Experienced professionals understand that better coverage using numerous smaller speakers works better for most events. Lots of little speakers provides greater control of volume and allows zones of sound.
And bi-amplification – using separate loudspeakers for low frequencies and mid-to-high frequencies – lets the pounding bass notes stay where you want them, (like on a dance floor), without excess volume in conversation areas.
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) can eliminate echos and harsh acoustics in difficult spaces.
There is an art and a science to sound! It’s much more than having the biggest speakers – and much less.
Call Party Machine Celebrations for all your events that could benefit from great sound!
Everybody Thinks He Can Be A DJ!

Many have seen the now-viral photo of my chimpanzee DJ.
Just when you think you have seen it all, the trend becomes a royal mess – yes, HRH the Prince of Wales had to try it out:
Perhaps I should take up polo.
Karaoke and the Dumb Blonde
Posted in DJ Stuff, Weird Things at Parties with tags award-winning Dallas DJ, award-winning Fort Worth DJ, Best Fort Worth DJ, DJ Experience, DJ professionalism, DJ Scott Shirley, North Texas Best DJ on February 22, 2011 by djscottshirleyI’m not one to cast aspersions on any group, nor to perpetuate any stereotypes.
But stereotypes generally arise based on some real-life experience, so with apologies to my blonde friends who are reasonably intelligent, I share this recent experience.
Party Machine Celebrations was providing Karaoke entertainment for a High School dance troupe that was in town for a contest. This group had plenty of talent, and several had obvious choral and stage singing experience.
One girl sang a solo of a current hit song, and was midway through and doing quite well, when the song went into an instrumental break. The on-screen instruction stated “Instrumental,” and then changed to say, “Spoken word.”
The singer panicked, threw her arms up, and shouted “I don’t know the words!”
Imagine her surprise when the words she didn’t know, magically appeared on the screen in front of her!
Yes, she was blonde.
