DJ Booths: New and Improved.

Our DJ booths have been upgraded with new equipment and functionalities so students can better learn, plan and perfect their mixes.

Allen & Heath booth

We’ve installed 4x Pioneer CDJs; 2x CDJ2000NXS2 and kept the 2x CDJ2000NEXUS units that were already in this facility. All are now mounted in the furniture, rather than on any stands. This updated layout is less cluttered and improves workflow by having all of the equipment next to each other.

All four decks are linked so one USB stick can be shared between all four, and all four can control decks in Traktor and Serato.

Vinyl capability

There’s still the option to use vinyl in the facility.  The turntables are connected directly to the mixer, rather than routed through the Rane audio interface. They’ll work without powering the computer on or changing any settings.

Digital Vinyl System

We now have a Phase Digital Vinyl System in the Allen & Heath booth, potentially one of the biggest innovations in DJing. This technology allows you to control Traktor and Serato with turntables; mix your digital collection of tracks using turntables without needles. Endorsed by the likes of Jazzy Jeff, Z-Trip and Skratch Bastid. 

Pioneer Booth

This facility showcases the industry leading Pioneer DJ equipment, now featuring a club-standard setup with a DJM-900NXS2 mixer and four CDJs: 3x CDJ2000NXS2 and 1x XDJ100. The stands have been removed so now all of the DJ equipment is positioned in the furniture for improved usability. Audio from sets can be recorded through Ableton on the Macbook Pro in the facility.

Film

Film or stream DJ sets with our a Blackmagic ATEM and 2x GoPros in both facilities. There are two camera angles, one overhead and a side-angle from the left hand wall. You can switch between angles using the ATEM while recording a set. The video quality is 1080p and 60fps; allowing you to film professional quality video sets on a state-of-the-art equipment set up.
