DJ Setups

I am using the DDJ-200 since I got it 3 years ago and will probably use it till it dies. I am using the midi Keyboard to get better 4 deck functionality out of the DDJ-200 with midi mappings on the knobs and faders. The Desk with the monitors is part selfmade part IKEA.

Turns out these things are like crack. Lots of flashy lights, buttons and knobs to interact with, and it plays all my favorite songs.

Even though my setup is relatively high, it bothered me that my mixer was just sitting straight up. I was getting neck pain. So me and my dad decided to build this stand out of some spare wood he had in his garage. I was just going to make a prototype to see if I liked it and then make it out of some proper wood, but I liked it so much I decided to just keep it.

This was my setup in 2020 when corona was hitting hard. I bought my DDJ-RZ and gathered my first experiences in 2016. After 4 years of fiddeling around I convinced myselfe to go all in and buy a used Xone:92 from ebay for just 800€! My first turntable was a PLX-500. Because it is belt driven, It was quiet hard to beatmatch with it, but after a while I got a feeling for it and had a blast! Mixing vinyl is so much fun! When my father-in-law found out about that, he gave me 2x SL1210 which he used back in the days when he owned a Nightclub! They were in bad condition but I deep cleaned them and managed to fix some issues with my semi-good soldering skills (Just shocked me one time!).

Meanwhile I have 2 XDJ-1000mk2 (You can see my setup in my latest Posts.)

This is my current Setup.

Xone:92, XDJ 1000 MK2, SL1210 from 1991. My speakers are the Adam Audio T7V.
