CD/mp3 format and on two computer hard drives. As many as four songs can be cued simultaneously to insure that the perfect song is ready at just the right time to keep the party going. Also, multiple backups eliminate the possibility of technical problems.

WHY…Speaker stands?

Speaker placement is a critical factor in creating quality sound. Placing speakers on the floor below ear level produces a muffled and distorted sound. With elevated speakers, both music and speech are crystal clear without excessive volume. The latest technology allows speakers to be elevated safely and securely.

WHY…Dance floor lighting?

Tasteful yet dynamic LED dance floor lighting in sync with the music creates a festive atmosphere and motivates your guests to dance. The lights that DJ Billy James uses create the lighting effects seen at trendy clubs. This versatile multi-effect light show is matched to the style of music being played and the size of the facility. It is guaranteed to energize your reception or party. There are separate lighting effects for fast and slow dances.

WHY…UHF microphones?

Wireless microphones using Ultra High Frequencies (UHF) minimize distortion and signal dropout, insuring excellent performance for your ceremony and reception. UHF wireless mics cost three times more than VHF, but virtually insure flawless operation.

WHY…A separate ceremony sound system?

A separate ceremony system insures a smooth transition to reception music. The Fender Passport, an excellent multi-speaker, self-contained music and voice sound system, is the perfect choice for your ceremony. Multiple speakers are compact and unobtrusive, yet have outstanding clarity and the ability to enhance your vocalist's and presenter's performance with studio quality effects.
