Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: August 12, 2026

At DJ Controller Reviews, our goal is simple: help DJs, producers, and music enthusiasts make smarter purchasing decisions without making the process feel like reading a product manual written by a robot.

To keep this website running, we may use affiliate links. This page explains what that means for you.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on DJ Controller Reviews are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and subsequently purchase a product or service, we may receive a small commission from the retailer or affiliate partner.

You do not pay anything extra because of an affiliate link. The price you pay remains the same unless the retailer is offering its own discount or promotion.

Affiliate commissions help us pay for things such as website hosting, research, content creation, photography, software, and the general costs of keeping DJ Controller Reviews online.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

DJ Controller Reviews participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide websites with a way to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

This disclosure is required by Amazon’s Associates Program Operating Agreement.

When you see a link or button directing you to Amazon, that link may contain our Amazon Associates tracking information. If you purchase an eligible product after clicking the link, we may receive a commission.

You can learn more about Amazon’s affiliate program through its official Associates Program information.

Other Affiliate Programs

Amazon is not necessarily the only affiliate partner used by DJ Controller Reviews.

We may participate in affiliate programs operated by other retailers, manufacturers, marketplaces, software companies, music-production companies, or other businesses.

When applicable, links to these companies may also generate a commission for DJ Controller Reviews if you make a purchase or complete another qualifying action.

Affiliate relationships may change over time as we add or remove partners.

Our Reviews Are Not Bought

An affiliate relationship does not mean that a manufacturer or retailer can purchase a positive review.

Our editorial opinions are intended to be based on the characteristics, specifications, performance, usability, value, and suitability of the products we cover.

We may recommend a product that generates an affiliate commission, but we may also recommend products that don’t generate any commission.

Likewise, receiving a commission does not guarantee that a product will receive a positive rating or recommendation.

How We Use Affiliate Links

You may see affiliate links in:

  • DJ controller reviews
  • DJ mixer reviews
  • DJ headphone reviews
  • Studio monitor reviews
  • DJ accessory reviews
  • Product comparisons
  • Buying guides
  • “Best of” articles
  • Product recommendation sections
  • Deals and shopping guides
  • Buttons linking to retailers
  • Other pages containing product recommendations

Where appropriate, we may place a short disclosure near affiliate links so that you can recognize when a link may generate a commission. Amazon specifically requires affiliate disclosures to be clear and conspicuous and located where readers can easily notice them.

Affiliate Links Don’t Change Your Price

Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price you pay.

For example, if a DJ controller costs $999 on a retailer’s website, clicking our affiliate link does not turn that $999 price into $1,049.

The retailer pays the affiliate commission according to its affiliate-program terms.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running a product-review website isn’t free.

There are costs associated with:

  • Website hosting
  • Domain and technical services
  • Research
  • Content production
  • Photography and media
  • Software and subscriptions
  • Website maintenance
  • Email services
  • Advertising and promotion

Affiliate revenue helps us continue publishing product reviews and buying guides without charging readers for every article.

In other words, if you find one of our reviews useful and decide to purchase through one of our links, you may help support the website at no additional cost to yourself.

And for that, we appreciate it.

Editorial Independence

Our Goal Is to Help You Buy the Right Gear

DJ equipment can get expensive very quickly.

A beginner looking for a $250 controller has very different needs from a professional DJ shopping for a $2,000+ standalone system. We therefore try to consider the intended user, features, usability, value, limitations, and alternatives when evaluating products.

We don’t believe every DJ needs the most expensive equipment on the market.

Sometimes the right answer is the cheaper controller.

Sometimes it’s the premium model.

And occasionally, it’s “don’t buy this one; here’s a better option.”

Our affiliate relationships should not change that assessment.

Ratings and Recommendations

Affiliate commissions do not guarantee a particular star rating, ranking, position in a comparison, or recommendation.

A product can receive a positive review without having an affiliate link, and a product with an affiliate link can receive criticism.

Our aim is to provide useful information that allows you to make your own purchasing decision.

Product Samples and Other Compensation

From time to time, products may be provided to us for review or evaluation.

If we receive a product, discount, payment, sponsorship, or another material benefit that could reasonably affect how readers interpret our coverage, we will disclose that relationship where appropriate.

The FTC considers free or discounted products and other things of value to potentially constitute a material connection that should be disclosed when they are connected to an endorsement.

Receiving a product does not automatically mean that our review will be positive.

Prices and Availability

Product prices, availability, specifications, promotions, and retailer policies can change at any time.

For that reason, information displayed on DJ Controller Reviews should be treated as informational rather than a guarantee of a particular price, deal, inventory level, or product configuration.

Before purchasing, we recommend checking the retailer’s current product page for the latest information.

Your Purchase Is With the Retailer

When you click an affiliate link and purchase a product, your transaction is with the retailer—not DJ Controller Reviews.

The retailer’s own:

  • Terms and conditions
  • Return policy
  • Warranty
  • Shipping policy
  • Customer service
  • Payment policies
  • Product availability

will apply to your purchase.

For Amazon purchases, Amazon’s own customer-service and purchasing policies apply.

Transparency Matters

We believe affiliate marketing works best when readers know exactly how it works.

If you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a commission. That doesn’t increase your purchase price, and it doesn’t mean we’re going to tell you a $100 DJ controller is secretly better than a $1,000 one just because the commission is different.

Our job is to help you find gear that makes sense for your setup, your skill level, and your budget.

Your job is to decide whether you actually need another piece of DJ equipment.

We both know you’re probably going to buy it anyway.
