Nothing can boost your performance like a dependable DJ booth. While it's the definitive centre-piece for some artists, the most important aspect of any DJ booth is functionality. Ideally, a gig-ready booth supports heavy, professional gear; offers a built-in cable management system; and provides space to set up or mount show-enhancing light effects.
What's a DJ Booth?
DJ booths are sturdy desks that deejays can set their gear up on in a way that matches their style and workflow. It's not simply a matter of size and weight capacity either: DJs need quick, unrestricted access to the right gear at all times. As such, it's essential that you're able to cleanly route any cables through the booth and that there's an extra platform for a laptop or a set of DJ monitors. Also, note that more stylish DJ booths are often made of wood, while more functional models are usually made of metal parts.
Why Do We Recommend DJ Booths and Tables?
DJ furniture doesn't just look cool but can be adapted to your workflow. Every second counts during the set, which is where a DJ booth can come in handy to help you streamline your workflow and keep track of your gear. Also, having your own DJ booths means you'll never have to depend on any folding tables on location, and that assurance alone is worth bearing in mind. DJ booths are also often easy to combine with customised screens or cloths printed with a graphic or logo, which not only add a professional touch but can help boost your profile.
Portable DJ Stands
A DJ stand doesn't have to be a massive piece of furniture. In fact, touring DJs often prefer a DJ booth that's lightweight, compact and foldable. Portable DJ booths are easy to transport using a matching bag but they can just as easily be placed in the back of a car.
Combining a DJ Booth With Trusses and LED Lighting
If you furnish and customise it with cloths, screens, truss systems and light effects, any DJ booth can be easily turned into a show-enhancing command centre. Experiment with shadows and light effects, or complete your setup with an awesome light bridge over the booth and flanking the sides.
