KevReasons - Home booth setup

**KevReason** · 10-31-2012, 05:00 AM

Hello guys,

I've recently found this website and thread, so thought I would share with you my setup.

I have only recently had it installed in my new home, details and spec follow the images....

2x Pioneer CDJ900's
2x Technics 1210 mk2
Pioneeer DJM700 Mixer
Technics Headphones
Rotex Amplifier powering Pioneer floor standing speakers
Marantzs Amplifier powering Denon Monitior speakers
Philips CD Burner
Custom made booth by Mark Rhodes Carpentry

I recently changed my setup from 2x CDJ1000 & DJM 600 to the above (obviously the 1210's will always remain

)
Not mega impressed with the latest Pionner build quality over the older 1000's. Also, the DJM700 (brand new when I got it) marks itself with the channel faders!

(my 600 never did this, and is still mint)

I'm planning on installing some fans for the Rotex amp, as after an hour or so of having it pretty loud, it cuts out (goes in to protection mode). Not sure if this is due to heat or not? I need to contact the place where I got it from. I'm not to techy when it comes to equipment, so hopefully I will pick some hints and tips off from this site.

Thanks for the comments guys

I struggle to get my mates to come round though, as I have moved too far away!

Great setup! How are you liking those Pioneer speakers? I have the same ones and I love them.

Mate! They are awesome!!! I blew all my credit cards on the booth and CDJ's, so was on a tight budget for the speakers etc.

So I went a place called Rayleigh hifi and asked for the best available for what I had. When the guy at the shop pulled out the Pioneer speakers, I thought 'what the hell are they going to do?'.

He gave me a demo and I was shocked! So much bass and clarity!

The only trouble I have is with the amp powering them. It cuts out after an hour or so of high volume.
