What if I can’t get the music loud enough in the headphones?

  • This usually means that the device playing the music is not turned all the way up.
  • If the music is playing on a phone, laptop or tablet, make sure that the volume is turned all the way up on both the hardware and the software. (turn your headphones down before you do that)
  • If it is a DJ-controller/audio-mixer-board, that doesn’t need to be turned all of the way up, but it still does need to be turned up higher than you have it.
  • Make sure the DJ keeps her Silent Disco headphone volume at no higher than 50%. If she has headphones much higher, then she is going to be setting the controller/mixer/laptop/phone/tablet output volume too soft. As you can imagine, the dancers always want their volume higher than the DJ.  (So if the DJ keeps their headphones at 50% volume, that allows the dancers to turn their own headphones up significantly higher.)
