DJ CD players have been available in the market for quite some time now and, gradually down the line as the years passed by, they have become quite DJ friendly. A good DJ CD player would be one which can not only emulate all the features that can be achieved using a vinyl turntable, but also has some additional benefits and features. DJs can choose from the two types of CD players available in the market, rock mount and table top.

A table top CD player is quite similar in function, as well as design, to normal vinyl DJ turntables. As the name table top indicates, they can be placed flat on the table. Pioneer is the leader in the production of these types of DJ CD players, and the Pioneer CDJ 1000 MK3 is at the top of the entire available range. There are also a wide range of quality Denon table top CD players available in the market, such as the Denon DN-S1000 compact CD/MP3 player, Denon DN-S3500 and Denon DN-S5000. The second type of DJ CD players are rack mount. As is clear from the name, they are built to fit into a rack. These CD players are most popular among mobile DJs.

Any good DJ CD player should include all the important features like pitch control, sampler and effects, cue points, support both CD and MP3 music files and should allow scratching if required. This can be accomplished by providing both the platter and jog dial option, and, lastly, it should have a digital output.
