DJ Booth Inside a Subwoofer

[BradCee]

We regularly play on a table made of Funktion 1 bassbins, like someone said above, mass is the key. We have a big slab of concrete that we put on top.

guessing that holds the needles down pretty solidly

It works ok Here's a vinyl set recorded on it -

The one jump is an over-excited punter banging into one of the stacks, and if you listen to the end you can hear the crowd cheering through the needles

What you want is mass, combined with measures to uncouple your gear from the desk.

3/4 MDF board with large screws protruding about 1' out the other side spikes down onto the table - this minimizes the area that can be effected by rumble and MDF absorbs sound. On top about 2' of Rockwool and on top of that Concrete patio slabs to mount your decks on. That should do the trick nicely for just about any sound system.

If its for turntables take them out of the Flightcases. Technics/Vestax etc have isolation material built into the feet, if the deck touches the side of a flightcase whatsoever you will most probably increase any rumble through the body and the possibility of feedback.

Its ridiculous that when a club is re-designed they dont actually ask a working DJ about the DJ box and its layout ... bet your life they'd ask a chef how to layout a kitchen.

You've obviously never worked in a club kitchen

To the OP. All the above suggestions are pretty well spot on. You can even do multiple layers if the vibration is excessive, but obviously you don't want the decks 5 feet off of the floor.

concrete slabs is the way to go...sounds like an after thought by the designer...surely the sound guys would know it causes issues.
