The term “Silent Disco” evolved out of necessity as a way for underground parties and raves to be able to operate without being ended early by a noise violation. Now, this technology is used in many ways, but Silent Discos remain the most popular.
Silent Discos are parties involving noise-blocking, wireless headphones that connect to wireless transmitters.
Much like a radio with different stations, the Silent Sound System Transmitter broadcasts multiple channels listeners can switch between. So, country, rap, and rock lovers can finally party together in one room without a fight for the aux cord!
Silent Sound System headphones have the capability to connect to three separate transmitters. When audience members switch between channels, their headphones change color between red, green, and blue to show the channel they are listening to. The color shows other dancers where to tune in if they like someone’s moves!
Oxymoron
The idea of a “Silent” Disco seems contradictory. What’s a party without loud music?
At a Silent Disco, nothing but chatter, laughter, and the shuffling of dancing feet can be heard without wearing a pair of headphones. You may think the silence will be awkward, but after people warm up, it is a great opportunity for dancing, people-watching, and conversation! While the concept may be strange to some, it is revolutionary for everyday parties, restaurants, businesses, and large-scale events, and is a tool for sensory inclusion.
Silent Sound System is hosting a Sunset Silent Disco at The Wheel on Steel Pier in Atlantic City, NJ on August 9, 2022, from 7-9 pm. Using our 3-Channel Headphones and Transmitters, you’ll be able to switch between three DJs at the same time. We’ve got a stacked lineup of seasoned talent for you to enjoy, so no channel will be the wrong choice!
Here’s who you can expect behind the decks:
DJ Kevin Kong
DJ Kevin Kong has been a veteran Philadelphia nightlife professional since 1999. Following his first feature residency at the wildly popular Automatic Tuesdays weekly in 2001, he went on to host events at iconic venues such as Fluid, Silk City, Barbary, Rumor, PYT, G Lounge, Transit, Medusa, Trestle, R&D Cocktail Bar, various Atlantic City casinos, and countless more.
DJ Freedom
As a house music fanatic and veteran disc jockey for over two decades, Darryl Atkins aka DJ Freedom, began his record-spinning journey at a time when the art was reserved for only those with a deep passion to pursue such a career. Prior to the turntables, Freedom’s fundamental nature within rhythmic production found him playing the drums and growing up with the nickname “DJ” (his initials). From this coincidental occurrence, hand in hand with his inherent ability to create rhythms at a young age, DJ’ing was a seemingly natural progression.
Freedom’s events are a household name for partiers looking to hear the finest House music Philly has to offer. In all events, productions, and DJ gigs, Freedom’s goal has been to bring purveyors and partygoers from different musical backgrounds and cultures together for the love of music. Freedom’s musical stylings can reach from Deep to Soulful, Funky to Tech. He refreshingly goes against the grain with his productions and consistently top-notch, unique sets. If you are looking to be taken to another level in the realm of true house music, Freedom’s seasoned professionalism and skills behind his instruments are surely the way to get there.
DJ Express

Travis Trip
Stumbling out of the woods of another reality, Travis only has one goal in mind and that is the best vibes for all, alien or human. From the suburbs of Chicago, IL he still focuses all of his energy on the love we all call house music.
On the rising climb to spreading his vibes to all, he’s been mostly playing live shows and not producing as much. Playing recently in the city of Chicago and the woods of Summer Camp and Electric Forest with VIBES Productions, the smiles and dancing continue on. As time flows on, the TRIP he plans on taking everyone on will be intense, and we hope you are all here for the ride!

Silent Sound System, LLC was created by a group of friends and music enthusiasts in 2015. We are a leader in Silent Disco production and are a trademarked brand with unique features that make us an industry leader in Silent Disco technology in the United States. We are locally owned and operated in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Silent Sound System distributes Silent Disco equipment— headphones, transmitters, audio cables and more. We focus on distributing the highest quality equipment to domestic and international clients, ranging from libraries and public schools to entertainment companies and music festivals.
We have the only headphones on the domestic market that are “future-proof,” with a proprietary auxiliary output allowing the user to connect their headphones to complementary sound equipment, such as recording devices and wearable subwoofers (i.e. BASSpak, SubPac, Woojer). In addition, we offer a free management system, customer support, and custom accessories for all of our equipment, and we are currently developing our own digital system for even easier headphone management.
Silent Sound System also rents equipment, so you can try it before you buy it. Within certain distances, we are also available to fully produce a Silent Disco for you or your event!
There are a few things that make Silent Sound System different from the rest:
Free Branding
If you contact us prior to your order, we can add your logo to our headphones in high-gloss vinyl. To take advantage of this offer, simply upload your logo during the checkout process. If you missed sending your logo before you received your order, you can also contact us or email orders@silentsoundsystem.com to figure out a solution. If you would like to have your logo light up like the Silent Sound System logo, our Custom Resin Logo Panels can be applied to your order.
Exclusive Aux Out
Our headphones are future-proof— we’re already ready for what comes next. We have a proprietary, auxiliary output jack that is compatible with BASSpak, SubPac, Woojer, and other wearable bass products that give listeners a full-body bass experience without speakers.
Free Management System
Distributing and collecting headphones is the most difficult part of managing any Silent Sound System event, but we make it easy! We provide free headphone numbering as well as a free headphone management binder with corresponding numbers to hold IDs (or other card/collateral). Eliminating confusion means a smoother event for your guests. This system also aids in loss prevention.
Great Reception
Our transmitters can be placed anywhere, and our headphones receive transmissions up to 1,500 feet away. That’s just over four football fields in distance! Create a dancefloor anywhere, and don’t worry about the audio cutting out in a large venue. The radius of your dance floor can be huge, so your parties can be bigger and better than ever.
Free Transport Totes
All orders over 10 headphones come with free heavy-duty, reusable totes for easy transport to and from gigs. Each tote has the capability to be locked with a standard lock. The number of totes provided depends on the number of headphones purchased.
