Dj Rig

Here's a video I shot quick today to demonstrate my progress on my first ever truly compressed DJ setup. I crammed all of my equipment into this tower welded out of 1.5" circular tube steel and sheet metal.

It's been a hell of a fun build, and the concept is ripe for experimentation. Once everything is attached, it's a little too heavy for me to consider it 100% versatille, but it has it's place and will probably perform many an outdoor gig / sound support.

If I don't get to building the second tower, I can just carry a speaker and stand around for stereo, keeping setup quick.

I also have to design and build a steel / aluminum table that will also act as a ramp to prop it into the van with less effort, hmm.

Rolling it is a breeze for something that weighs about 300lbs. And if you don't like carting it, it lays flat and slides on casters.

Equipment as follows:
• Chauvet Min Spot LED Moving Head
• Chauvet Min Wash LED Moving Head
• Chauvet TechnoStrobe LED
• Chauvet ColorPalatte
• Passive Yamaha Top w/1600 Watt Mackie Amp
• Active JBL Bottom (18")
• MXR1U mixer (only 1U!)
• Sonic Maximizer
• Stupid Numark Wireless Mic

Comment and tell me how ridiculous I am for building an all in one DJ setup.

This vid is over 2 years old, about a year ago I posted the follow up with the finished product here: v=71FmobkJvgc

I still use it for every gig and it shaves about 40 minutes off of my setup, so all in all a worthy pursuit.

dj in a box literally

I think it would be cool if you made it a little more symmetrical on the inside, it looks like a mess of black boxes. As for the lights a Colostrip and laser on the top would make another great effect. Good prototype
