Pro Audio & Lighting

Our Story

2400 E 14 Mile Rd, Warren MI 48092

The company you now know as "Pro Audio and Lighting" A.K.A. DJ Supply or DJS Pro Audio and Lighting has actually been evolving since the 1970's:

In the 70's a company known as Disc Jockey Supply was born from the back room of a car stereo shop. In the 80's consumer demand increased, we realized there was a need for a place both professional and home grown DJs and KJs could go and not be treated as an outsider. The dedicated Disc Jockey Supply store was opened. The 90's is when things really started cookin'. The two driving partners of Disc Jockey Supply came together. A second store in Troy (later moved to Warren), and a third store was opened in Garden City. In 1996 we incorporated. In 2000 we added specialty vinyl rooms to each of the stores. In 2004 there was a mutual agreement between the two partners of Disc Jockey Supply. It was decided one partner would run the Waterford location independently and the other would continue to run the Warren and Garden City stores, as well as this web site. In 2005, the vinyl section was removed from the stores and replace with computers, music creation, performance software and accessories. Late 2005 saw the formation of DJS Commercial, to address the specific needs of corporate clients, nightclubs, bars, houses of worship, home, and the entertainment market and any clients that required installation, rentals, repairs and consultation, off site. In early 2006 DJS Commercial did its first installation out of the country in Nassau Bahamas. In December of 2006 the Warren store expanded and opened the largest professional lighting show room in Michigan and surrounding states, featuring cutting edge fixtures not seen anywhere else in the region. In 2007, we were recognized by Chauvet Lighting as their "Northwest Territory Dealer of the Year". In 2007 it was also decided that our focus would be expanded and our name would change to DJS Pro Audio and Lighting. Therefore, we are now able to address the audio and lighting needs of the live performer as well as the Disc Jockey, Karaoke Host and Video Jockey. In 2009 we purchased the web address and phone number of Pro Gear Warehouse, who had similar interests as ours. This purchase improved our procedures and expanded our market even more. In early 2011 we greatly improved our POS software and updated systems to address the needs of our customers. August 1st, 2011 we officially changed the name of our company to "Pro Audio and Lighting" and unveiled the new website address www.ProAAL.com. This site, and the software that runs it, is state of the art and continually being enhanced and updated to improve the customer experience. We hope you like what you see.

The latest chapter in Pro Audio and Lighting history has been written on October 15th, 2012 when we moved to our new home at 2400 E 14 Mile Rd, Warren.
