I need a new setup

mob

i need to buy a new dj setup, a lot of people have started to ask me to dj their parties but i don't have a proper setup that i could bring anywhere except a house. i was looking to buy one of those all in one CD/mixer all in a flightcase setups an amp,speakers and lights. does anyone know any good places to get this stuff?

i was thinking of getting this:

I'd hightly reccommend the vestax cd players with the mixer built in, its fairly basic but its just to spin a few tunes it'd be prefect - also allows you to plug in Decks and two other line sources as well.

vestax cdx-16

Think you can get em in X-Music on the quays or sound city *shiver* for about 800-900 euro

The Kams are probably as reliable but its a bloody big box to carry around and a pretty sh*tty make and no eq'ing per channel (bad for CD's).

Regarding the speakers and amps and lighting, have a lookie in the buy and sell and also Thomann which I'v used for stuff before and they are fantastic, and quick to ship and you dont even need a CC, bank transfer will do fine.

They have a special at the mo on Powered speakers !! no need for an amp here

I wouldn't go near x-music.
they're rip off, the one you pointed out mob is the one a lot of places use for playing commerical/rnb etc. the unit must be quite handy for moving around

The KAM unit is alright for moving from one place to another "if" you have decent transport. It weighs about the same as 1 1/2 technics in flightcases so prolly about about 15-20 kilos, so you wouldn't attempt walking around town with it (although i did manage two technics in FC's on a bus once :O)

Used to rent these uinits out and sell them too and they are fairly reliable most of the time.

The vestax will fit in a small 19' briefcase, though so if its house party's and things, i know it'd be the one i'd go for, extra 150 odd though. (used to sell the first model of these the cd-12 too, and and were my fav dual CD units once they got the bass skipping problem sorted on later models) and the build quality is sooo much nicer.

Another one to look out for is the dual numark with built in 4 channel mixer, (gold color) its cheaper than the vestax, and even the KAM unit at 499 euro inc VAT!!!!

Another option is the numark single top loading players which are also fairly reasonable at about 250 each, and you get a separate mixer not excatly cdj -500's but they are not too bad for the money at about 205 euro at thomann too or the top loading gemini's at 166 each !

Also check out some of the online UK Ebay shops, loads of em do really good deals on old stock.
