Minimal setup - Bluetooth Speakers and Mic only

Hello newbie here. I wanted to know if it would be possible to use DJay Pro Ai with an IPad or Macbook, Bluetooth speaker, and Bluetooth microphone only or I would a DJ controller?

Thanks

Hi @apvega, welcome to the Community! This setup is possible on macOS, but not on iOS. Currently djay on iOS only allows you to use a single Bluetooth device at a time. Please see the example below from macOS with a Bluetooth Speaker and Bluetooth Mic:

There are a couple of things to note, however, about DJing with this setup.

  1. You will have no method of pre-cueing in your headphones for manual beat-matching, next song selection and preparation for mixing.
  2. There will be some latency between what you see onscreen in djay and the audio signal coming from your Bluetooth speakers. There will also be some latency between when you speak into the Mic and when it’s heard through the speakers. This is a limitation of the Bluetooth technology. For DJing where you are manually beat-matching, you should use wired connections to avoid this latency.
  3. If you want to learn how to properly DJ, I highly recommend that you consider investing in at least a basic DJ controller with built-in audio interface. This will give you tactile control over many of djay’s functions while allowing you to output to wired speakers and pre-cue in your headphones. This will also eliminate the Bluetooth latency. I hope that helps!

This helps. Thanks Slak_Jaw.
