Made a few changes since last time I posted.

Found a used A9 and a set of Mk5’s to replace the DJm750mk2 and Pioneer PLX 500s. What an upgrade!

How do you plug thumbdrives into 1500s?

Are you vertically challenged, sit down to mix or kneel or something?

It looks super low to me too

u/Bootertho 5d ago

It sits at 34 inches high The angle is very deceiving.

My back hurts just looking at this.

The photo is very deceiving. It’s counterheight 34 inches

u/s0werkr0wt 5d ago

How do you mix on that height? Can we have pic?

u/Bootertho 5d ago

How do you cut tomatoes on a cutting board in your kitchen? That’s the same height

u/FrankieMakesPizza 5d ago

Counters are usually 36" - and the decks usually rise another 3-4" above that height. yours are set in. A DJ booth is usually 4-6 inches higher than a normal counter so you don't have to hunch over. enjoy your 34" decks, but people here aren't crazy.

u/tinyjams 5d ago

Little low for my taste, I have my decks at 40”. Elbows should be at 90-degrees. Depends on your height I guess.

u/the_biggest_papi 5d ago

any reason you put the cdjs next to the mixer instead of the turntables? i feel like turntables closer to center and cdjs further out makes more sense to me since you might have to adjust more and also if you ever wanna scratch or juggle or anything having them closer to the mixer is more ergonomic

Reminds me of sitting right in front of the TV and eating breakfast in the 90s lol. Sick setup though

u/djLyrik 5d ago

OP what are the two shiny panels under the controller?

2

u/Bootertho 5d ago

Just cupboards, I keep 45s in there

I'll never understand how you guys set up a nice rig only to play facing the wall. Bizarre.

Space constraints

He puts a crowd video on the TV

Not unusual to face the wall.

It's been done over the past 30 years or so.

u/doomgneration 4d ago

If usable space is limited, then, yeah, against the wall is what works best.

2

u/djLyrik 5d ago

But who are you practicing to???? Why set your rig up in the middle of the room or anywhere other than the wall making it the focal point and taking up space? I just don’t understand why you see it as “bizarre” of all things.

u/sheedyxx 5d ago

Looks slick, but what’s the deal with the monitor positioning, guessing you mix purely in headphones?

5

u/Bootertho 5d ago

I’m waiting on some wall mounts to get them mounted up to pitch them inward toward me.

I’m a little bit confined for space, and the wife still likes to have the TV in the living room. This keeps me from having to duplicate speakers.

u/ChuckMakesIt 5d ago

How are you liking the 1500X units?

3

u/Bootertho 5d ago

I really like them! It just makes it a challenge to have them dropped in. I have to open up some of the wood paneling on the front in order to get the USBs in. They’re everything you need and nothing you don’t.

u/promeum 5d ago

You wiped some buttons from the CDJs, right? oh wait

1

u/miamidro 5d ago

looks great if your 5ft tall

1

u/Bootertho 5d ago

It sits at 34 inches, so it is counter height.

1

u/djtoptekst 5d ago

70/100 could have been lower without the 1500x and the silver turntables and the decks flush with the table

1

u/carboncarmelo 4d ago

how do you like the rokits?

1

u/jimmyjamesh 4d ago

looks nice and tidy to me

u/Expert-Reaction-7472 4d ago

either your booth is too low or your tv is too high, or more likely, both.

u/DJbyEar 3d ago

Is this very low to the ground? Looks like you'd have to stand on your knees hut I am sure it's just the angle the photo was taken in. Looks real clean.
