I take great pride in having the latest, most up-to-date equipement as I believe this is the best way to ensure a quality sound. You won’t find any budget, low-end kit from the likes of Argos or Maplin!
Controllers:
For those of you into the tech side of DJing the heart of my set-up is the latest Pioneer DDJ-SX2 Pro DJ Controller.
This is the new and revised version of Pioneer’s ever popular DDJ-SX.
The Pioneer DDJ-SX2 provides all the functions ever needed for a killer set.
The DDJ-SX2 retains the classic, familiar layout of its Pioneer predecessors with sliders, buttons and performance pads logically placed to integrate with the Serato DJ software allowing intuitive mixing.
Back-up Equipment:
Pioneer are renowned for the very best in quality, reliable DJ equipment but as a back-up I keep another Pioneer favourite the DDJ-SB DJ Controller.
Although slightly less complex than the DDJ-SX2 this controller features a “Filter-fade” which allows DJs to create seamless mixes and smoother transitions with just one control, using just one hand.
Despite its entry-level status the DDJ-SB still features eight performance pads, two highly responsive jog wheels, and a manual high/low pass filter on each channel.
Sound System:
It’s no use having the latest DJ controllers only to be let down by a poor sound system.
DJ Soul Revival uses the loud and proud Alto TX12 600-Watt 12 inch speaker system.
The Alto TX series is used by professional musicians and performers, as well as the top DJs, for high-quality, powerful sound night-after-night.
The TX12 comes equipped with efficient, bi-amped Class D amplification that pumps out a generous 600 Watts of peak power. An exacting electronic crossover ensures smooth frequency from the 12 inch bass unit and the 1 inch high-frequency compression driver. In simple terms it sounds great!
Lighting System:
No mobile DJ would be complete without a top-rank lighting system so DJ Soul Revival is proud to feature Music Inc Magazine’s Award Winner the Chauvet DJ GigBAR IRC. This combines 4 essential lighting features including a pair of LED Derby-style effect lights, a pair of LED pars, and an over-head laser with strobe effect to create a dynamic lighting experience for any event.
Presentation:
Nobody wants to see too many trailing wires on show so I have a DJ Booth for a professional presentation.
